Check out the September/October 2008 issue PDF* of Homeschooling Today magazine where we consider how we might be laboring in vain Unless the Lord Builds the House.
"Marriage is the setting for some of God’s greatest gifts, right where sinners regularly sin against each other. When (not if) that occurs, the godly will labor with God to build their house His way: through broken and contrite hearts, through repentance and forgiveness."

The Pathway to Freedom for Weary Moms
With so much pressure to do hyper-planning and to live up to everybody else's expectations, there are few voices out there telling Mom to listen only to her husband's leading. Father-led home education gives Mom the freedom to seek to please only one person, rather than the "experts," the relatives, society, the check-out clerk, the government schools, etc.
The Biblical Basis for Father-Led Home Education
Homeschooling father Jim Bob Howard will present an overview of Scripture showing that the onus is on Dad to lead the education of his children. We fathers need to simplify our approach to look at what Scripture says about the end-goal of education and the training up of children. Everything else is a constraint put on by the world, the devil, and our sinful nature.
Where is Mom in all of this?
As a homeschooling mother of four, Amy Howard will encourage Mom to seek our heavenly Father's will by seeking our husband's desire for his children. If you're ready to throw in the towel… that's great! Come listen how to do it.
Join Kevin Swanson of Generations with Vision as he talks with Steve and Kara Murphy of Homeschooling Today magazine:
Dads and Moms HomeschoolListen to the broadcast on OnePlace.com.
Imagine visionary fathers and Proverbs 31 mothers engaged in a united vision in millions of homes across America! What a contrast with the world of post-modern humanism where 37% of children are born without marriage, a 95% rate of fornication, and where half of marriages end in divorce. Midst the chaos, a biblical vision is beginning to creep back into tens of thousands of households across America.
Here Kevin Swanson chronicles one family's journey, Steve and Kara Murphy from Homeschooling Today magazine. First, it was mom's vision. Then, dad captured a vision. Now, together they are home educating/disciple-ing 7 sons and 1 daughter using a method that is hardly recognizable to those raised in conventional classrooms!
When Kevin Swanson of Generations with Vision wanted to talk about the father's role in home education, he interviewed Jim Bob Howard, Editor-in-Chief of Homeschooling Today magazine:
When moms by the millions pulled their children out of the public schools and began schooling them at home, we called it a homeschooling movement. But what about dad? Although the movement is still seen as a mother's project, many fathers are beginning to catch a vision as well. And when this happens, the movement really solidifies.Listen to the broadcast from the Generation program archives.
In this interview with Jim Bob Howard from Homeschooling Today Magazine, we explore the ways in which dads can get involved in the homeschool and begin to supply the much-needed vision in homes across America.
Jim Bob Howard and Steve Murphy were featured on the Homeschooling for Life radio show, hosted by David and Kim d'Escoto:

On another edition of Homeschooling for Life. Jim Bob and Steve talked about the history of our modern education system and how it is a far cry from the biblical model of training children. Listen as they encourage fathers to return to God's plan, turning their hearts toward their children as the children turn their hearts to their fathers.Listen to the broadcast in the Homeschooling for Life Archives.
