I put together the Fresh Fire Facebook Challenge for you, Reader, because homeschooling isn't just about the students. It's about the parents (mostly moms) who teach them. It's an axiom in education that you can only effectively teach a subject once you know it thoroughly yourself. But what if no one ever gave you a biblical foundation for learning when you were in school? Can you still impart it to your child? Attaining a biblical education isn't a matter of teaching facts and dates and Bible beliefs. Rather, it's about developing the whole person in a Holy Spirit-led way. If you do this for yourself first, you'll be equipped to do it for your child. We'll start off each day of the challenge (January 29, 30, and 31) with a video discussion that will help you... Instill God’s purpose for education deep into your soul
Involve your whole self in learning
Become a more effective image bearer of God to the world
Also - I’m offering a special gift at the end for those who complete all three days of the challenge. To complete the challenge and receive your FREE gift: ❶ Register to download the Fresh Fire Challenge Journal and get the daily video links sent to your inbox ❷ Tune in for each day’s Facebook live video (released between 9:00 am and noon CST) ❸ Drop your 1+1+1 takeaway in the comments The 1+1+1 takeaway is a simple, actionable tip you can use with your students as well. I'm excited for you to practice it during the three days of the challenge. Sharon P.S. Don't forget to RSVP for the Facebook event to get instant notifications when the videos go live.
