SR 897: Teaching Bible: Connecting the Old and New Testaments – Kim Sorgius Jones, Part 3 (Homeschooling Every Subject)

1
00:00:00,200 –> 00:00:03,953
So really, really important that your kids are getting to study the Bible

2
00:00:04,009 –> 00:00:07,737
on their level. Yeah. And then you

3
00:00:07,761 –> 00:00:11,249
can reserve the together part of it for a more

4
00:00:11,297 –> 00:00:14,985
practical discussion. And the best analogy I can give for this

5
00:00:15,025 –> 00:00:18,665
is literally like a ladies Bible study. You’re going to get something totally

6
00:00:18,705 –> 00:00:22,281
different out of the discussion than you did out of the actual study.

7
00:00:22,393 –> 00:00:26,225
And they go together to make this beautiful thing. And

8
00:00:26,265 –> 00:00:28,905
so that’s really what we want in our homes.

9
00:00:30,005 –> 00:00:33,725
Hey, everyone, this is Yvette Hampton. Welcome back to the Schoolhouse Rocked

10
00:00:33,765 –> 00:00:37,453
Podcast. I am back with Kim Sorgius Jones. Which, by the

11
00:00:37,469 –> 00:00:40,789
way, I remember the very first time, years ago when I first met you, I

12
00:00:40,797 –> 00:00:43,717
was like, how do you say your last name? And you said “Sorgius. It rhymes

13
00:00:43,741 –> 00:00:47,477
with gorgeous.” And I was like, okay, so I’ve always remembered it

14
00:00:47,501 –> 00:00:51,333
that way. And now you’ve got Jones at the end. I love that. Kim Sorgius

15
00:00:51,389 –> 00:00:55,147
Jones, she is from the Not Consumed ministry. And in,

16
00:00:55,261 –> 00:00:58,639
just so you guys know, she has an incredible team. Like it’s not just

17
00:00:58,687 –> 00:01:02,383
Kim. She has. Do you, do you know how many are on your team? You

18
00:01:02,399 –> 00:01:05,155
have a lot. We have a lot.

19
00:01:06,175 –> 00:01:09,991
I want to say we’re like in the four, somewhere in the 40 people

20
00:01:10,063 –> 00:01:13,511
range now, including our shipping team, you know,

21
00:01:13,543 –> 00:01:16,839
the guys and gals that get everything out and.

22
00:01:16,927 –> 00:01:20,487
Yeah, all the way down to illustrators and photographers and all

23
00:01:20,511 –> 00:01:24,237
that. Incredible. That’s absolutely. It’s so cool to see how the

24
00:01:24,261 –> 00:01:27,909
Lord brought you. We were talking about his faithfulness and how he brought you from,

25
00:01:28,077 –> 00:01:31,677
you know, food stamps to calling you to

26
00:01:31,701 –> 00:01:35,413
this ministry that he’s then gone on to bring

27
00:01:35,469 –> 00:01:39,101
others into this ministry with you. And you guys go out and you are

28
00:01:39,133 –> 00:01:42,917
having a huge impact in the lives of homeschoolers and

29
00:01:42,941 –> 00:01:46,661
non homeschoolers. I mean, just teaching people how to study the word of God.

30
00:01:46,693 –> 00:01:50,215
And so I’m so grateful for what God is doing through you, through your

31
00:01:50,255 –> 00:01:53,623
ministry, through your team. You guys are amazing. So, so we’re going to talk more

32
00:01:53,639 –> 00:01:56,927
about Bible study today. But before we do, I want to say thank you again

42
00:02:26,631 –> 00:02:30,275
Well, Kim,

43
00:02:30,935 –> 00:02:34,735
I am excited to be talking about this. I feel like we could talk about

44
00:02:34,775 –> 00:02:38,551
Bible study forever and ever. But we’ve talked,

45
00:02:38,583 –> 00:02:42,071
of course, about thepurpose of Bible study, that Bible reading is not the same as

46
00:02:42,103 –> 00:02:45,855
Bible study. We’ve talked about the purpose of Bible study

47
00:02:45,895 –> 00:02:49,515
and it’s the number one reason is to know God better.

48
00:02:50,055 –> 00:02:53,351
That’s it. Like, we just get to know God better by spending time with him,

49
00:02:53,383 –> 00:02:57,015
building a relationship with him, understanding his character, understanding his

50
00:02:57,055 –> 00:03:00,823
attributes. That’s how we know God better. And that’s how we get through

51
00:03:00,919 –> 00:03:04,607
the good times and the bad times of our life. Because everybody has them. No

52
00:03:04,631 –> 00:03:08,215
matter who you are, where you live, we all go through

53
00:03:08,295 –> 00:03:11,937
difficult things. And so we need to know the word of

54
00:03:11,961 –> 00:03:15,721
God. I have had times in my life where it feels

55
00:03:15,753 –> 00:03:19,321
like the burden is so heavy that it’s hard to even pick up my

56
00:03:19,353 –> 00:03:22,961
Bible. I don’t know if you felt like that, Kim, when you were going through

57
00:03:22,993 –> 00:03:26,633
tough times, but it’s the thing I need the most. And it’s the thing. It’s

58
00:03:26,649 –> 00:03:30,417
not because I don’t want to. It’s just because my mind is so heavy with

59
00:03:30,521 –> 00:03:34,105
whatever is going on that I’m like, oh, it just. It’s hard. It almost

60
00:03:34,145 –> 00:03:37,891
hurts to pick it up and read it. But those are the times where

61
00:03:37,963 –> 00:03:41,455
because of our Bible study, because we know God, we can

62
00:03:41,835 –> 00:03:44,651
pick it up, we can study it, we can read it, because his word does

63
00:03:44,683 –> 00:03:48,475
not return void. And then we talked about, you offer

64
00:03:48,555 –> 00:03:52,123
a free Bible study and in that you talk about

65
00:03:52,219 –> 00:03:55,283
specifically how to study the Bible together

66
00:03:55,379 –> 00:03:59,187
successfully as a family. So let’s walk through that. Because of course, the

67
00:03:59,211 –> 00:04:02,043
series that we’re in is how to teach all the subjects. And so I want

68
00:04:02,059 –> 00:04:05,665
to really get deep into that today of how we can successfully

69
00:04:05,745 –> 00:04:09,593
study the Bible together. So maybe kind of take us through. I

70
00:04:09,609 –> 00:04:12,801
don’t know if you want to start with like the itty bitty kiddos and move

71
00:04:12,833 –> 00:04:15,681
all the way up to the teen years. What is the best way to talk

72
00:04:15,713 –> 00:04:19,113
through this? Yeah, so we will, we’ll start. We’ll start young.

