    What Does God Do for Me? Have you counted your blessings lately? If you’re reading these words, God has already done something for you. During Arts‑n‑Crafts, we create an overflowing cup of thanks using red and blue food coloring and water. Then we discuss the Portfolio Review. We conclude our interview with Donna Wyland, whose book The Last Best Year offers an inspirational walk through her heart as she reflects on gratitude and the life so many of us long to experience.

  • HSC 2026-01-21 Last Best Year, Part 1 - Donna Wyland
    Jan 21 2026
    What is sin? While we often equate sin with bad actions, we remind our listeners that all of us have fallen short of the glory of God and that our own righteousness is but filthy rags. During Curriculum Corner, we explore ways students can earn academic credit on family trips. Then we begin our interview with Donna Wyland about her book The Last Best Year. Having endured countless tragic losses throughout her life, Donna has learned to embrace the unexpected, cherish gratitude, and look for the blessing in every circumstance.

    Today we reflect on the act of worship and explore simple ways to make it more engaging and meaningful. During Curriculum Corner, we look at practical approaches to beginning the homeschooling journey. Then we continue with Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Rachel Nelson about My Bible First. The founders especially felt the need for Bible lessons that would reach children and their families, help young learners understand Scripture more deeply, and connect each story to practical, everyday life.

  • HSC 2026-01-19 My Bible First, Part 1 - Rachel Nelson
    Jan 19 2026
    We often imagine we must pray in a certain way or be “good enough” for God to hear and answer us. Today, we’re keeping it SIMPLE. During Arts‑n‑Crafts, we make door‑knob hangers, begin a prayer journal, and trace an outline of our body to cover with praise and prayer. We also begin our interview with Dr. Rachel Nelson, a pediatrician and the President of My Bible First, a Bible curriculum focused solely on Scripture. My Bible First began in 2000, when a small group of dedicated Christians earnestly prayed for their children.

    Jan 13 2026
    During our devotional time, we explore the wonders of migration. How do birds and insects know when it’s time to go? In Arts‑n‑Crafts, we head to the Forest Classroom for a hands‑on migration activity. This leads us into Curriculum Corner, where we discuss the first steps of homeschooling when you pull your children out of traditional school mid‑year. Then we move into our interview with Pastor Ron Kelly. He is married to Collene, an elementary school teacher, and together they have four children. Ron enjoys wilderness canoe trips, mission travel, and spending time working alongside his family and friends.
