Episode 54: Why the Rise in African American Homeschooling, Part Two
/In this second installment of our two-part series, Why the Rise in African American Homeschooling?, we welcome Belinda Bullard into the studio to talk about her experiences growing up black in America, watching her kids as they progressed through the public school system, and then ultimately bringing them home to homeschool them.
Belinda has written an inclusive curriculum that celebrates the African American heritage and aims to strengthen and empower the African American student and their family.
As with our part one interview with Dr. Ama Mazama, we want to encourage you to listen even if you're not an African American parent. We found our eyes opened to real issues of racism and culture, and hope that we and our listeners can begin to be a part of the solution to the reality of racism and inequality everywhere.

In this final installment of our three-part series on financial fear, we're returning to our roots and discussing how hope shifting can factor into our fear when it comes to finances.
More regularly described as idolatry, "hope shifting" simply means that we're putting our hope in something other than God for our well-being and care, a habit that comes easily to many of us living and working in first-world countries. How does the idea that we can and should provide for ourselves and our families too often morph into a belief that our hard work and stockpiling will be what ultimately brings us security?
We're talking all about hope shifting, finances, and the freedom that relying on the true provider can bring to our marriages and families.
