Homeschooling can feel overwhelming, intimidating, and heavy — especially when you’re trying to honor God, meet your child’s needs, and quiet the voice that says you’re not qualified.

In this episode of The Purpose of Motherhood Podcast, we’re talking about homeschooling with peace through a Christ-centered lens. This is not a “do it perfectly” or “do it my way” conversation. It’s an invitation to release pressure, embrace calling, and remember that God entrusted you with your children on purpose.

Inspired by real questions from moms in our community, this episode covers:

• The heart behind homeschooling and why we say “Heaven, not Harvard”

• Why homeschooling is about discipleship, not recreating public school at home

• The lie that says you’re not equipped — and what Scripture actually says

• When to start homeschooling and why there is no “right” age

• What homeschooling legally looks like in the United States

• Curriculum choices, daily schedules, and realistic expectations

• How homeschooling can create space for peace, relationship, and flexibility

• Common concerns about socialization and what it really means

If you’re a Christian mom, a stay-at-home mom, or a homeschooling mom (or homeschool-curious mama) who wants a calmer home, deeper discipleship, and a learning rhythm rooted in faith instead of fear, this episode will remind you that you are more capable than you’ve been told.

Homeschooling isn’t about control or comparison.

It’s about calling, relationship, and raising children who know Jesus, love truth, and walk confidently in who God created them to be.