73
00:04:19,209 –> 00:04:22,993
Okay. And then work. Work our way up. But the premise that you

74
00:04:23,009 –> 00:04:26,737
need to understand is, in case you didn’t hear

75
00:04:26,761 –> 00:04:30,441
the other other episodes, which you should go back and listen to, but everybody

76
00:04:30,473 –> 00:04:33,865
needs to learn on their level. It’s really really important that your kids are

77
00:04:33,905 –> 00:04:37,153
getting to study the Bible on their level.

78
00:04:37,289 –> 00:04:41,033
Yeah. And then you can reserve that

79
00:04:41,089 –> 00:04:44,185
together part of it for a more practical

80
00:04:44,265 –> 00:04:48,081
discussion. And the best analogy I can give for this is literally

81
00:04:48,153 –> 00:04:51,905
like a ladies Bible study. Probably participated in one of those.

82
00:04:52,025 –> 00:04:55,685
And you, you do your homework and you get your, your

83
00:04:56,005 –> 00:04:59,701
studying done and then you come together and you talk about it.

84
00:04:59,733 –> 00:05:03,549
And if you didn’t do your homework, you’re not really getting much out of the

85
00:05:03,597 –> 00:05:07,317
discussion and you certainly can’t contribute. Right. But if

86
00:05:07,341 –> 00:05:11,101
you do, it’s much better. But regardless, you’re going to get

87
00:05:11,133 –> 00:05:14,893
something totally different out of the discussion than you did out of the actual

88
00:05:14,949 –> 00:05:18,597
setting. And they go together to make this beautiful

89
00:05:18,661 –> 00:05:22,437
thing. And so that’s really what we want in our homes. We

90
00:05:22,461 –> 00:05:26,277
want our kids to be, if they’re old enough in the word. So let’s

91
00:05:26,301 –> 00:05:29,421
talk about the kids who aren’t first. Okay. So in

92
00:05:29,533 –> 00:05:33,189
our terminology, those kids start with pre

93
00:05:33,237 –> 00:05:36,905
K. And I’m showing you the Making Lemonade Bible study

94
00:05:37,725 –> 00:05:41,485
because it is one of my favorites. It’s a part of the

95
00:05:41,525 –> 00:05:44,893
series that’s about, you know, when life gets hard.

96
00:05:45,069 –> 00:05:47,905
And it’s the saying, the exact saying that you

97
00:05:48,635 –> 00:05:52,035
would think of when life hands you lemons, you would.

98
00:05:52,115 –> 00:05:55,707
Lemonade. Lemonade. Right. And that’s the

99
00:05:55,731 –> 00:05:59,379
premise of this book. We start talking about how, you know, life is going to

100
00:05:59,387 –> 00:06:02,655
hand you a lot of lemons actually. And

101
00:06:03,475 –> 00:06:07,227
in order to make the lemonade, you have to stir in

102
00:06:07,371 –> 00:06:10,931
to that situation joy and you get

103
00:06:10,963 –> 00:06:14,467
joy from Christ. So that’s kind of what this Bible study is all

104
00:06:14,491 –> 00:06:18,309
about. And when we’re in the pre K age, which is

105
00:06:18,357 –> 00:06:21,785
really, you know, three, four,

106
00:06:22,325 –> 00:06:25,949
somewhere in that range, what they get to do

107
00:06:26,117 –> 00:06:29,941
is they read a little bit. We recommend

108
00:06:30,053 –> 00:06:33,861
actually that you do this with your child

109
00:06:33,933 –> 00:06:36,585
who is under the age of

110
00:06:37,765 –> 00:06:40,745
seven or so and

111
00:06:41,405 –> 00:06:45,077
you read the primary version. So the primary version, it’s

112
00:06:45,101 –> 00:06:48,877
written for kids five to seven. But you see there’s. I

113
00:06:48,901 –> 00:06:51,705
know some of you aren’t seeing, but there’s much more

114
00:06:52,725 –> 00:06:56,109
reading here than is in the pre K version. The pre K

115
00:06:56,157 –> 00:06:59,917
version is a little bit of a sing song rhyme. Right. And

116
00:06:59,981 –> 00:07:03,421
so ideally you read this to all of your kids

117
00:07:03,493 –> 00:07:07,207
together who are not old enough to read for themselves. This is

118
00:07:07,231 –> 00:07:10,155
the only time I want parents to read

119
00:07:10,935 –> 00:07:14,079
this to them. And it’s because they can’t read themselves. If they can’t read themselves,

120
00:07:14,247 –> 00:07:17,991
there’s no way they can get the richer stuff. Right. Right. So at this,

121
00:07:18,063 –> 00:07:21,455
this stage of the game they’re, you’re going to read it to them and then

122
00:07:21,495 –> 00:07:25,151
they’re going to respond. They’re going to respond verbally to some of the

123
00:07:25,183 –> 00:07:28,751
questions. As you are getting into the Word,

124
00:07:28,863 –> 00:07:32,087
people often say, why don’t you just print the scripture in here? Well, then you’re

125
00:07:32,111 –> 00:07:35,847
not reading the Bible, you’re reading my words. And I don’t want you

126
00:07:35,871 –> 00:07:38,843
to do that. So you’re going to need a Bible. You’re going to open it

127
00:07:38,859 –> 00:07:41,891
up and you’re going to help. The kids are going to go to that passage

128
00:07:41,923 –> 00:07:45,579
and you’re going to help them find it and you’re going to the words, right?

129
00:07:45,707 –> 00:07:49,211
And then they’re going, you’re going to read it and then you’re going to answer

130
00:07:49,243 –> 00:07:52,707
the question from the scripture, which is what? What we’re getting out of

131
00:07:52,731 –> 00:07:56,451
here. When you do one of our Bible studies, when you’re

132
00:07:56,483 –> 00:07:59,995
looking for the right kind of Bible study to do, you’re looking for one that’s

133
00:08:00,035 –> 00:08:03,795
going to base the truth off of what you just read in the Bible

134
00:08:03,875 –> 00:08:07,537
and it’s giving you that as the meat of what

135
00:08:07,561 –> 00:08:10,969
you’re learning and not necessarily other words that you’ll find in here.

