"I think ultimately what God wants is to refine us in this homeschooling process. It's not like we're the ones that have it together and we're teaching these children to get it together.

Discussion Questions:
Have you ever experienced a setback or unexpected change in your career or ministry? How did you handle it, and did it ultimately lead to new opportunities or growth?
How do you personally view the concept of work? Do you see it as a means to an end, or do you find enjoyment and purpose in what you do?
Do you believe that everyone has a unique purpose and set of gifts that they can use to meet needs and make a positive impact on the world? Why or why not?
How have you navigated the tension between your responsibilities as a parent and your desire to pursue work or other interests outside of motherhood/fatherhood?
Are there any particular skills or talents that you possess that you feel could be used to serve others and bring in extra income? How might you go about discovering and developing those gifts?
What strategies or techniques have you found helpful for maintaining a positive attitude and finding joy in the everyday responsibilities and tasks of life, particularly in the context of motherhood/fatherhood?
How do you personally define success in work and in life? Is it solely about achievements and accomplishments, or is there a deeper significance that you strive for?
How do you involve your spouse in your career or business decisions? How important do you think their support and involvement is for your success and fulfillment?
Have you experienced any cultural or societal messages that have discouraged you from embracing your uniqueness or pursuing your passions? How have you worked to overcome or challenge those messages?
How do you pass on the idea of work as worship to your children or the younger generation? What strategies or approaches have you found effective in helping them develop a positive attitude towards work and finding purpose in what they do?

We are equipped to teach your children... God is going to call you and equip you. If he is calling you to parent your child, he's going to equip you in that." – Kristi Clover

“If you make homeschooling an ultimate thing instead of a subordinate thing in service of the truth of God and the love of God in Christ Jesus for sinners, that kind of truth and knowledge that homeschooling itself will be perverted. It will become an idolatrous demon that devours you and your kids wholesale.” – Missy Andrews
Yvette Hampton welcomes guest Missy Andrews, from the Center For Lit, who shares her homeschooling journey and her passion for moms, homeschooling, and discipleship. Missy reflects on her own experience with homeschooling, acknowledging its noble purpose but also the damage she caused when making it an ultimate thing. Throughout the episode, Missy emphasizes the importance of knowing one's identity, which comes from God.
Watch this full conversation on our YouTube channel.
Missy Andrews shares her realization that true identity and grace come from God, leading to a change in her understanding of education and a gracious approach to homeschooling. She highlights the importance of admitting ignorance and the need for God in the learning process. Missy discusses the liberation from performanceism and perfectionism.
The interview dives into the importance of recognizing sins, self-reflection, and repentance as a way to address and rectify mistakes made in homeschooling. Missy encourages parents to be honest and open with their children about their own flaws and sinfulness, giving them permission to examine and confess their own sins.
Discussion Questions:
How has your understanding of your own identity been shaped by societal expectations and the search for validation in the wrong places?
In what ways have you observed parents, homeschooling or otherwise, conflate their own personal worth with the success or failure of their children's education?
Have you ever experienced a situation where you unintentionally made someone, whether it be a child or someone else, a means to your own success? How did you reconcile and rectify that situation?
How can we create a safe and transparent environment with our children where they feel comfortable admitting their own flaws and mistakes?
How do you personally understand and navigate the tension between aiming for excellence in education and guarding against turning it into an idol?
Reflect on a time when you felt pressure to succeed in a particular area, and how that impacted your sense of self-worth. How were you able to find value in something beyond the pursuit of success?
Have there been moments in your own parenting or educational journey that served as a wake-up call or learning opportunity, revealing the truth about your own character or need for God's grace?
How does the concept of recognizing our sins and repenting impact the way we approach our own personal growth and development as parents, educators, or mentors?
In what ways can our failures and mistakes as parents or educators actually become opportunities for growth and transformation, both for ourselves and for our children?
How does understanding the historical life, death, and resurrection of Jesus inform and shape the way we approach our homeschooling or educational endeavors? How does it bring liberation and delight to the learning process?
