How do you raise kids who stand firm in a world that pulls them to conform? In this episode, Joe and Melissa Bates peel back the layers of their homeschooling life, where faith, community, and conviction collide with real-world challenges. From multi-generational Sabbath gatherings to a teen selling HVAC to folks triple his age, they share how their kids learned to navigate life alongside people of all walks—not just their peers. Picture a shy homeschooler building a housecleaning gig or a football star choosing practice over Friday night games, all while lifting his team. This episode digs into the quiet strength of integrity—how it’s forged in a family that prays for a guiding word and lives it out through service, grit, and going against the grain. It’s a grounded, heartfelt look at parenting with purpose in a fragmented world.
BIG IDEA
“We have to be able to live in and among people that aren’t exactly like us and I think that’s something that the kids really grew a skill… where they’re able to interact with.”
