Often, the fears we face as moms don’t come from a place of wisdom as much as they come from the world. I know, because I have dealt with these fears. What if I mess up my kids? What if they can’t get into college? What if we can’t afford to live on one income? What if I don’t have enough education?
Friends, the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (1 Corinthians 3:19). It is hard, I know, to exist in this fallen world while simultaneously living out the basic principles in scripture. Sometimes it feels impossible.
Homeschooling is like that for many moms. It just seems too overwhelming to even begin. We envision starting a tiny private school in our living room, with all the supplies and costs and experience that go along with that. We recognize our humanity, fearing that we will fail to be patient enough or smart enough to be mildly successful.
But fearing the worst is what keeps so many families from the blessing of home-based, biblical education. This blessing includes Christian education, protecting little minds from very worldly ideas, providing solid academics, having family discipleship, and so much more.
There are some very common fears that prevent moms from thinking that they can homeschool their children, and I want to put them to rest today. Read my full post for Expository Parenting Ministries here.
