Have you considered homeschooling, but entertained doubts about your qualifications or abilities to adequately teach your children? A notable voice in the homeschooling movement has seven words for you: “Be deaf to the cult of professionalism.” Homeschooling is not a nifty trick for so-called “experts.” It is an indispensable and vital way to bring up their kids in the training and instruction of the Lord.

It is also a way to protect children from the godless and sexually corrupt indoctrination that has become prominent in most of our government schools.

Does homeschooling really provide a better education than the public school system? What about parents who don’t have training to teach? What about Christian parents who want their kids to be “salt and light?”—do they really have an option to send their kids to public school? Dr. Brian Ray, prominent researcher and homeschool advocate from the National Home Education Research Institute, addresses these and other questions in this courageous presentation that has garnered 11,000 views so far.

Join Dr. Ray and the attendees of the 2019 Let Parents Decide Conference for half an hour of bold exhortation regarding your educational choices. He reminds us that a student will become like his teacher—so who is your child’s teacher? And furthermore, who shouldn’t be your child’s teacher? Do we clearly see the state of the public school system right now? And, perhaps more importantly, do we clearly see the responsibility that parents have to bring up their children rightly?

Whether or not you come to the same conclusions he does, you will be challenged in your outlook on education and the family as he asks pointed questions from a biblical worldview.
