Reader, I thought I'd answer a few FAQs in case you're still on the fence about registering for the Detox the Leaven bundle. "Is the bundle really free?"Yes! You get over $377 worth of digital resources with a free pass, as long as you sign up by midnight, Friday, March 21. "What's the VIP pass?"For just $9, you get a premium tier of resources beyond the basic free pass. This includes over $400 worth of content on self-sufficient, sustainable living from a homesteading expert and a holistic transformation art course worth over $400. (After March 21, the price to upgrade to VIP doubles.) "We're secular (or our faith is not Jewish or Christian). Can we use this bundle?"Yes, you can! It's a great opportunity for cross-cultural learning as you discover what this 3,500-year-old holiday means through the eyes of people who observe it in the modern day. The homeschool printables can be combined into a mini unit study exposing your children to different religious and cultural perspectives on the Passover holiday (Jewish and Christian 🕎✡️✝️ ). A sample Passover seder (script for celebrating the Passover family meal with prayers and symbolic traditional foods) is included. "We're Christian, but don't keep Passover. Is this bundle for us?"Of course! Passover season isn't just about eating unleavened bread. It's about cleansing our hearts. "Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth" (1 Corinthians 5:8). If you're curious about the biblical Feasts and want to give them a try in 2025, this bundle is a perfect introduction to Passover, with lots of kid-friendly activities. "We're Jewish. Does this bundle contain Jesus content?"It does. However, this doesn't mean the bundle is not for you! I curated these resources to help you "detox the leaven" from multiple areas of your life, including emotions, parenting, physical health, and lifestyle. You can gloss over any content that doesn't fit your family's needs. "What's the greatest transformation I can expect to get from this bundle?"The only person who can answer this one is you. It depends on what area of your life you feel is in greatest need of a detox in 2025. For me, the greatest transformation has come through recording the Detox the Leaven podcast (you can listen to the first few episodes in the Facebook group before they're tucked away in the bundle library). You'll hear me talk honestly about my own struggles there. Sharon P.S. The option to get the free basic pass or the VIP pass at launch price ($9) really does end tonight, Reader. VIP will continue to be available next week (at increased price), but the free pass likely won't return. Grab it now and you'll have time to upgrade later.
