Today we’re delighted to speak with actor and filmmaker Kirk Cameron about his new film project "The Homeschool Awakening" which will be in theaters June 13 and 14. We go through some of the stereotypes and common questions about homeschooling. Can you really spend all that time with your kids every day? What about your child’s socialization? You’re not a trained teacher; how can you teach your kids? And we discuss how churches can help encourage families choosing to home educate. Plus, Allie goes through MSNBC’s review of the film and — spoiler alert — the reviewers didn’t love it, deeming it "dangerous."

  • When you homeschool, the government loses their influence on your children. Homeschooling is extremely freeing
  • @MrsNewfiefan
    This is my 14th year of homeschooling. To anyone reading this; you are capable enough, you are smart enough, you have enough education, you have enough patience, you have enough money, you have enough supplies, you have enough space. YOU are enough. You are everything your child needs. You CAN do this.
  • I was homeschooled. My parents installed very strong Christian values in me, I was not taught the woke nonsense they teach in schools and I was not told about issues like sex at an age that was inappropriate to do so. Despite the fact I didn't go to school, I still made good friends and did "well" education wise . I'm now 20 years old and am just so grateful for the years I was homeschooled. I was saved from the world , but still able to enjoy my teen years, while growing in my faith at home. When I was old enough to go to college at 16, I had been equipped enough to deal with that environment. There are also so many books and courses out there, my parents did not have to do all the teaching themselves! To any parents reading this, it does work; your child can do well education wise through it, make friends and be spared the awful nonsense taught in schools!

    The saddest thing to hear is this: parents who say they don’t think they could spend all day with their children. 💔 Our society has lost the blessing of family. My family has just finished our 11th year of homeschooling, and it is the greatest gift I have ever given myself. The TIME I have had with my children and the time they have had together is something I will cherish my whole life. The sacrifices my family has made in order for us to homeschool have been worth it.
  • @motorTranz
    "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
  • I quit my well paid nursing job to stay home and homeschool my kids. It was the best decision I have ever made! Seven beautiful years homeschooling my babies. They love God, family and Country 🙏🏼🇺🇸❤️
  • @sassyash00
    When my fifth grader knew more about preferred pronouns than multiplication math facts, I knew we were done with the public school system. Thank the Lord that He works all things out for His good; covid shutdowns allowed me to see first hand what my children were and were not learning.
  • I am a single mom and I have homeschooled all 3 of my boys. It can be done. I had to walk away from the career choice that I went to school for, to be able to homeschool but because I followed God's direction He has provided for me. Please keep an open mind to the idea of it. Thank you Allie and Kirk for talking about the topic.
  • @nickidrake
    My daughter just graduated from homeschool and this girl is amazing. She is so gracious and well spoken. She is mature and kind. She is shining Christ's light everywhere!! And I owe it all to the Lord blessing our home schooling of her. She was not influenced by other children, but influenced by her parents as we tried to model Christ.
  • We began homeschooling this year and I regret not doing it sooner! Such an eye opening experience! I highly recommend it!
  • @clarac7319
    Hey Ally I'm 13 and home schooled and I'm a Christian I'm very inspired by you I love watching you speak truth I get so excited to wait to watch your videos everyday
  • @kendraatkins
    Been homeschooling for a year now and absolutely love it. The freedom, the time with my kids and the flexibility. And my kids have more friends than ever before. Their friendships are also just solid and so positive.
  • @steveguti6452
    We would appreciate it deeply if anyone could pray for us our 12 year old daughter Candice still is very sick condition worsen we feel between a rock and hard place but we have faith in God and the power of prayers we ask for prayers because with God everything is possible praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you all
  • @saraz9017
    I was homeschooled and believe I turned out ok. I definitely appreciate the Biblical foundation I received. I was able to attend a private Christian high school. I have degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice and played soccer through college. Now I’m a stay at home mom and homeschooling my own kids.
  • I am an imperfect wife and mother that imperfectly homeschooled my imperfect children. They got the best of my time, energy, and efforts. I strove to present a consistent biblical worldview in all subjects. We read aloud and discussed wonderful books daily. Through their teenage years, they still sought and valued their parents' perspective and input. They were not peer dependent. They were ready for adult responsibilities soon after graduation, including marriage and children. They are now homeschooling their own children. I am so grateful that God gave me the willingness and desire to commit to homeschooling, even through difficulties. Chronic health issues meant that I had to parent and school them more days from the couch than I care to remember. One child's dyslexia made every day a challenge for both of us from kindergarten through to graduation. It was all worth it! I would do it all again if I could. I got to savor time with my beloved children, and God blessed my imperfect execution of all things homeschool! He was so faithful! I encourage all mothers to prayerfully undertake this wonderful educational option that we enjoy in the U.S.; support, resources, and choices abound! In the end, the imperfect was PERFECT!
  • Just had my first son and he is being homeschooled, without a doubt. So thankful to God for the opportunity.
  • I'm single with no children, but even in this season, I feel strongly that the Lord is leading me to homeschool my future children. This video is so timely!
  • I was one of the “I would/could never homeschool” people and here I am homeschooling x 2 years now. My husband and I are so so grateful we are on this homeschool journey!!
  • @arbonneladyTN
    We started with the “ONE YEAR at a time” idea… 22 years later I ‘retired’.
  • So grateful for covid - we found a biblical church, began homeschooling, and completely changed our priorities. I feel blessed every day to be able to spend my time with my kids, to watch them grow, to build our relationships, to disciple them. I had considered it years ago, when my kids were in preschool, but didn't think I could. It took some time to figure it out, but my kids and I truly enjoy learning together. If you're reading this, homeschool your kids!