136
00:08:11,137 –> 00:08:14,817
So that’s kind of how the young kids work. They’ll get to kind of

137
00:08:14,881 –> 00:08:18,473
either draw or they’ll get to, you know, this one, they’re putting some stickers

138
00:08:18,529 –> 00:08:22,153
on. They’ll get to respond in some way both verbally

139
00:08:22,249 –> 00:08:25,929
and then, you know, physically drawing to what you’re reading

140
00:08:26,057 –> 00:08:29,817
and you’ll do, you know, this with them. Yeah. Once they’re

141
00:08:29,841 –> 00:08:33,329
old enough to read. Now, I don’t mean read Bob books because that’s

142
00:08:33,377 –> 00:08:37,213
not quite there. And it’s okay. It doesn’t matter when that

143
00:08:37,229 –> 00:08:40,966
is. The average age for learning how to read is 8.

144
00:08:41,041 –> 00:08:44,749
So there’s no shame in it being 8, 9, 10,

145
00:08:44,837 –> 00:08:48,349
whatever, whatever it takes for your child to be able to read

146
00:08:48,477 –> 00:08:52,253
some parts of the Bible themselves, then you move up to

147
00:08:52,269 –> 00:08:55,669
the junior age level. Now this is where I really want kids

148
00:08:55,797 –> 00:08:59,501
to read the Bible themselves because

149
00:08:59,693 –> 00:09:02,173
we’re not giving them a lot to read. We’re going to give them like one

150
00:09:02,189 –> 00:09:05,935
or two verses to read. So we’re not, we’re not going to over,

151
00:09:06,515 –> 00:09:10,171
you know, whelm them or anything like that. We’re going to give them short little

152
00:09:10,203 –> 00:09:13,779
bits of paragraphs. We’re going to give them little, just a little bit of line

153
00:09:13,827 –> 00:09:17,355
to write their answers. But basically what we are doing is

154
00:09:17,395 –> 00:09:20,851
we’re setting them up for. Here’s how you study

155
00:09:21,003 –> 00:09:24,763
The Word. We’re going to look in the passage, we’re going to find our answer.

156
00:09:24,899 –> 00:09:28,635
You know, we’re going to process those things and think through them

157
00:09:28,795 –> 00:09:32,121
and respond in a way to that.

158
00:09:32,203 –> 00:09:35,557
So that’s what you would start doing any child

159
00:09:35,661 –> 00:09:39,461
over, you know, once they start learning how to read. So if they’re

160
00:09:39,493 –> 00:09:43,261
in the teen years, there’s a youth version as well. And

161
00:09:43,333 –> 00:09:47,157
it’s basically the same. This is

162
00:09:47,181 –> 00:09:50,285
a question we get a lot. Why are they learning the same thing? Well, that’s

163
00:09:50,325 –> 00:09:53,665
the idea, right? We want them to learn on their level,

164
00:09:54,565 –> 00:09:58,266
you know, the same topic. Day 10, God is faithful. Everybody on

165
00:09:58,339 –> 00:10:01,949
day 10 is learning God is faithful. They’re just learning it

166
00:10:02,077 –> 00:10:05,855
in their own way, right? The key truth is going to be the

167
00:10:05,895 –> 00:10:09,495
exact same key truth even down into pre

168
00:10:09,535 –> 00:10:13,079
K. And that key truth for day 10 is God

169
00:10:13,247 –> 00:10:16,847
will always do what he promised, right? So we want

170
00:10:16,871 –> 00:10:20,423
to, we’re going to come out of this with every kid, mama sitting at the

171
00:10:20,439 –> 00:10:24,191
table, working with little ones. We’ve got older kids, you know, that are. Can

172
00:10:24,223 –> 00:10:27,839
read. They’re working on their own. And we’re all going to come back together. We

173
00:10:27,887 –> 00:10:31,587
all learned that God, we’ll do what he promised, right? We

174
00:10:31,611 –> 00:10:35,371
all know that from our study. And that helps

175
00:10:35,403 –> 00:10:38,691
us to be able to have a good conversation about what, you know, whatever we

176
00:10:38,843 –> 00:10:42,019
learned throughout here. So again, youth,

177
00:10:42,187 –> 00:10:45,971
the differences are, the questions are going to be a little bit deeper. Now.

178
00:10:46,003 –> 00:10:49,363
We’re actually, we’re going to ask them to do harder things in the Bible. We’re

179
00:10:49,379 –> 00:10:52,535
going to ask them to put together things

180
00:10:52,835 –> 00:10:56,539
and not necessarily just what’s playing

181
00:10:56,627 –> 00:11:00,107
out written on the paper. We might ask them to look up something in a

182
00:11:00,131 –> 00:11:03,939
concordance or, you know, something like that. And then of course,

183
00:11:04,067 –> 00:11:07,867
they have bigger spaces to respond, more, longer

184
00:11:07,931 –> 00:11:11,615
responses because they’re a little bit deeper. That’s all that changes.

185
00:11:11,915 –> 00:11:15,683
Then we have a parent guide. Now people always ask, well, why would, why do

186
00:11:15,699 –> 00:11:19,227
you buy a parent guide? Well, if you have little ones that you’re reading

187
00:11:19,331 –> 00:11:22,971
to, you don’t need to do that, right? Because you wouldn’t need it

188
00:11:23,083 –> 00:11:26,451
because you’re reading out out loud to them. But if you have students who are

189
00:11:26,483 –> 00:11:30,323
working on their own, you don’t know what they’re reading, right? And you can’t have

190
00:11:30,339 –> 00:11:33,579
a good discussion if you don’t know what they’re reading, right? So you’re going to

191
00:11:33,587 –> 00:11:37,395
get the parent guide and then the parent guide. Guess what? We’re learning on day

192
00:11:37,435 –> 00:11:41,171
10. Same thing, God is faithful. You

193
00:11:41,203 –> 00:11:45,019
get to do your own study. So you’re studying

194
00:11:45,067 –> 00:11:48,837
just like the students are doing. But then at the bottom you

195
00:11:48,861 –> 00:11:52,685
get the scripture that everybody got in every age level.

