    Introducing the Vision: Kids & Adults Growing in Christ

    As a family, we are both humbled and excited to launch ChristSchooling.com—a space God has laid on our hearts to build, nurture, and steward for His glory. This platform is more than a Christian homeschooling resource; it’s a calling, a ministry, and a movement.

    Our mission is simple yet profound: to help both kids and adults grow in Christ through a faith-filled learning journey rooted entirely in God’s Word.

    In a time when the world offers shifting values, fleeting truths, and increasingly secular systems, we believe there is a deep need for a return to what is eternal, unchanging, and life-giving—the Bible. Through Christ Schooling, we seek to offer families a way to center life and learning around Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).

    A Family’s Vision, A Kingdom Purpose

    Our journey began as parents—yearning to raise our child in the fear of the Lord and the fullness of truth. Like many Christian families today, we were increasingly concerned about what our son was absorbing, not just in academics, but in worldview, identity, and character.

    And the Holy Spirit made it clear: this wasn’t just about our son. This was a call to help families everywhere discover the joy of growing in Christ together—parents and children, learning side by side, anchored in the Word.

    This vision gave birth to ChristSchooling.com—a Christian homeschooling platform designed for families seeking something more than academics… they seek transformation.

    “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” —Proverbs 22:6 (ESV)

    The Bible: Our Foundation for Life and Learning

    At Christ Schooling, the Bible is not an add-on—it is the curriculum itself. It’s God’s manual for how to live, think, love, work, learn, and lead. Whether you’re teaching a child how to read or guiding a teen through life’s big questions, Scripture gives us the blueprint.

    “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness…” —2 Timothy 3:16–17

    From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible speaks to every stage of life. It reveals the heart of God, the nature of humanity, the purpose of education, and the call to holiness.

    This is why our vision includes not just Bible-based resources for kids, but also devotionals, studies, and discipleship content for adults. God’s Word grows with us—it teaches children, it sanctifies adults, and it transforms families.

    Why Both Kids and Adults Need to Grow in Christ

    We live in a world that champions personal success and self-reliance—but the Kingdom of God calls us to know Christ and make Him known. For children, that means forming a biblical worldview early—learning to see math, science, history, and art through the lens of the Creator.

    For adults, it means going deeper: shedding worldly thinking and embracing spiritual maturity.

    “Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ.” —Ephesians 4:15

    Too often, Christian education stops at childhood—but God never stops discipling His people. We are all students in the school of Christ, and Christ Schooling seeks to cultivate that mindset in every home.

    Homeschooling as Discipleship

    At the heart of Christ-centered homeschooling is discipleship. God did not leave the responsibility of raising godly children to schools, governments, or institutions. He placed it in the hands of parents.

    “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road…” —Deuteronomy 6:6–7

    Christ Schooling exists to empower parents to fulfill this call—to teach not only ABCs and 123s, but also love, truth, grace, obedience, humility, and faith. And as parents disciple their children, they themselves grow as disciples.

    A Day in the Life of a Christ-Centered Family

    Imagine a homeschool day where learning starts with prayer, where math is taught through biblical principles of order and design, where history is viewed through the lens of God’s sovereignty, and where science marvels at the intricacies of creation.

    Picture Bible study not just as a subject, but as a daily family habit, where hearts are softened, questions are welcomed, and God’s truth becomes the compass for every decision. In this home, mistakes become lessons in grace, successes become moments of worship, and every part of the day points back to Christ.

    This is not idealism—it’s intentionality. It’s what happens when Christ is not just added to education, but made its very core.

    Biblical Role Models in Learning and Faith

    Throughout Scripture, we see examples of individuals who were taught the ways of God from a young age—and the lasting impact it had.

    • Timothy, raised in the Scriptures by his mother and grandmother (2 Timothy 1:5; 3:15), became a powerful young leader in the early church.
    • Samuel, dedicated to God from childhood, heard His voice and became a prophet who led Israel with integrity (1 Samuel 3).
    • Daniel, trained in Babylon but grounded in his faith, influenced empires while remaining loyal to God’s Word (Daniel 1–6).

    These lives were not just shaped by education, but by a God-centered upbringing. And this is what Christ Schooling aims to support in homes around the world.

    What Christ Schooling Will Offer

    Over the coming months and years, ChristSchooling.com will grow to include:

    • Bible curriculum for kids that integrates Scripture into every subject
    • Devotionals and Bible studies for parents and adults
    • Christ-centered homeschooling guides for new and seasoned families
    • Character-building resources based on biblical principles
    • Interactive content that engages children in faith, creativity, and critical thinking
    • Opportunities for community, support, and prayer among Christian homeschooling families

    We’re starting with daily blogs to lay the foundation—but every word is a step toward a God-given vision.

    An Invitation to Walk With Us

    If you are a Christian parent in the USA, UK, Australia, Europe—or anywhere in the world—who longs to raise your children to know and love Jesus… you’re not alone. This journey is not always easy, but it is eternally significant.

    We invite you to walk with us, learn with us, and grow in Christ alongside your family. Over the next 90 days, we’ll be writing daily reflections, teachings, and encouragements to build up a library of truth and grace—content that we pray will bring clarity and direction to many.

    Trusting God with the Vision

    As we begin this ministry, we lean not on our own understanding, but on the leading of the Holy Spirit. We believe God is raising up families to be bold, rooted, and joyful in their faith. Christ Schooling is simply a tool to equip them.

    “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” —Psalm 119:105

    Let us treasure the Bible not just as a book, but as our living manual. Let us raise children who know God’s voice, and become adults who live to serve Him. Let every homeschool become holy ground, where the presence of Christ transforms ordinary days into eternal impact.

    Together, let us build homes where learning leads to loving Jesus more deeply.

