Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution

Join Yvette Hampton and Eric Hovind, President and Founder of Creation Today, for a 2-part episode, as they discuss how to make science fun and applicable, why a Biblical worldview matters, the importance of pointing our children to Christ, sharing the Gospel, and the impact our secular education system is having on our children and culture.
Eric Hovind grew up immersed in the world of apologetics and following college graduation in 1999, began full-time ministry. President and Founder of Creation Today, Eric's passion to reach people with the life-changing message of the Gospel has driven him to speak in eight foreign countries and all fifty states, to produce 132 episodes of The Creation Today Show broadcasting on three continents, and to translate resources into 42 languages.

Watch the video of this full interview on the Schoolhouse Rocked Backstage Pass website.
Desiring synergy for many creation organizations, Hovind began the Creation Network with four websites already launched including: SearchCreation.org, VisitCreation.org, CreationEvents.org, CreationSpeakers.org, and several more sites near integration.
Excited to have completed their most ambitious undertaking to date, their seven-year 3D film project, GENESIS: Paradise Lost played on over 1,200 screens nationwide November 2017 and is being translated into over 40 languages. Pioneering this work is just one of their many endeavors as Eric and the Creation Today team’s mission remains steadfast: impact the world to KNOW and DEFEND their Creator-GOD!
Eric lives in Pensacola, Florida with his wife Tanya and three children and they enjoy anything outdoors including building projects, riding motorcycles, hiking, and going to the beach. Hovind also remains undefeated in rubber band shooting contests.

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
1 Samuel 12:14-15
If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your king.
Ephesians 6:10-17
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

Join Yvette Hampton for the second part of her conversation with Rich and Barb Heki, founders of Grandparents of Homeschoolers! In this episode, they discuss that education IS discipleship, that grandparents are charged biblically with discipling their children and grandchildren (Psalm 78), that grandparents can make or break homeschooling for many families by their support or opposition, that the most effective solution for grandparents who oppose homeschooling is to get them involved, And, that long distance grandparents can also be actively involved!
We were blessed to have Barb and Rich Heki as speakers for the 2020 Homegrown Generation Family Expo. There is still time to register for lifetime access to this online homeschool conference, which will encourage and equip you whether you are just considering homeschooling or you are a long-time veteran. All attendees also get a Digital Swag Bag filled with hundreds of dollars of excellent homeschool resources. Register today at https://homegrowngeneration.com
Rich and Barb Heki are the founders and directors of Grandparents of Homeschoolers™. As veteran homeschool leaders with four adult children and three grandchildren, they speak nationally and internationally to encourage, inspire and equip grandparents to lovingly support, actively engage in and fully delight in the home-education adventure of their grandchildren - whether they live locally or long-distance.
Visit their website to learn more about Grandparents of Homeschoolers.
Read the transcript of this conversation here.
As always, Backstage Pass members can watch this full interview here (40 minutes).
Having homeschooled their four children from birth to adulthood, the Hekis have served as homeschooling leaders, working with other national leaders, for nearly two decades. During these years, they have written articles, orchestrated events, spoken at conferences, served support groups, worked on homeschooling legislation, and counseled and encouraged homeschooling families one-on-one. They are passionate defenders of parental rights and homeschooling freedoms, encouraging families to seek God's direction in every aspect of their homeschool journey. They view education as a lifestyle, believing that if we teach children HOW to learn, how to LOVE learning, and how to follow GOD's direction in their lives, they will experience what true success really is.
As advocates of multi-generational family discipleship (because education IS discipleship), they are excited to be ministering to grandparents of homeschoolers, connecting the generations through home education.

In the second half of Yvette Hampton’s conversation with Danielle Papageorgiou, they talk about the blessing of lifeschooling allowing us to continue to train our children even when we encounter unforeseen circumstances. Whether we are dealing with severe illness, a move to a new city, learning challenges, or a new baby in the home, lifeschooling allows us to continue to train our children while experiencing all of life's challenges, trails, joys, and adventures. In this episode of The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast, Yvette sits down with Danielle to talk about her passion for integrating education into every aspect of life, and about discovering our children’s gifts, so that they can thrive in the lives God has called them to.
We are very grateful to have Danielle Speaking at the 2020 Homegrown Generation Family Expo, going on this week. This live, interactive, online homeschool conference will encourage and equip you whether you are just considering homeschooling or you are a long-time veteran. All attendees also get a Digital Swag Bag filled with hundreds of dollars of excellent homeschool resources. Register today at https://homegrowngeneration.com
Danielle Papageorgiou has been homeschooling, or “lifeschooling,” for 18 years (she counts birth as day 1!) and has run the WINGS Homeschool Group for the past 9. She has a passion for helping other homeschoolers learn how to homeschool in a way that does not compete with family life, but actually enhances it…homeschooling done in a spirit of freedom, not legalism.
Danielle Papageorgiou's desire is to see more families set free from the world’s expectations of what education is and to discover that God has made each family unique and has also placed in each of their children special gifts and desires that He wants to use. The verse that guides the Papageorgious in their pursuit of lifeschooling is Matthew 6:33, “But seek FIRST the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and ALL these things will be added to you.” (Emphasis hers).
