🛑Home School - the 411 & sample lists *

Curriculum Reviews, Sample book lists, and some stuff on conventions 

We use a variety of curriculum. There are so many things available. Cathy Duffy Reviews is a good place to get an idea of some things available. I suggest looking into homeschool styles first. Then look at curriculum that falls into the styles you like. 

There are, quite literally, HUNDREDS of options. The image in this post is of a homeschool convention hall. (Not all of these options are likely overtly Christian, but a LOT of them are.)

How to intentionally probe someone's salvation in conversation (or have a gospel convo) ⭐️

Here's some helps to guide a Gospel convo with someone, based on who they are. Tips to begin:  1. Be prepared in advance to have a conversation.  - Try to have an idea some faq/objections they likely will ask you, and have answers ready or at least know where to look up those answers. (Below has helpful links).  -Know the Gospel and how to explain it, having a plan for walking them thru it. (Also linked below). 2.