196
00:11:52,725 –> 00:11:56,541
There’s at least one key passage. There’s a key truth

197
00:11:56,653 –> 00:11:59,465
which we already talked about. God

198
00:12:00,245 –> 00:12:03,709
will always do what he promised. That’s what it was. Yeah, I already forgot

199
00:12:03,757 –> 00:12:07,293
that. And we even give you a couple of discussion

200
00:12:07,349 –> 00:12:11,005
questions. So when you

201
00:12:11,045 –> 00:12:14,751
come together, whether you’ve been working with Littles or doing your

202
00:12:14,783 –> 00:12:18,583
own study, when you bring together those kids who have been doing it on

203
00:12:18,599 –> 00:12:22,255
their own, then you come together and you start, you can have

204
00:12:22,295 –> 00:12:25,839
a discussion. And I will tell you, if you’ve ever sat together with

205
00:12:25,887 –> 00:12:29,567
teenagers or even like kids that are 10 and

206
00:12:29,591 –> 00:12:33,351
up and you’ve tried to get them to answer questions and you feel

207
00:12:33,383 –> 00:12:36,871
like it’s pulling teeth. Yeah, this will change that. Because

208
00:12:36,943 –> 00:12:40,625
they’ve already done the work, they’ve sat down. They have

209
00:12:40,775 –> 00:12:44,461
process this themselves. They’re not going to share every little detail with

210
00:12:44,493 –> 00:12:47,385
you. Still probably those shy ones that

211
00:12:48,045 –> 00:12:51,581
don’t tell all, they’re probably still not going to share those things. But they did

212
00:12:51,613 –> 00:12:55,461
write it down and they will share more because they’ve already processed it and

213
00:12:55,493 –> 00:12:59,293
now they can be a part of the discussion. Right. This is also a

214
00:12:59,309 –> 00:13:02,573
great time for them to say, well, I didn’t really know what that

215
00:13:02,629 –> 00:13:05,963
meant. And you know, you can

216
00:13:06,109 –> 00:13:09,767
talk through what does that mean? And we get, we have

217
00:13:09,791 –> 00:13:13,555
little parent boxes in all of our studies

218
00:13:13,895 –> 00:13:17,647
in the parent, in the parent version that kind of addresses

219
00:13:17,671 –> 00:13:21,439
some of those things that we think kids might trip up on or,

220
00:13:21,607 –> 00:13:25,111
you know, this is a good time to talk about, you know, such and such

221
00:13:25,143 –> 00:13:28,599
an issue or whatever. Yeah. So we kind of give you, give you some

222
00:13:28,647 –> 00:13:32,405
ideas of some things that might come up in

223
00:13:32,525 –> 00:13:35,941
this particular day’s study. Sometimes we have to study hard

224
00:13:36,013 –> 00:13:39,541
passages that are uncomfortable for us

225
00:13:39,613 –> 00:13:43,173
parents. And so, you know, we kind of try to give you some tools to

226
00:13:43,189 –> 00:13:46,749
end your discussion to make it a little bit better. But you will find if

227
00:13:46,757 –> 00:13:50,541
you send your kids off to study and then you bring

228
00:13:50,573 –> 00:13:54,285
them back, first of all, you’re teaching them study skills. You’re expecting

229
00:13:54,325 –> 00:13:57,925
them to do it. So you’re helping them build that consistency in that

230
00:13:57,965 –> 00:14:01,607
habit. But then you’re also still pouring

231
00:14:01,671 –> 00:14:05,359
into them all that you need to. But even better, because

232
00:14:05,447 –> 00:14:09,207
they really get to learn something first. You know,

233
00:14:09,231 –> 00:14:12,767
they’re really. I’m. Sometimes my kids will totally leave things blank cause they didn’t know

234
00:14:12,791 –> 00:14:16,335
what to put, they didn’t have an answer or whatever. And when we come to

235
00:14:16,375 –> 00:14:20,007
discussion, they start to get it and they’re like, oh, yeah, I have something I

236
00:14:20,031 –> 00:14:23,511
can write there. And then they fill it out. So that

237
00:14:23,583 –> 00:14:27,427
is what I have found to be one of the best ways to

238
00:14:27,491 –> 00:14:31,195
sit all together. Like, I developed all of this out of what was working

239
00:14:31,235 –> 00:14:34,947
in our house and how it was working better for my kids as

240
00:14:34,971 –> 00:14:38,731
they’re trying to learn and get

241
00:14:38,763 –> 00:14:42,307
the truth and also process the information. Because

242
00:14:42,371 –> 00:14:45,659
sometimes we just learn it and it’s just

243
00:14:45,747 –> 00:14:49,307
regurgitated information and it’s not actually processed. Right.

244
00:14:49,371 –> 00:14:52,629
And sometimes it’s not. You know, the Bible is not necessarily all about, how can

245
00:14:52,637 –> 00:14:56,429
I apply this to my life. Sure. It’s really all about God. Right,

246
00:14:56,477 –> 00:14:59,733
right. That we. We don’t necessarily want to look at every piece of scripture and

247
00:14:59,749 –> 00:15:03,053
say, well, what does this mean for me? Sometimes it’s, what does this mean about

248
00:15:03,109 –> 00:15:06,829
God? And that we can definitely look for exact. But

249
00:15:06,917 –> 00:15:10,637
there are ways to apply any of those truths,

250
00:15:10,661 –> 00:15:14,469
whether it’s, hey, God is. Will do what he promised. How

251
00:15:14,477 –> 00:15:18,221
do I. How do I, you know, personally, you know, is there

252
00:15:18,253 –> 00:15:21,797
something in my life and I need to apply that to. Because I need to

253
00:15:21,821 –> 00:15:25,379
remember, like, who he is and that he is going to do what he promised.

254
00:15:25,467 –> 00:15:28,495
Yeah. So that kind of thing,

255
00:15:28,915 –> 00:15:32,763
it’s much more difficult to get that. We talked, you know, I

256
00:15:32,779 –> 00:15:36,451
think, on day one about, you know, the sermon and how you

257
00:15:36,483 –> 00:15:40,259
just kind of catch what you catch in the fishnet as pastors

258
00:15:40,347 –> 00:15:43,627
preaching. But when you’re actually in the word yourself,

259
00:15:43,811 –> 00:15:47,579
you’re getting that right. You’re going to get everything in here,

260
00:15:47,707 –> 00:15:51,371
and then you’re going to say, okay, now I can see how I can

261
00:15:51,403 –> 00:15:55,235
put this into practice in my life, and that’s what makes a difference.

262
00:15:55,575 –> 00:15:58,911
So good. I absolutely love the way you have

263
00:15:59,023 –> 00:16:02,839
orchestrated that so that you. You’ve got one for every grade level. You know,

264
00:16:02,847 –> 00:16:06,687
of course, Lacey’s going through the, you know, older teen version of

265
00:16:06,711 –> 00:16:10,255
Anchored right now, and it’s just. It’s fantastic

266
00:16:10,415 –> 00:16:13,927
because it really does help them to learn how to study the Bible. It used

267
00:16:13,951 –> 00:16:16,319
to be where, you know, we say, just, okay, go do your Bible time. And

268
00:16:16,327 –> 00:16:20,057
she would just go read her Bible, which is great and fine, but this

269
00:16:20,081 –> 00:16:23,625
has taken her one step further into really understanding how to study

270
00:16:23,665 –> 00:16:27,425
God’s word, and it’s what’s most important for her. So, so

271
00:16:27,425 –> 00:16:29,725
much good stuff. All right, we’re going to take a break. We’ll be right.

