Did you know that the developmental stages of socio-emotional development fit together like puzzle pieces spanning the generations? Titus and Timothy compel us to embrace the intergenerational model, the well of wisdom intended to flow down from one generation to the next. But modern culture segregates ages, ripping apart that fabric of connectivity at the seams. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne for part 1 of...

What happens when parents are not prophesying the word of God over their kids? The demonic prophecies of the world’s system take root in their hearts. Two of today’s primary entry points are scholastic systems and cell phones. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne for an interview with Pastors Jonathan and Joanne Brozozog of Creative Church in Maple Grove, Minnesota. As homeschool parents of eight children, the Bro...

The decision to educate our children at home doesn't mean that we copy the structure, the content, or even the objectives of traditional education. In fact, attempting to model the dysfunctional, drama-fueled, rat-race driven methodology of the traditional model often leaves parents feeling oppressed and discouraged. It's time to break free of the system! Join Dr. Lisa Dunne for a survey...

When Manoah, Samson's dad, learned through an angelic visitation that his wife was going to have a baby, he asked a very important question: "What is the manner of his child, and what is his mission?" While we may not have been visited by an angel to announce our child's arrival, the question is equally vital for us. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne on today's show as she unpacks the u...

Have you ever wondered if a behavioral challenge in your child is pointing to dysfunction or if it's simply a quirky developmental phase?

Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she unpacks more evidence i...

Join us for this week's podcast, an interview with Awaken Academy Balboa Site Director Raechelle Rodriguez, as she...

Recently, California's parents rejoiced when mask mandates were lifted in public schools across the state. But the school system's virtue signaling effort is just a superficial attempt at winning back public trust. It doesn't change the root or the fruit of public education. In fact, the failed content and methodology of today's public education system has followed the same arc...

Parents, the longer you homeschool, the more you'll see the fruit of the model activated in your children's lives! Deuteronomy 6:6-9 exhorts parents to talk about the truth of God's word as we do life together: on the road, at the table, in the field, as we live and work in intersected, integrated lifestyles. The sheer volume of time stolen from parents by the traditional method of...

When parents get plugged in to their purpose and teach from their own talents, cities shift. Cultures change.  Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she interviews homeschool mom and military wife Megan Wagner, who has seen her passion for the arts, her applied creativity, and her relational margin increase dramatically as a result of her decision to homeschool. Parents, homeschooling provides the margin and fre...

Social science research is often bad news before it is good news. When we look at the rates of depression, anxiety, and identity confusion in the youngest generation, we see some common catalysts for this generational belief and behavior. The youngest generations lack the trust and security that comes from a secure base. They have significantly low resilience levels (hence the snowflake moniker) a...

“Learn not the way of the nations,” Jeremiah 10:1 says, “for the customs of the people are vanity.” We don’t hear the word vanity much in common culture today. The word vain, hebel, means empty, unsatisfactory. Certainly, we have all met people who typify this adjective, whose appearance may be radiant but whose minds are vacant. The customs of the people means here their manner, their statute, th...

An intruder has loomed on the horizon for decades, slowly inching its way toward our homes, toward the hearts of our children. A handful of educational prophets have called out into the wind throughout the last century, but parents have either looked the other way or stomped their feet at the enemy, hoping a carnal tactic would give them advantage in a decidedly spiritual battle. Today, the fallou...

Do we want to raise snowflakes or visionaries? Do we want to train up children who will curl up in a fetal position at the first hint of discomfort or champions who will stand strong and hold the line in this increasingly polarizing era? In part two of this episode, Dr. Dunne examines the foundations of developing resilience in the next generation. Drawing from research in biology and neuroscience...

Government schools are not only dumbing us down; they’re hyping us up, creating a new breed of emotion-driven anti-patriot that melts at the mention of truth. Enter the era of the snowflake.  In their brilliant book The Coddling of the American Mind, Lukianoff and Haidt explain the “Great Untruths” being taught in American schools, modern myths that leave students choosing feelings instead of logi...

Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she continues her analysis of the ten toxic traits of public education. Today's trait is being spewed out daily from the sewers of government indoctrination centers, bearing its tragic fruit in a generation of numb, misattuned, and noncommittal spectators. We can't afford to look the other way and hope the system will change, that the world around us will change. I...

Time and time again, the research has shown it to be true: Students learn more effectively in smaller groups, with individualized methods, in familiar settings, on a flexible schedule. In other words, homeschooling.  Why, then, is the government school system not trying to replicate, to imitate, the model that research has proven to be the most overtly superior methodology of educational effective...
