What If I'm Failing My Kid? - Homeschooling Doubts and How to Defeat Them

In this first episode of The Decision Tree Learning Podcast, I share the heart behind launching this show for homeschool families—whether you’re new to homeschooling or a veteran looking for fresh encouragement.

You’ll hear how this podcast was born out of frustration, faith, and a deep desire to support families in making confident, informed decisions about education. I’ll walk you through how clarity often follows action, why mentorship matters, and what you can expect from future episodes.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why this podcast exists—and how it can help you confidently take the next step, wherever you are in your homeschool journey.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Why taking imperfect action leads to real clarity
• How God leads through obedience, not always full understanding
• The difference between information and wisdom in parenting and education
• What to expect from future episodes (and how they’ll support you)
• Why you don’t need to do this alone—mentorship matters
• Encouragement to step into your calling as a homeschool parent