272
00:17:39,815 –> 00:17:43,319
We are back with Kim. Let’s talk in these last few minutes.

273
00:17:43,407 –> 00:17:47,079
About making connections in the Bible. You know, it’s one of those funny things.

274
00:17:47,167 –> 00:17:50,615
Well, it’s not funny. I don’t know why I said it’s funny. It’s actually really

275
00:17:50,655 –> 00:17:54,351
sad, actually, that there are many pastors today who are like, well,

276
00:17:54,423 –> 00:17:57,735
you know, the Old Testament is irrelevant. We don’t even need the Old

277
00:17:57,775 –> 00:18:01,047
Testament. Many pastors, I think, think the entire word of God is

278
00:18:01,071 –> 00:18:04,921
irrelevant. But there are so many connections to be made between

279
00:18:04,993 –> 00:18:08,433
Old Testament, New Testament and how God’s story is God’s

280
00:18:08,529 –> 00:18:12,217
story. Talk about that for a minute. And how. I mean, that. That’s an

281
00:18:12,241 –> 00:18:15,705
important part of teaching our kids the word of God is all of the

282
00:18:15,745 –> 00:18:19,441
connections that are made within it because it just proves that God’s word is

283
00:18:19,473 –> 00:18:23,225
true, right? Yes. I think it is so important. And maybe

284
00:18:23,345 –> 00:18:26,625
one of the more important things for us to remember when we’re helping our kids

285
00:18:26,665 –> 00:18:30,465
study the Bible. And that’s because, you know, we. Everywhere

286
00:18:30,505 –> 00:18:34,105
they go, Sunday school, all these places, people

287
00:18:34,145 –> 00:18:37,729
are telling them stories, right? And their

288
00:18:37,817 –> 00:18:41,657
stories are focused on characters. They’re not about

289
00:18:41,721 –> 00:18:45,409
God, right? They should be, but they’re not. You know, they’re

290
00:18:45,457 –> 00:18:49,121
like, oh, here’s David. Isn’t he cool? And just so

291
00:18:49,153 –> 00:18:52,745
you know, if you read the whole Bible, David wasn’t so

292
00:18:52,825 –> 00:18:56,665
cool, but a little later he gets into some big trouble.

293
00:18:56,785 –> 00:19:00,557
And so if we don’t help our kids to understand that a

294
00:19:00,621 –> 00:19:03,861
story, an isolated story in the Bible is not about David but about God and

295
00:19:03,893 –> 00:19:07,685
said that we. They’re missing the connection.

296
00:19:07,845 –> 00:19:11,461
So when they keep going and they see, oh, wait, David fell.

297
00:19:11,613 –> 00:19:14,877
David did these things. Do you know the story of

298
00:19:14,901 –> 00:19:18,693
Bathsheba? Yes, I do. But the story of Bathsheba and

299
00:19:18,709 –> 00:19:22,429
David is not about them either. It’s about God

300
00:19:22,557 –> 00:19:26,145
and it’s about his mercy and his forgiveness for all of us,

301
00:19:26,285 –> 00:19:30,057
which is desperately needed by us, right? So we. But we look

302
00:19:30,081 –> 00:19:33,681
in the story and we’re like, oh, David was. David was a bad guy now.

303
00:19:33,753 –> 00:19:36,753
Well, David was a good guy. David’s a bad. That’s not what the Bible is

304
00:19:36,769 –> 00:19:40,553
about. Bible is about God’s story. And so making

305
00:19:40,609 –> 00:19:44,241
those connections is going to be really, really important for your kids

306
00:19:44,353 –> 00:19:48,137
so that they can see the Bible as a whole. I’m embarrassed to

307
00:19:48,161 –> 00:19:51,897
admit that going to. Again, growing up in

308
00:19:51,921 –> 00:19:55,495
the church, it wasn’t until I went through a Bible study on

309
00:19:55,535 –> 00:19:58,943
Genesis that as an adult that I

310
00:19:58,999 –> 00:20:02,823
understood that the. All of those stories and the Jacob and the

311
00:20:02,839 –> 00:20:06,391
Isaac and all those people were related. Can you believe that? I didn’t

312
00:20:06,423 –> 00:20:09,183
know, I didn’t know they were related. And not only did I not know they

313
00:20:09,199 –> 00:20:12,503
were related, but I didn’t understand that. It’s all woven in this

314
00:20:12,559 –> 00:20:16,151
amazing story of salvation and redemption.

315
00:20:16,263 –> 00:20:20,079
Like, I didn’t know who knew yet how they were connected.

316
00:20:20,247 –> 00:20:23,871
And so that is, if there’s anything that we can teach our kids about it,

317
00:20:23,903 –> 00:20:27,371
it’s not all the details because they don’t have to remember every little

318
00:20:27,483 –> 00:20:30,963
person and every little thing. And I don’t even think in this age you have

319
00:20:30,979 –> 00:20:34,475
to remember exactly where to find a piece of scripture in the Bible. Like there’s

320
00:20:34,515 –> 00:20:38,211
Google, right. So you can find what you need. But what you need to know

321
00:20:38,243 –> 00:20:41,779
is how does this connect? How does this paint the whole

322
00:20:41,827 –> 00:20:45,499
picture of who God is? Which kind of brings us to the last

323
00:20:45,547 –> 00:20:48,659
thing that we wanted to talk about, which is this product called

324
00:20:48,707 –> 00:20:52,411
faithapedia. And all of those things that we forget to help our

325
00:20:52,443 –> 00:20:55,555
kids learn. So we wrote this. It’s. It’s a

326
00:20:55,895 –> 00:20:59,167
flip book that you can use kind of in your morning time or, you know,

327
00:20:59,191 –> 00:21:02,655
whenever. Devotional time with your family. Yeah. And the idea

328
00:21:02,735 –> 00:21:06,431
behind it is to teach your kids all those things that you forget

329
00:21:06,503 –> 00:21:10,327
to help them make those connections. So we start like, it’s a five day

330
00:21:10,351 –> 00:21:13,795
thing. We start with every book of the Bible. So

331
00:21:14,095 –> 00:21:17,647
Monday is God is God’s books. And we literally

332
00:21:17,751 –> 00:21:20,847
go through and say, you know, we’re going to, we’re going to just give a

333
00:21:20,871 –> 00:21:24,311
synopsis of the book. No, they’re not going to know every little detail, every little

334
00:21:24,343 –> 00:21:28,087
thing that happened in there. That’s not the point. The point is to understand how

335
00:21:28,111 –> 00:21:31,927
it connects everything. Why is Genesis in the Bible? What’s the point?