  • Homeschooling as a Ministry, Not Just Education

    Homeschooling as a Ministry, Not Just Education

    In today’s fast-paced, performance-driven world, homeschooling is often perceived as just another educational choice—an alternative to public or private school, a means to academic excellence or freedom from the system.

    But for Christian families, homeschooling is far more than a curriculum decision or a schedule preference. It is ministry. It is mission. It is holy ground.

    When we view homeschooling only through the lens of academics, we miss its greater purpose: to glorify God through the discipleship and formation of the next generation.

    As parents, we are not merely tutors or facilitators—we are shepherds of hearts, builders of character, and partners with God in raising children for His Kingdom.

    Let’s explore why homeschooling, for the Christian parent, is truly a ministry, and how God uses this journey to transform not just our children—but us, too.

    A Sacred Calling Within the Home

    “And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children…”
    — Deuteronomy 6:6–7

    “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
    — Proverbs 22:6

    Scripture leaves no doubt: the primary responsibility for teaching and discipling children lies with parents. In the home, not just the church or school, God has appointed mothers and fathers to be the first and most influential voices in a child’s life.

    This isn’t merely about reading, writing, or arithmetic—it’s about passing down a living faith. God doesn’t just call us to educate our children academically, but to form them spiritually, guiding their minds and shaping their hearts in the way of the Lord.

    When you say “yes” to homeschooling, you are saying “yes” to a divine assignment—one that requires love, patience, endurance, and deep dependence on God.

    It is a calling as sacred as pastoring a church or preaching a sermon, because your home becomes a sanctuary, your kitchen table an altar, and every lesson a seed planted for eternity.

    Discipleship Through Daily Life

    “Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
    — Deuteronomy 6:7 (NIV)

    In homeschooling, discipleship doesn’t just happen during “Bible class.” It happens when you pause to pray before a math lesson. When a disagreement between siblings turns into a conversation about forgiveness. When a science project sparks awe at God’s creativity. When tears during reading time lead to a moment of grace and reassurance.

    Every moment becomes an opportunity to disciple our children—to help them understand the world through the lens of Scripture and the heart of Jesus.

    Jesus discipled His followers through daily life—through conversations, meals, and moments on the road. In the same way, homeschooling parents are uniquely positioned to walk with their children through every season, every struggle, and every question, pointing them always back to God.

    Modeling Faith in Action

    “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”
    — 1 Corinthians 11:1

    Children don’t just learn from what we say—they learn from what we do. In homeschooling, we have the priceless opportunity to model a living, breathing faith in front of our children every single day.

    When we stop to pray in the middle of a difficult day, they see us lean on God.
    When we ask forgiveness after losing our patience, they see humility and grace.
    When we worship together, read Scripture aloud, or serve others as a family, they see faith in action.

    The Apostle Paul said, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” As homeschooling parents, our lives become living letters—daily testimonies of God’s grace at work.

    Even in our weakness and failures, we model something powerful: a dependence on God that points our children to the One who is perfect, faithful, and strong.

    Creating a Christ-Centered Culture

    “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly… teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom.”
    — Colossians 3:16

    Homeschooling offers Christian families the unique ability to shape the culture of the home—to set the atmosphere and priorities around God’s Word, worship, and values.

    Instead of competing with worldly noise and agendas, we can create rhythms of prayer, joy, peace, service, and Scripture. Our homes can reflect the heart of heaven, filled with grace and truth.

    Consider Samuel. His mother Hannah dedicated him to the Lord from the beginning (1 Samuel 1). Though he served in the temple, it was her spiritual vision that marked him.

    Timothy, likewise, was raised in the Scriptures by his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois (2 Timothy 1:5)—their faith formed the foundation for his ministry.

    These young men were not shaped by institutions but by the faith of their homes. The same can be true for our children when our homes are centered on Christ.

    Raising Kingdom Workers

    “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.”
    — Matthew 9:37

    Homeschooling is not about keeping our children in a bubble—it’s about equipping them for the battlefield. Our ultimate goal is not just well-educated children, but Kingdom-minded disciples who know God’s Word, hear His voice, and walk in His purpose.

    When we homeschool with eternity in view, we raise children who are not just academically prepared but spiritually grounded, courageous in their convictions, and willing to stand for truth in a confused world.

    Our homeschooling efforts are not just about preparing them for college or careers—they are about preparing them to be witnesses, leaders, missionaries, teachers, and disciple-makers wherever God places them.

    Dependence on God’s Grace

    “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”— 2 Corinthians 12:9

    Let’s be honest—homeschooling is hard. It requires sacrifice, perseverance, and constant surrender. There are days when the math doesn’t make sense, the house is a mess, and hearts are weary.

    But this is where God meets us—not in our strength, but in our dependence on Him.

    He doesn’t call us to homeschool because we have all the answers, but because He wants to meet us there, to mold us, strengthen us, and show Himself faithful.

    Every challenge is an invitation to draw closer to God, to lean into His wisdom, and to trust that He is building something beautiful in our homes—one lesson, one prayer, one act of obedience at a time.

    Holy Ground: A Final Encouragement

    Homeschooling is not just about what our children learn—but who they become. It’s not just about academics—it’s about eternity.

    Dear parent, when you choose to homeschool with Christ at the center, you are engaging in ministry of the highest kind. You are sowing seeds that will bear fruit in generations to come. You are shaping arrows that will be sent into the world for God’s glory (Psalm 127:4).

    So on the hard days, remember: you are doing holy work. This isn’t just a classroom—it’s a mission field. And your faithfulness will echo beyond the walls of your home into eternity.

    “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” — Colossians 3:23

    Embrace your homeschool as sacred ground, where hearts are formed, minds are renewed, and God’s purposes unfold. You are not alone—God walks with you, and His grace is more than enough.
