Scholé Sisters: Camaraderie for the Classical Homeschooling Mama show

Scholé Sisters: Camaraderie for the Classical Homeschooling Mama

Summary: Scholé Sisters is the podcast for the classical homeschooling mama who seeks to learn and grow while she’s helping her children learn and grow. Scholé Sisters is a casual conversation about topics that matter to those of us in the trenches of classical homeschooling who yearn for something more than just checking boxes and getting it all done. In each episode, we cover our Scholé Everyday (suggestions for inspiration and growth), and a topical discussion relying on principles we find in books by people like David Hicks, James Taylor, and Charlotte Mason.

 EP 36: Is Scholé for Everyone? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:20:53

In today’s episode, Brandy, Pam, and Mystie raise the question of whether scholé is for everyone. Or is it just for the bookish and more academic? They had to begin by defining scholé, of course. This episode is about scholé in real life, WITH our kids and FOR our kids. How do we help them "do scholé"? There are some big questions discussed this time!

Today, the Scholé Sisters get real about Christmas. We can be classical not just in our approach to education, but also in our approach to happiness.

 SP 02: Leading Well (You Had Questions, We Had Answers) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:07:57

This episode is a something of a bonus for those of you who attended our Leading Well retreat this past summer. If you DIDN’T attend the retreat, we think you’ll still enjoy the episode. But more importantly, a lot of you have asked if we offer replays of the retreat for those who missed it, or didn’t know about it at the time. Starting TODAY, the answer to that question is a resounding YES! At the end, we’ll tell you how to go get your own retreat replay for those of you who have been waiting.

 EP 29: I'm Not the Holy Spirit (with Eric Hall) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 52:14

Have you ever tried to sort out the tension between God's grace and our pursuit of virtue? Is virtue ultimately a free gift of grace? And, if so, how can we say it is the goal of Christian education? If virtue IS our goal, how do we impart it? How do we test it? And is there a danger in homeschooling when it comes to virtue tests? And what if we fail? What if everything we've done isn't enough? Today on the show, our guest Eric Hall helps Mystie and Brandy sort these tensions out.
