Rick Green, Part 2 - Hope is Alive: Empowering Parents, Inspiring Patriots
"What makes our role so fun and exciting, what makes the homeschool movement so important right now, is that we don't just get to live and exist in this. We get to be the deciding factor, I think, on whether America falls into Tyranny or comes back to liberty. We're teetering between the two." — Rick Green
With so much discord and upheaval in the world, it can be easy to give into despair if we lose sight of our true source of HOPE. Like the Men of Issachar, we must understand the times and know what to do. Rick Green, founder of Patriot Academy, joins Yvette Hampton for a thought-provoking conversation as he shares strategies for families to understand and navigate the current state of our country with a Biblical, Constitutional, and Historical perspective, full of JOY and HOPE! Together, we’ll train up a generation of leaders who are ready to fight for our freedom and spread HOPE throughout their communities.
