Episode Details

Feeling like you're falling behind or failing your kids? The biggest problem in your homeschool isn't the curriculum or the schedule—it's the lies you quietly believe about yourself. In this episode, we're exploring identity exchange: getting rid of the lies in your head and walking in the calling God's given you.

Kerry shares lessons from Jamie Winship's "Living Fearless" and the story of David—who learned his identity as warrior, musician, poet, and king while watching sheep in obscurity, just like God is forming your identity in the ordinary moments of homeschooling.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

✅Why identity exchange matters: the lies ("I'm not organized enough," "my kids need a real teacher") shape everything you do

✅What David's story teaches us about learning our calling in ordinary, obscure seasons

✅How the enemy attacks Christian homeschool families with little deceptions, not big temptations

✅Why "always" and "never" statements are lies (only God always does something right!)

✅Your homework: Ask God "What lie am I believing?" and write it down (we'll work on truth next week)
