Because several Homeschooling in Real Life listeners have asked us to address the topic of adoption, we are dedicating two episodes to discussing the ins and outs of adoption and its impact on the homeschooling family. While it would be really easy for us to produce a podcast explaining how to adopt and the benefits involved when a family adopts, we wanted to tackle all of the issues a family might be experiencing when choosing to adopt a child.
In the first of this two-part series, we sit down with our good friends in real life, Jeremy and Michele White, for a serious discussion about adoption. The Whites tell us about the beginning of their adoption journey, what led them to adopt, and how adoption ultimately changed their family and their homeschooling. We hope this story is a blessing and an encouragement to everyone who listens.

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.
