Scripture References
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.

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.

Yvette Hampton talks with Cindy Rollins, homeschool mom, speaker, and author, about finding meaning, purpose, and beauty in the litany of home-life. They discuss how moms can develop lifelong habits for themselves and how they can encourage their children to develop good habits. How can you focus on a daily rhythm rather than strict scheduling? And how can you zero in on the power of attention (in the student, in the mom, and in society) and its role in a future life of prayer?
Cindy Rollins homeschooled her nine children for over 30 years. She is the co-host with Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks of the popular Literary Life Podcast and curates the Over the Back Fence Newsletter at Cindyrollins.net.  She is the author of Mere Motherhood: Morning Time, Nursery Rhymes, and My Journey Toward Sanctification; A Handbook for Morning Time, and the Mere Motherhood Newsletters.
She runs an active Patreon group where they read Charlotte Mason's Volumes and discuss questions pertaining to motherhood and life. Her heart’s desire is to encourage moms using Charlotte Mason’s timeless principles. She lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee with her husband Tim and dog Max. You can also find her traveling around the country visiting her 13+ grandchildren, watching her youngest son play baseball, and occasionally speaking at events.

Wednesday Jan 20, 2021

Yvette Hampton talks with Cindy Rollins, homeschool mom, speaker, and author, about finding meaning, purpose, and beauty in the litany of home-life. They discuss how moms can develop lifelong habits for themselves and how they can encourage their children to develop good habits. How can you focus on a daily rhythm rather than strict scheduling? And how can you zero in on the power of attention (in the student, in the mom, and in society) and its role in a future life of prayer?
Cindy Rollins homeschooled her nine children for over 30 years. She is the co-host with Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks of the popular Literary Life Podcast and curates the Over the Back Fence Newsletter at Cindyrollins.net.  She is the author of Mere Motherhood: Morning Time, Nursery Rhymes, and My Journey Toward Sanctification; A Handbook for Morning Time, and the Mere Motherhood Newsletters.
She runs an active Patreon group where they read Charlotte Mason's Volumes and discuss questions pertaining to motherhood and life. Her heart’s desire is to encourage moms using Charlotte Mason’s timeless principles. She lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee with her husband Tim and dog Max. You can also find her traveling around the country visiting her 13+ grandchildren, watching her youngest son play baseball, and occasionally speaking at events.

How do we remain steadfast at home while the world is seemingly on fire? We turn to God’s Word and heed His instructions to us. We MUST gird up and teach our kids to do the same. He is a merciful God with a great plan and, like Queen Esther, He has each one of us here for such a time as this!

Scripture Referenced:
Esther is the only book in the Bible not to mention the name of God. But God certainly wasn’t absent. His presence permeates much of the story.
 
God’s sovereignty and faithfulness permeates each scene
 
Esther 4 “When Mordecai learned all that had been done, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and he cried out with a loud and bitter cry. 2 He went up to the entrance of the king's gate, for no one was allowed to enter the king's gate clothed in sackcloth. 3 And in every province, wherever the king's command and his decree reached, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting and weeping and lamenting, and many of them lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 When Esther's young women and her eunuchs came and told her, the queen was deeply distressed. She sent garments to clothe Mordecai, so that he might take off his sackcloth, but he would not accept them. 5 Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs, who had been appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what this was and why it was. 6 Hathach went out to Mordecai in the open square of the city in front of the king's gate, 7 and Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews. 8 Mordecai also gave him a copy of the written decree issued in Susa for their destruction,[a] that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her and command her to go to the king to beg his favor and plead with him[b] on behalf of her people. 9 And Hathach went and told Esther what Mordecai had said. 10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach and commanded him to go to Mordecai and say, 11 “All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that if any man or woman goes to the king inside the inner court without being called, there is but one law—to be put to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter so that he may live. But as for me, I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.”
12 And they told Mordecai what Esther had said. 13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not think to yourself that in the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” 15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 16 “Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.” 17 Mordecai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.”

Scripture Referenced:
1 Thes. 4:11 “...make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you”
Paul warned us in 2 Thes: While we are waiting for Jesus to return, we are not to be idle and quit the work He has called us to.
1 Cor. 7:17 - “Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you.”
Romans 12 – many members/ different function
Prov. 22:6 - “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Deut. 6: 5-9 - “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Take to heart these words that I give you today. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you’re at home or away, when you lie down or get up. Write them down, and tie them around your wrist, and wear them as headbands as a reminder. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”
Deut. 11:18-19
8 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
Psalm 24:1
“The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.”

“I can’t afford to homeschool.” “I don’t have what it takes.” “I’m not patient enough.” “My kids won’t be socialized.” “My kids are called to be salt & light.” “The public schools in our area are excellent.”
These are the reasons we often hear why parents choose to keep their kids in public school. But what’s really going on in the classrooms, behind closed doors, and on the playground? What are our children really being exposed to and is it happening in YOUR neighborhood?
Join Yvette Hampton, Aby Rinella, and Heidi St. John as they tackle the important topic of public schools and why we need to get our kids out NOW!

Many parents choose to homeschool because they value family relationships. However, though it’s not intentional, it’s quite common for the children to become the priority and for the marriage relationship to be pushed aside. It’s difficult for a family to thrive if the relationship between husband and wife is not Christ-centered and healthy.
Yvette Hampton is joined by Kirk Cameron as he shares some of the lessons he and his wife, Chelsea, have learned about setting a solid foundation over the past 28 years of marriage, and through many years of homeschooling.

Kirk Cameron has been a part of the national landscape since starring as “Mike Seaver” in the ABC hit sitcom, “Growing Pains.” That role turned him into a cultural icon in the 80’s, with his mullet hairstyle, cool sunglasses, and wisecracking comebacks. Since then, he’s appeared in numerous television and movie productions, including the “Left Behind” series, “Monumental,” and “Fireproof”- the marriage-centered film that became the #1 grossing inspirational movie of 2008. His newest film, Connect, offers “real help for parenting teens in a social media world.” 
Kirk and his wife, Chelsea, met on the set of “Growing Pains” and have been married for over 27 years. Together they have six children and host an all-expenses-paid summer camp for terminally ill children and their families called Camp Firefly.

There’s a Revolution Transforming Education and it’s NOT Happening in the Classroom!

Schoolhouse Rocked will rock your educational world to the foundations and give you and your kids great hope for the future! The old-school paradigm has proven broken and a new way of learning is here. Don’t miss this important film!” – Kirk Cameron

“Our precious children (and grandchildren) are much too important to entrust to a system that seeks to indoctrinate them with the radical ideology of the Left. Schoolhouse Rocked is excellent and a wonderful testimony to the growing popularity of home schooling and the superior education that it provides young people.” – Dr. James Dobson

“This is not an exaggeration to say, this is the movement that is needed to save this country.”

– Rick Green
