Today, it’s my joy to welcome homeschooling mom, Olivia Spears, to talk about The Importance of Beauty and Story in Catechesis.

As Catholic homeschoolers, we want our children to develop relationships with the saints as role models and friends. However, not everyone who lived a life of heroic virtue has been formally canonized by the Church, so we might have to dig a little deeper to study their fascinating and inspiring lives. My guest, today, the Miracle Hunter himself, Michael O’Neill, is here to tell us about his new book, They Might Be Saints!

Many homeschooling families are now “homesteading” because they love the self-sufficiency, as they raise animals and grow wholesome food. It’s a simpler kind of life for them and their children. Today’s guest, a very smart homeschooling dad, is here to share how he and his family are Homesteading for Independence.

Sometimes the Lord calls us to clear a new path forward for our families, and it can feel lonely, at first. But God rewards our commitment and calls others to come alongside us and share the journey--and oh boy, do those friendships make all the difference.
