Feeling overwhelmed by homeschooling? You're not alone. In this heartfelt conversation, host Delise Germond sits down with Kamilah Carter for an honest discussion about the challenges of homeschool motherhood—and the God who equips us for every moment. Kamilah opens up about a recent crisis that left her feeling helpless, sharing how she learned to lean on community, trust God in the fire, and recognize her daily need for grace.

Together, they explore:

• Why the gap between our expectations and reality can leave us feeling like we're drowning
• The importance of Christian community in our homeschool journey
• How God uses our children to refine us and reveal our need for Him
• Practical wisdom about understanding our children's developmental stages
• The truth that God has fully equipped us through His Word for every good work

This isn't a conversation full of Pinterest-perfect advice or organizational hacks. Instead, it's a raw, encouraging reminder that homeschooling is a spiritual journey that requires us to return to the cross again and again—and that's exactly where God meets us.

What if the best thing you could do for your child's education today is to send them outside?
