I Hate Homeschooling, Part 1 - Yvette Hampton and Aby Rinella

I Hate Homeschooling! When will the yellow bus be here? Where do I sign them up for “real school?” Have you ever had any of these thoughts? If so, you’re not alone. Many parents have been faithful to home educate their children but they struggle to find joy in the journey.

Join Yvette Hampton and Aby Rinella as they discuss the many reasons why some hate homeschooling, then be encouraged as they share some ways to combat those feelings of discouragement, anxiety, and inability.

Join us Wednesday for the rest of this conversation.

Yvette Hampton is a homeschool mom through and through, but it wasn’t supposed to be this way. Like so many other homeschoolers, Yvette and her husband, Garritt, said they would NEVER homeschool their kids, but God had other plans. She is the producer and host of the upcoming documentary, Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution, being directed by her husband, Garritt Hampton. She is also host of The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast. As a mom who is concerned for the future of this generation and the future of our country, Yvette has a deep passion to see a culture shift by encouraging people through the truth of God’s Word. Her greatest joy in life is being a wife and mom!

In the fall of 2016, she and her family sold their home and almost all of their possessions, loaded up in an RV, and began traveling the country to film Schoolhouse Rocked. They have a passion for the homeschool community and are humbled and honored that the Lord has called them to tell the stories of the millions of families who have been impacted by the homeschool revolution. 

Aby Rinella is a former public school teacher turned passionate homeschool mom.  
Aby resides in the mountains of the west with her college sweetheart and 3 awesome kids where they enjoy all things outdoors.  She is a writer and speaker seeking to encourage and inspire women to live the life they were designed to live, to train up their children in God’s Word, and to stand on truth in a culture that has lost its foundation. 

Aby and her husband, Jesse, speak and write on the benefits of pointing children to their Creator through spending time out in His creation. They are also passionate about encouraging men and women to prioritize the calling they have been given to raise their families the way they were designed.  You can find them at CalledToTheTop.com or on Facebook at Aby Rinella-His Calling My Passion.

Scripture mentioned

Philippians 4

Philippians 2:4 “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

See it as serving the LORD – 1 Sam 12: 24 - “But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.”

Psalm 1 Blessed is the man

    who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in the way of sinners,

    nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

² but his delight is in the law of the Lord,

    and on his law he meditates day and night.

³ He is like a tree

    planted by streams of water

that yields its fruit in its season,

    and its leaf does not wither.

In all that he does, he prospers.

⁴ The wicked are not so,

    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

⁵ Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;

⁶ for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,

    but the way of the wicked will perish.
