Veteran homeschooling mom of seven, Rachael Carman is here today and we're reminiscing about the good times, sharing what we wish someone would have told us 25 years ago, telling you what matters and what doesn't, and giving you a big ole' virtual cup of coffee and a hug. Mom, you can stay the course. It's worth it, and it won't actually kill you! (And if you're not a homeschooling mom, there's a good bit in here for you, too!)

Today we’re doing Mailbox Monday with my friend Pastor Phil Hopper who’s adding his shepherd’s perspective to our questions.

My husband doesn’t want to have sex. It’s been 2 years and I need help! | Christians and pastors say that homeschooling shelters our kids and limits their growth. How do I combat this? | My boyfriend believes in evolution. Can you be a Christian and agree with evolution? | How do you know when it’s time to find a new church? | My son wants a girl who wants to stay home, but he can’t find one. How can we encourage him? | And more!

Today we’re talking with Drs. Mark and Michele Sherwood about baby snoring, thoughts on ivermectin for parasites, and bioidentical hormones. We’re also having a good heart to heart about having wise people in your corner when you need really good medical advice, which is where I find myself at this moment. That’s where I’ve been lately, and I’m thankful for all the doctors on my team that the Lord has given to walk with me through this current situation.

There is a large contingent of evangelical leaders that believes Christians should not talk about- much less engage in- political topics. We see today how this has worked out for us, as there are few strong Christians in the political sphere and millions of Christians who don’t even vote.

My friend Pastor Sam Sanden is here today to share the how and why of taking the Biblical worldview outside the walls of the church and into our communities. He does this better than anyone I know at his church and in his community!Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

If you’re like I am, STEM isn’t your strong suit, though I know it matters in our world today! The STEM part of homeschooling was where I needed extra help, and while science help isn’t hard to find, that isn’t always the case with technology and engineering. Robert Walsh is here today to talk about the how and why of the T and E in STEM education, and what he did to make an easy button for homeschooling families. Don’t miss his excitement about STEM education-even if it isn’t your thing! It matters, and Excalibur Solutions is your best helper.

Sponsor | Excalibur Solutions: We are passionate about ensuring all students have access to high-quality STEM education, particularly in the areas of Technology and Engineering. https://stem.excalibur-solutions.com/
