Enrichment studies add beauty and depth to our children's education. While I want my children have a strong academic foundation, I also understand I am raising souls. I want them to taste of the beauty and richness of our creative God and the world He has made. It also exposes them to a variety of pursuits, giving them skills they can use to bring joy and bless others.

In this episode, I share some enrichment studies we have delved into in our homeschooling and how that has brought delight to our learning!

We chat about art, Shakespeare, cooking & baking, music, and more.

“How do you read so many books?” It’s a question I get asked all the time! Over the years I’ve developed a few simple habits that help me keep reading even in the middle of a very full life.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to make reading a regular part of your life, even when you’re busy with motherhood, homeschooling, ministry, work, and all the other responsibilities that fill our days. I’m sharing the practical things that have helped me work toward a goal of reading 60 books a year.

We discuss...

• Creating a reading habit
• Setting an attainable goal
• Using pockets of time wisely
• Making reading a priority
• Listening to audiobooks

You don’t have to completely rearrange your life or read for hours every day. Sometimes, simply reading one chapter a day or making better use of a few small pockets of time can make a surprising difference.

Simeon joins me to share our conviction of why we use the King James Version of the Bible. Beginning with the foundation of understanding the different texts (the Byzantine family and the Alexandrian family) and moving to the means of translation(word-for-word, thought-for-thought, and paraphrase), he shares why the KJV lines up best with the original languages. We also address the question of the KJV being harder to understand, sharing insight and advice on how to "study to show thyself approved unto God."