336
00:21:31,991 –> 00:21:35,575
You know? And then they’re going to do God’s

337
00:21:35,615 –> 00:21:39,447
words, which is theology, those theology words, those things

338
00:21:39,471 –> 00:21:43,311
that we talk about in church that we do not ever tell our

339
00:21:43,343 –> 00:21:47,075
kids yet. Right. We forget to tell them those things

340
00:21:47,375 –> 00:21:51,135
then. And these are all related, of course, throughout the week. Then

341
00:21:51,215 –> 00:21:54,897
God’s the names of God and how those correlate and

342
00:21:55,001 –> 00:21:58,825
continue on that story, who he is. Yeah. Third

343
00:21:58,905 –> 00:22:02,585
is God’s stories, we call it. And that’s actually

344
00:22:02,625 –> 00:22:06,393
how God uses people. And none of these people are actually in the

345
00:22:06,409 –> 00:22:09,225
Bible. These are hymn writers, they’re missionaries, they’re

346
00:22:09,265 –> 00:22:13,057
theologians, they’re all fallen people, just like the

347
00:22:13,081 –> 00:22:16,497
people in the Bible, all fallen people. But

348
00:22:16,641 –> 00:22:20,317
God uses them to do something pretty cool. And

349
00:22:20,341 –> 00:22:24,133
so we share that. And then lastly, we have a timeline. So in

350
00:22:24,149 –> 00:22:27,901
the Old Testament, this is where it gets really good. We

351
00:22:27,933 –> 00:22:31,661
tell the story of God’s people from creation. Yeah. All the way

352
00:22:31,693 –> 00:22:35,317
until, you know, the period of science. Right. And so we get to

353
00:22:35,381 –> 00:22:38,965
see how the Israelite, how they started, how

354
00:22:39,005 –> 00:22:42,821
God created this group of people and how they fell and how

355
00:22:42,853 –> 00:22:45,981
all of that transpired. And then we pick it up in the New

356
00:22:46,013 –> 00:22:49,717
Testament with the church. So we begin, of course

357
00:22:49,781 –> 00:22:53,381
with Jesus birth, but we very quickly progress into the

358
00:22:53,413 –> 00:22:57,205
creation of the church. And in the New Testament version, which I believe you

359
00:22:57,245 –> 00:23:00,997
have is walks all the way through

360
00:23:01,141 –> 00:23:04,413
present day church, you know, all the way through Protestant Reformation

361
00:23:04,509 –> 00:23:08,349
everything and kind of tells kids what,

362
00:23:08,437 –> 00:23:11,675
that, you know, how it progressed again, making those

363
00:23:11,755 –> 00:23:15,603
connections so that they can see the whole picture of what

364
00:23:15,699 –> 00:23:19,459
God is doing. The Bible is not a collection of books. It’s one

365
00:23:19,507 –> 00:23:23,107
book. Yeah. And it’s one story of the most

366
00:23:23,171 –> 00:23:26,771
amazing person you’ll ever know. And so you’ve got

367
00:23:26,803 –> 00:23:30,395
to, you know, gotta read it so you can get that. And you’ve got to

368
00:23:30,435 –> 00:23:34,211
make those connections and help your kids constantly making those connections. So

369
00:23:34,243 –> 00:23:37,655
when you read a passage, even if you don’t use a Bible study, one question

370
00:23:37,695 –> 00:23:41,155
you can always ask is, what do we learn about God here?

371
00:23:41,535 –> 00:23:45,263
And if we keep it focused there, we’ll be much better off than,

372
00:23:45,359 –> 00:23:48,871
you know, who was in the story? What did they do? How can we apply

373
00:23:48,903 –> 00:23:51,955
this to our lives? I hate that question in the Bible study

374
00:23:52,415 –> 00:23:56,175
because it’s not a bad question. The thing is, it’s just not

375
00:23:56,215 –> 00:24:00,015
always what the, what the Bible is about. Right. You know, the Bible is

376
00:24:00,055 –> 00:24:03,503
really about how do we, you know, connect

377
00:24:03,559 –> 00:24:07,327
this, how do we relate this to what God and

378
00:24:07,351 –> 00:24:10,307
who God is and how do we see that? And so that’s what we want

379
00:24:10,331 –> 00:24:14,067
to get for our kids. Yes. So good. This is, I

380
00:24:14,091 –> 00:24:17,627
have the New Testament faithopedia and this is my favorite product

381
00:24:17,771 –> 00:24:21,507
that you have. I absolutely love it because it walks

382
00:24:21,531 –> 00:24:25,307
you through. It’s an apologetic study really. And it’s true. I mean,

383
00:24:25,331 –> 00:24:29,051
just looking at the connection between, through the

384
00:24:29,083 –> 00:24:32,507
whole Bible. But you look at Genesis 1:1, in the beginning

385
00:24:32,651 –> 00:24:36,353
God created. And then you look at John chapter one. In the

386
00:24:36,369 –> 00:24:39,081
beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God. And the Word was God.

387
00:24:39,113 –> 00:24:42,273
He was with God in the beginning, which is talking about Jesus and how Jesus

388
00:24:42,329 –> 00:24:45,753
was at the very beginning of time. And Jesus and God are the same. And

389
00:24:45,769 –> 00:24:48,925
so making even just that connection

390
00:24:49,425 –> 00:24:53,169
that at the very beginning of God’s Word, it’s already

391
00:24:53,257 –> 00:24:56,565
talking about how there’s going to be a Savior who’s going to come

392
00:24:56,865 –> 00:25:00,245
and all of the Old Testament is pointing to

393
00:25:01,025 –> 00:25:04,593
Jesus as our Savior. And it’s so good. It’s so

394
00:25:04,609 –> 00:25:07,889
good. That’s why it’s so disappointing and sad

395
00:25:07,937 –> 00:25:11,569
when pastors just throw out the Old Testament. Like,

396
00:25:11,657 –> 00:25:14,401
I mean, you don’t throw out the whole first part of any novel that you

397
00:25:14,433 –> 00:25:16,913
read and go, eh, the first part doesn’t matter. We’ll just read the second half

398
00:25:16,929 –> 00:25:20,681
of the book. It just doesn’t even make sense that way. But you know, they

