    Riley Lee, President & Founder Skytree Book Fairs
    Aug 19 2025
    Rise them UP! is underwritten by The Wicks Family Grace Foundation Guest: Riley Lee, President & Founder Skytree Book Fairs Introduction, Riley’s background-she worked previously with actor Kirk Cameron How difficult it is for parents navigating the world of children’s books…what’s Christian, wholesome & family friendly. Riley explains how she never thought she would get into the publishing world. How I attended a Drag Queen Storytime library board meeting. How I pointed out how they were a tool of the American Library Association. How I pointed out to them how the drag queen’s outfit was the indoctrination. How her 3-year old daughter attended with her a Scholastic Bookfair. How Riley discovered LBGBQi & DEI books are being sold at those fairs. Subtle, but indoctrination none the less. The difference between what the Left defines as book banning, but is simply parental efforts to make sure their children are not exposed to books that are not age appropriate. Even the movie industry has age-appropriate ratings systems. How does Skytree Book Fairs find their books since they are not a book publisher? How their review board reviews books. Riley introduces their mascot, a golden retriever, named Scout and what Scout stands for. What children are looking for in books, excitement, adventure, humor & fun, not social justice agenda. How their bookfairs work, usually runs 3-5 days. How they partner with nonprofits, schools, churches and ministries splits a percentage of sales. Skytree sends boxes of books and whatever does not sell is returned. But, host of the bookfair does not incur any upfront costs. But, they get to share a percentage of the sales for hosting. Underewriter mention. No upfront costs for the host, but they do screen the applicants and what Skytree as a nonprofit can handle. Riley does then explain how their program works. How much monetarily does the school or church have to sell as a minimum to get a share of the profit? How does a church or school contact them.

    Trent Rogers and Jonathan Wood, authors of "Rooted in Truth, Answers to Lifes Questions for College Student"
    Jul 23 2025
    Introduction of Guests: Trent A. Rogers serves as the Dean of Theological Studies & Associate Professor of New Testament & Greek at Cedarville University. Jonathan A. Wood serves as Vice President for Student Life & Christian Ministries and is an Associate Professor of Theological Studies at Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio. They discuss how long they have been serving college students & the two years it took to write the book. Fred Zielonko-suggests while this book is for students, their parents ought to read it as well. Talking to students working and teaching students led to the writing of the book. And, the two authors polled students & parents as to the questions they wanted answered from a biblical perspective and via biblical truths. Trent talks about how as a college student he was not well connected or intimately connected to your church. Jonathan talked about the chapter he wrote about how to pick a college major. Jonathan did not grow up in church. He learned he had a lot of compassion to help 17-year olds to bring clarity to decision making while in college to help figure out what God has planned for their life. Both professors homeschool their children. Parents want to protect their children, but they also want to prepare them as well. We then review the chapter headings and what all the book covers. Jonathan gives us how he came to Christ not being raised in church, and the questions he asked back as a young man. Then we focused on how to choose a major to pursue. Then the professors discussed how to choose a major; however, we need to focus more on God’s desire for us versus what are our passions. They encourage students to think about how best to serve the world on behalf of God? What are they prepared to do? What are they passionate about? And how one makes that all come together for a student to make a living. They both then talk about how they chose to be what they wanted to be and how that is a meandering route not a straight line towards a career. We discussed how God is directing our path even when we do not know it…. Choosing a major end of the chapter is to “trust God!” Don’t build an idolatry in your own heart whereby it causes you to make bad decisions. We then talk about the overriding theme of the book that is trust & discernment. We also talked about how when students get to college they are in a situation where they make more decisions in a shorter amount of time that they ever did for their life. So, they teach discernment and trusting in God. We also discussed how the book prepares the students for life beyond college including dating and marriage. They challenge students to not fall for the world’s definition of dating and marriage. Instead, take a step back and discern whether your dating life is in accordance with what God has planned for you. We discussed iPhones and technology and its influence upon the college experience. Then we switched directions and talked about after the students read the book how do they put it to use it to fulfill the Great Commission and discipleship. Both while in college and once a student is out, they have a responsibility to be part of the community of the local church. What they see on campus as to who is leading the youth revival. Asked what did the professors learned while writing the book? Getting things to a point of simple clarity for students is needed by students. God’s word is sufficient, but we need to point students continually back to the Word. Where the book can be found.

  • The HSLDA Compassion Curriculum Grants for Poor Homeschool Families & How To Apply

    The HSLDA Compassion Curriculum Grants for Poor Homeschool Families & How To Apply
    Jun 23 2025
    100% of the money for the Compassion Grant Program comes from donors, many are former homeschool parents, and others who support educational choice. We talked about the HSLDA and their core mission of legal defense for homeschool families. Organization is 40-years old. Nearly everyone who works for them homeschool or is a homeschool graduate. HSLDA is a membership organization & what it costs. Here is where podcast listeners can apply for curriculum grants: https://hslda.org/explore/applying-for-a-curriculum-grant And, Lorraine talks about what the requirements are to apply for the grants. Families receiving funds from the state via an ESA, families are not eligible to apply. We talked about references needed to apply they can validate the general circumstances of the family apply and that they will use the money towards homeschooling. All the processes are explained on the HSLDA website via short videos. Or, you can email the Compassion grants team to ask questions. Base amounts in the grants are $300-$400 per homeschool student for core curriculum. HSLDA does not dictate what curriculum you can purchase with thee money. Special needs students and their needs are eligible. Lorriane & Dianne stressed that you use Google Chrome to apply. That works best for applying for the Compassion Curriculum Grant. Earliest opportunity to apply is by JUNE 30th! However, if you miss out, we discuss the two other times of the year to apply. If one’s application is submitted by June 30th of this year, applicants learn if they’ll receive a grant in about 6-weeks, or mid-to-late August. Applicants can call HSLDA Compassion with questions not found on the website at: 540-338-8688. Recap of what it costs to join the HSLDA and financial aid available How does one donate to the HSLDA to fund the compassion grants. Over ¼ of the grants distributed the recipients found out about the HSLDA curriculum grants via word of mouth. And, applicants can apply more than once from year-to-year. HSLDA Compassion Grants Program distributes anywhere between 700-800 grants per year. HSLDA can also assist families struggling through natural disasters with grant money, and those families do not need to be HSLDA members.
