Know Your "WHY" - Aby Rinella, Best of the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast

What does the Bible say about training the hearts of our children? Join Yvette Hampton and Aby Rinella in this "best of" episode of the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast. This was Aby's first time on the show and she and Yvette discussed what the Bible calls us to as parents, especially in regards training the hearts of our children.

Aby Rinella is, above all, a follower of Jesus. She is also the director of her local homeschool co-op, director of women’s ministry at her church, wife, mom and teacher to the Rinella children. She writes and speaks on homeschool, motherhood, parental rights, the culture war and more and has a passion for encouraging and inspiring women to live the life they were designed to live.

Aby and her husband also write for the outdoor industry about their adventures together, showing their kids the Creator by spending time in His creation.

Come back Wednesday and Thursday to hear from Eric Hovind in another "best of" conversation.

"Why do I homeschool? Because today my children will be at home with me, learning about the catastrophic events that happened in New York. About the evil that happens when we deviate from God's design. And about how we have a God that mourns because he loves his people. They will be home with me, praying for the preborn babies, rather than in a public school system that tells them they get to choose for themselves what is good and evil, rather than looking to God for truth." - Aby Rinella