399
00:25:20,713 –> 00:25:24,497
like to pull pieces out to make whatever point they’re trying to make. And so

400
00:25:24,521 –> 00:25:28,197
that’s why expository preaching is so important. How be in a

401
00:25:28,221 –> 00:25:31,909
church that teaches the word of God, not that teaches just topics about

402
00:25:31,957 –> 00:25:35,533
whatever. When they have that week and they sprinkle on a couple of scriptures to

403
00:25:35,549 –> 00:25:39,229
back up their point, you know, we, we don’t need TED talks, we need scripture

404
00:25:39,277 –> 00:25:42,893
teaching. We need to be at a church that is teaching the word of

405
00:25:42,909 –> 00:25:46,637
God as a whole. Amen. That’s how we do it. So one last

406
00:25:46,661 –> 00:25:50,493
thing we have. We’re totally out of time, but that’s okay. I’m good

407
00:25:50,509 –> 00:25:54,349
to go over. I just want to go through really quickly just some other creative

408
00:25:54,397 –> 00:25:57,685
ideas and maybe you can talk through some of these with me

409
00:25:57,725 –> 00:26:01,309
of doing Bible studies with our kids. Bible time with our

410
00:26:01,357 –> 00:26:04,581
kids. One of them, I think that’s a really fun idea

411
00:26:04,653 –> 00:26:08,493
is having the older kids lead family Bible

412
00:26:08,549 –> 00:26:12,237
studies. However, in doing this, I think we need to

413
00:26:12,261 –> 00:26:16,021
be really careful that we’re not just saying, here you go, do this,

414
00:26:16,093 –> 00:26:19,645
and then have no training. I think this is a really good opportunity for maybe

415
00:26:19,685 –> 00:26:23,351
dad to come alongside his kids and say, okay, we’re going to do this

416
00:26:23,383 –> 00:26:27,223
Bible study together and help him come out with an outline. Because you

417
00:26:27,239 –> 00:26:30,887
wouldn’t just put anybody up in front of your church and say, okay, preach a

418
00:26:30,911 –> 00:26:34,527
sermon. Because they might not know how to do that. They might not be

419
00:26:34,551 –> 00:26:38,167
preaching truth. So as parents, we can come alongside of our

420
00:26:38,191 –> 00:26:41,847
kids for older kids and use that as an

421
00:26:41,871 –> 00:26:45,615
opportunity to really teach them. We’re going to study this one passage of scripture

422
00:26:45,655 –> 00:26:48,903
and then I want you to teach it. Because of course, we all know that

423
00:26:48,999 –> 00:26:51,355
we learn better when we teach something, right?

424
00:26:52,775 –> 00:26:56,383
So I think that’s a really, really great idea is with older kids

425
00:26:56,439 –> 00:26:59,515
especially to teach them how to teach

426
00:27:00,735 –> 00:27:04,439
the rest of the family. Do a Bible study with them. And then another

427
00:27:04,487 –> 00:27:08,111
one is drawing, I think kids drawing or

428
00:27:08,143 –> 00:27:11,591
acting out whatever story it is. That’s I think more

429
00:27:11,663 –> 00:27:15,495
for little kids, but older kids too. I mean, if they Love to draw or

430
00:27:15,535 –> 00:27:19,263
act, whatever their ages are. Um, I think that’s a really fun way to

431
00:27:19,279 –> 00:27:22,951
make Bible stories come to life is to act them out, draw

432
00:27:22,983 –> 00:27:26,823
them out. They could create something with Plato or with clay or something like

433
00:27:26,839 –> 00:27:30,023
that. Um, what are some other things that you. Do you have any other ideas

434
00:27:30,079 –> 00:27:33,319
of just ways to make Bible time creative and Bible study

435
00:27:33,367 –> 00:27:37,055
creative? You know, the first thing that comes to mind is when we are

436
00:27:37,095 –> 00:27:40,791
reading a passage around the table, we

437
00:27:40,823 –> 00:27:43,823
will do it kind of in different

438
00:27:43,919 –> 00:27:47,717
voices, which probably seems a little irreverent to people,

439
00:27:47,781 –> 00:27:51,445
but it’s not. I don’t. I think God

440
00:27:51,485 –> 00:27:55,301
loves it because we’re, we’re. We’re trying to get it a little

441
00:27:55,333 –> 00:27:59,181
bit deeper, you know, and so we’ll just kind of read it in like,

442
00:27:59,373 –> 00:28:03,141
you know, just dramatic tone. Our kids are pretty creative, you know,

443
00:28:03,173 –> 00:28:07,021
some type of dramatic or, you know, massive voice or,

444
00:28:07,053 –> 00:28:10,837
you know, whatever. Right. And it just kind of adds a little

445
00:28:10,861 –> 00:28:14,635
bit of interest, especially to a longer passage. Yeah, so that’s a

446
00:28:14,675 –> 00:28:18,147
fun thing that we’ve done for sure. That is fun. I, I

447
00:28:18,171 –> 00:28:21,747
think bringing some sort of drama into it because it piques

448
00:28:21,771 –> 00:28:25,571
kids interest instead of just having your monotone voice, which is usually what

449
00:28:25,603 –> 00:28:29,055
we do. But, you know, yeah, that’s okay too,

450
00:28:29,595 –> 00:28:32,731
you know, but. But that is fun. And also asking questions. I think that’s a

451
00:28:32,763 –> 00:28:36,323
really important thing. As we’re reading and we talked, we’ve talked about that with Bible

452
00:28:36,379 –> 00:28:39,969
study, and that’s what, you know, your Bible studies do is it asks questions. But

453
00:28:40,057 –> 00:28:43,681
as we come back together as a group, you know, really asking kids those questions

454
00:28:43,713 –> 00:28:47,561
that make them think through what it is that they’ve read, you know,

455
00:28:47,593 –> 00:28:51,313
I think is so good. So. Wow. So much good stuff. Oh, I

456
00:28:51,329 –> 00:28:54,193
wanted to give one last resource here. I think we’ve talked about this on the

457
00:28:54,209 –> 00:28:57,841
podcast before, but my bestie, Crystal

458
00:28:57,873 –> 00:29:01,377
Coleman, you guys have heard her, she’s been on the podcast before. Her dad has

459
00:29:01,401 –> 00:29:04,971
an incredible ministry called Biblesong. It’s

460
00:29:05,003 –> 00:29:08,707
biblesong.com and what he’s done is he’s taken the

461
00:29:08,731 –> 00:29:12,363
Bible and he’s put the Bible to, to music. And so he

462
00:29:12,379 –> 00:29:15,987
has several books of the Bible, like the entire book of the Bible that you

463
00:29:16,011 –> 00:29:19,483
can listen to the songs. And it’s free. It’s absolutely free. So I’ll put this

464
00:29:19,499 –> 00:29:23,347
link in the show notes, but go to biblesong.com and he has done

465
00:29:23,371 –> 00:29:27,099
an incredible job of putting scripture to music

466
00:29:27,187 –> 00:29:31,007
so that we can hide God’s word in our hearts. And it’s funny, I was

467
00:29:31,031 –> 00:29:34,415
thinking about that the other day, that I hate the word hide, because hiding something

468
00:29:34,455 –> 00:29:38,271
is something that you want to keep to yourself. You don’t want anyone else to

469
00:29:38,303 –> 00:29:40,751
see it. You just want to, like, hide it in a dark corner or something.

