Today’s conversation is with Gena Suarez, founder of The Old Schoolhouse magazine. Gena shares the story of her own family’s homeschooling journey, insights on how the homeschool landscape has changed, and thoughts on the importance of discipleship – not just academics – in the home education model.

Paul and Gena Suarez reside in eastern Tennessee with their family and have homeschooled their seven children since 1990. They embrace and promote the Biblical philosophy that “homeschooling” is not so much about schooling and education as it is about discipleship – bringing up our children “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4). The Suarez family wishes to share this vision around the world as they publish the trade magazine for homeschool families, The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine. They can be reached at publisher@theoldschoolhouse.com.

In this episode, Kevin Sorbo joins me to discuss the challenges of being a Christian father in a culture that is increasingly departing from the Biblical model of fatherhood. Drawing from his own experiences and Scriptural principles, Kevin shares insights on taking courageous stands and equipping our families to be bold in their faith in this God-hating world. Fathers, come and be inspired and encouraged to lead your families with strength and Godliness!

Famous for his work as the titular character on the number-one worldwide hit TV series, “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,” Kevin always strove to bring hopeful messages and meaningful entertainment to all. After Hollywood’s wokeness spread wide, he forged his own path. Already a successful actor, director, and producer, he founded Sorbo Studios to breathe traditional values and uplifting content back into the fabric of American culture. As an author, producer, and mentor, Kevin is dedicated to creating stories that inspire and nurture the soul. Kevin is happily married to his bride of over 25 years, Sam Sorbo, and they have three nearly-grown children whom they homeschooled.
