Dream BIG and Fan the Dreams in Those Around You
As long as there have been dreams, there have been dream killers. We've all encountered candle snuffers, bubble busters, and wet blankets. They're the ones who constantly remind you why you shouldn't homeschool, have more children, be a stay at home mom, or take that step of faith you believe God would have you take. The world is filled with dream killers. They grew up with you, they live in your house, and sometimes they...are you. Their intentions may be good, but if you listen to them, you will miss out on God's best for your life. Join Todd as he helps you revive old dreams, gives you weapons to battle dream killers, and urges you to throw caution to the wind and set sail for the adventure of a lifetime.
Lies Homeschoolers Believe
Your house is a disaster, your kids seem out of control, and you wonder how you'll ever make it through another day of school. Your "get up and go" has "gotten up and went".

Raising Dangerous Sons in a Safe and Mediocre World
Let's face it: Most men today are yellow-bellied, lily-livered weenies. They may wear tall Stetsons, drive fast cars, bungee-jump from bridges, collect souped-up power tools and carry big black Bibles, but they're weenies. They flex their biceps and proclaim their faith, but when the going gets tough, they play it safe. But God wants your sons to leave the heavily populated, safe waters and live dangerously.
Get REAL!
Are you convinced that every homeschooling family except yours is great?

Homeschooling moms fear that they're letting their kids down in their education and in example.

If you left THEIR school because you didn’t like their school, then why are you trying to make your school like their school?

If you’ve been thinking there has to be a better way… there is, and it’s not called boarding school. Join Todd as he re-examines the reasons behind what we do and why we do it and burns the bridge between their way and the better way.

Join Todd, as he goes face to face with the naysayers and shows you how to address their concerns of why you shouldn’t homeschool your children.
How To Keep On Going When You Feel Like Giving Up
Homeschooling is hard, parenting is hard, and marriage…well, that’s way hard. And that’s OK. Trouble is we don’t like hard. We want easy and at the same time we want successful results. But good things are hard and hard things are good, and they go hand in hand. Sadly, most people don’t ever experience the good because they can’t handle the hard. They put the hard thing off and all they end up with is a pile of regrets. Here’s the good news: you can handle the hard. In fact, if you’re faced with two choices, pick ‘HARD.’ During this hour, you’ll laugh with Todd as he shares how to embrace the hardness while keeping your eye on the joy and experience God’s best for you.

Taming the Techno-Beast: Parenting in the Internet Age
XBoxes, Game Cubes, the Internet, MP3 players, and iPhones have changed the way we live, have fun, and interact. Children quietly glued to game monitors for hours have replaced laughter and creativity. They beg to play, whine when they can’t, and even lie about the time they’ve spent on “the gadget.” Teens and preteens spend most of their waking hours texting, chatting on Facebook, or “tweeting” on Twitter. Today’s latest-breaking technology becomes tomorrow’s obsession, demanding more time, attention, and sacrifice.