470
00:29:40,783 –> 00:29:44,055
You know, like when I had candy from my girls, which, by the way, I

471
00:29:44,095 –> 00:29:47,463
still do, because if I don’t, then they eat it. My mom was laughing at

472
00:29:47,479 –> 00:29:51,039
me the other day. I said, yeah, I hide candy from my girls because if

473
00:29:51,047 –> 00:29:52,983
they know where it is, then they eat it all. And then when I want

474
00:29:52,999 –> 00:29:56,381
to eat it, it’s not there. I go to eat some MM’s and the bag

475
00:29:56,413 –> 00:29:59,861
is empty. So I have no other choice but to hide things for my

476
00:29:59,893 –> 00:30:03,581
girls. But we don’t want to hide God’s word in that way. What we

477
00:30:03,613 –> 00:30:06,821
want to do is keep God’s word in our hearts so that we know it

478
00:30:06,893 –> 00:30:10,613
well. And Bible song is a fantastic way to do that. And

479
00:30:10,629 –> 00:30:14,165
just reading scripture, I mean, we’ve talked about this before with our

480
00:30:14,205 –> 00:30:17,917
girls. We have memorized a ton of scripture, and they are so much

481
00:30:17,941 –> 00:30:21,221
better at memorizing than I am. Their young minds can

482
00:30:21,333 –> 00:30:25,043
memorize so much faster. But you can do it to music, but you can

483
00:30:25,059 –> 00:30:28,755
also do it just by reading it. If you just keep repeating every single night

484
00:30:28,875 –> 00:30:32,435
for a month or for a couple of weeks, the same exact passage of

485
00:30:32,475 –> 00:30:35,987
scripture. Our girls know entire psalms, like, entire entire

486
00:30:36,051 –> 00:30:39,731
chapters of psalms. And it’s not because we’re anything amazing. It’s because they have the

487
00:30:39,763 –> 00:30:43,443
ability to memorize scripture. And so we’ll start with

488
00:30:43,499 –> 00:30:47,227
a specific psalm, and they’ll memorize the entire thing. And it’s

489
00:30:47,251 –> 00:30:51,003
just because it’s repetitive, we just repeat it over and over again. So I

490
00:30:51,019 –> 00:30:54,692
would highly recommend doing that. But again, check out biblesong.com and they’ve

491
00:30:54,757 –> 00:30:58,533
got a ton of YouTube videos and great resources up there

492
00:30:58,629 –> 00:31:02,181
to memorize God’s word. So, Kim, thank you so much

493
00:31:02,253 –> 00:31:05,597
for being with us. Thank you for sharing your products with us. I know you’ve

494
00:31:05,621 –> 00:31:07,893
got lots more that we didn’t even get a chance to talk about, but go

495
00:31:07,909 –> 00:31:11,485
on her website, and if you guys sign up for the free Bible study

496
00:31:11,565 –> 00:31:15,397
that she has, it’s fantastic. And it’s called

497
00:31:15,541 –> 00:31:17,981
the Best family Ever. It’s a free Bible study. If you just go to their

498
00:31:18,013 –> 00:31:20,863
website, I think it’s right on the front page of your website, right, Kim? It

499
00:31:20,879 –> 00:31:24,567
is. Yeah. Yeah. Scroll down a little bit. You’ll find it. Yep, yep. Find it.

500
00:31:24,591 –> 00:31:27,679
Sign up for that free Bible study. It’s a download that you can get. And

501
00:31:27,687 –> 00:31:31,287
when you do that, it will sign you up for Kim’s newsletter. And they send

502
00:31:31,311 –> 00:31:34,663
out. They. They don’t spam you. You guys send out great

503
00:31:34,839 –> 00:31:38,623
encouragement and resources. And so they have sales on their products all

504
00:31:38,639 –> 00:31:41,767
the time. So you guys will know when sales are coming up and what they

505
00:31:41,791 –> 00:31:45,391
have going on there. And so. So check out the other products that she has

506
00:31:45,463 –> 00:31:49,255
real quick. The other one that I like that you have is the sibling one.

507
00:31:49,295 –> 00:31:53,143
You have one on siblings and how siblings can get along. And I think that

508
00:31:53,159 –> 00:31:56,599
one’s fantastic as well. My girls have done the relationships collection.

509
00:31:56,687 –> 00:32:00,351
Yep, yep. Good stuff. So thank you, Kim, so much. One

510
00:32:00,383 –> 00:32:02,535
last time, tell people what your website is. It’s

511
00:32:02,575 –> 00:32:06,423
NotConsumed.com. All right, we’ll put all those links in the

512
00:32:06,439 –> 00:32:09,447
show notes to make it easy for you guys. Kim, thank you for being with

513
00:32:09,471 –> 00:32:12,919
us this week and for bringing the encouragement to this last

514
00:32:12,967 –> 00:32:16,663
episode of teaching every subject. If you guys missed the other episodes,

515
00:32:16,719 –> 00:32:19,479
go back and listen to those. And we’ve got a couple of other series. We

516
00:32:19,487 –> 00:32:23,023
have the Homeschooling through the Years series, which was another really good one. We talked

517
00:32:23,039 –> 00:32:26,751
about homeschooling from pre-K all the way to through the after

518
00:32:26,823 –> 00:32:30,567
years. We had a really good time recording that one as

519
00:32:30,591 –> 00:32:34,295
well. And we’ve got a few others. So we’ll put links to all of those

520
00:32:34,335 –> 00:32:37,831
in the show notes. We love you guys. Have a great rest of your week

521
00:32:37,863 –> 00:32:41,663
and we will see you back here on Monday with another fantastic guest. Stay

522
00:32:41,679 –> 00:32:44,815
tuned to the end here. It’s coming up. Then we’ll see you then. Bye.
