Christians Turn the World Upside Down
Christians Turn the World Upside Down “And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;” Acts 17:6 (KJV) Who were these men?

How to Teach
How to Teach One would think that a parent wouldn’t have any apprehensions about his or her ability to teach his or her children. After all, most parents have a history of attending either a traditional school or a homeschool and graduating from one. But as with just about anything—for most individuals—something new can be intimidating. This can be especially the case when considering how the future of our nation rests heavily on the next Read more about How to Teach[…]
Words Matter
Words Matter Our oldest daughter is writing a novel. Since she wants the story to make sense and come to life for her readers, she’s taking great care with the use of words. Rough draft after rough draft, she alters wording until she gets descriptions to picture match what she wants to convey. In some cases, she needs to define words to be certain she’s using them properly. And before too long, she’ll be ready Read more about Words Matter[…]

What to Know About Voting for the President
What to Know About Voting for the President I’m pretty sure most of us have felt like we’re at a crossroads when it comes to voting for a President. We hear several different things such as: “Vote by party.” Or we’ll hear: “Vote principle over party” (while wondering what that may exactly mean). And then there’s the most famous one: “Vote for the lesser of two evils.” It’s enough to make a person throw their Read more about What to Know About Voting for the President[…]
Are Christians the Losers in History?
Are Christians the Losers in History? As I sit back and observe current events in America, I’m wrestling with some questions. Why are some Christians so hands-off with civics? How is it that Christians think voting is duty enough? Or that it’s nothing to bother with at all? Why is America in decline when God’s people are involved with outreach and community activities? Did Christians ever impact the culture? If so, what has derailed us Read more about Are Christians the Losers in History?[…]

How to Unite America
How to Unite America It sounds strange, doesn’t it? After all, aren’t we the United States of America? But we all know too well that we don’t quite own up to that union as much as we have in times past. Of course, some individuals will argue that. They’ll say that the shape America is taking is quite what they have in mind. Therefore, to them there’s quite a union indeed. And perhaps there is Read more about How to Unite America[…]

Now that we have that out of the way, there’s something else of which you need to be aware. Self-Gov’t likes riddles of sorts. Yeah, he sounds like a real character.

The Ultimate Guide To Homeschool Conferences
The Ultimate Guide To Homeschool Conferences You know, I’ve been homeschooling long enough to have my first high school graduate. And last year was my first year attending a homeschool conference. (Tell me I’m not the only one who has put it off for years.) Mainly, I simply didn’t care to travel to a city which I don’t really care much for in order to attend one. But, that all changed when the conference changed Read more about The Ultimate Guide To Homeschool Conferences[…]
What Everyone Must Know About the Principle Approach®
There’s a misunderstanding about what is taught in regards to American History when it comes to the Principle Approach®. As a mother who has been homeschooling with this philosophy and method for over a decade, I’m a witness to it. Whereas some individuals glance through materials to review it or they don’t utilize the approach entirely. Therefore, they walk away with a misunderstanding about it when it comes to History. As such, I strongly feel Read more about What Everyone Must Know About the Principle Approach®[…]

The Art of Nation Making and America
The Art of Nation Making and America When you were attending school or being homeschooled, you probably learned about different civilizations. And you probably learned about the history of them on a time line. If you’re homeschooling your children, they too are probably learning these things. But did you and are they learning the art of nation making and America? For certain, I hadn’t learned it.

The Self-Governed Child: The Hope of Our Nation
This guest post is by Gina Harden with Liberty Grows. The Self-Governed Child: The Hope of Our Nation Every religion has its form of government. Judaism has the Mosaic law, a form of external government; Islam has Sharia law; and “Christianity astonished the world by establishing self-government in America.” Self-government is the government of God internally. James Madison said that we “rest all our political experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government.” Many Read more about The Self-Governed Child: The Hope of Our Nation[…]
The Noah Plan
What is the Noah Plan? It’s an amazing gift to us from Noah Webster. I’m not kidding. While Noah Webster spent twenty-six years of his life compiling his 1828 Dictionary for our nation, it wasn’t his only contribution. In fact, he left more in his inheritance for Americans. Indeed yes, it’s our inheritance. But as with any inheritance, in order for us to have it, we have to claim it… Noah Webster’s Intellectual Property Read more about The Noah Plan[…]
The Principle Approach® and Greek Myths
The Principle Approach® and Greek Myths If you’re like me, at first you may not be sure where to take the topic of studying Greek Myths. In my educational background, home education makes up most of my formal education. And my parents didn’t ever teach us about Greek Myths. In fact, The Little Mermaid was off limits because of the false gods in the film. So, naturally my initial inclination is to also not teach Read more about The Principle Approach® and Greek Myths[…]
Saving America with the Principle Approach
Saving America with the Principle Approach® She’s super special to me. And even though she’s much older than I, it’s a blessing to know her. Or at least to know her through her past. Without doubt, she’s changing. And it’s concerning to me. By all means, to see her character suffering so is excruciatingly painful. On all sides, people think they know what the answer is. Yet, I question how the things many people say Read more about Saving America with the Principle Approach[…]
Notebook Pages for The Noah Plan® Kindergarten Curriculum
Notebook Pages for The Noah Plan® Kindergarten Curriculum I love that the Principle Approach® philosophy and method may be used with any Christian curriculum. Really, in order to apply it to other curricula one needs to use the 4R method. And to have the “big red books” that teach us our Christian Heritage and Constitution. However, thankfully there’s a curriculum which already utilizes it. Indeed there is one and it’s called the Noah Plan® Curriculum. Happily, there’s Read more about Notebook Pages for The Noah Plan® Kindergarten Curriculum[…]
Teaching Self-Government
Teaching Self-Government Teaching Self-Government is the second governmental principle we teach in a Biblical-Classical Education. In fact, it plays a highly important role in the formation of Christian character. And it’s taught throughout Scripture and is something we see our Forefathers and Founding Fathers value. Plus, it’s a part of Webster’s 1828 dictionary definition of education. As such, it’s a key study and training in a Biblical-Classical education. Self-Government Consider the defining aspects of Read more about Teaching Self-Government[…]

Teaching America’s Providential History
Teaching America’s Providential History Many Americans who are Christian are unaware of God’s Providence in regards to the history of our nation. As such, there’s a concerning lack of parents and teachers teaching America’s Providential History.

The Bible Principle Approach® Ripple Effect
This guest post is by Anna Durham with PrincipledMom.net. The Bible Principle Approach® Ripple Effect West Texas in the 1980’s meant open skies, big oil, and even bigger hair.

My mother went to a conference—at our pastor’s insistence—and was bitten by the Bible Principle Approach® bug. She came home inspired to learn more, and soon after, started Read more about The Bible Principle Approach® Ripple Effect[…]
