The Informer – What is the RFRA?

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.
April 28, 2015 by Leave a Comment

You’ve seen the all media hype.

In March of 2015, Indiana passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), joining 31 other states in offering religious freedom protections. It’s a complicated subject and it can be very difficult to sort through all the noise. But one thing is clear, Indiana families involved in homeschool leadership need to stay informed.

Today’s podcast episode is a quick conversation about the basics of RFRA and why it matters.

Special Guest:
Debi Ketron is a member of the IAHE Board of Directors and the Chairperson for the IAHE’s Government Affairs Team.

Phil & Debi Ketron reside in Guilford, Indiana (Dearborn County).  Phil serves as Vice President and Secretary of the IAHE. Debi serves as the IAHE Legislative Director. They served as IAHE Region 8 Representatives for five years before joining the Board of Directors.  They homeschooled for 21 years, and their four children are homeschool graduates.  The two oldest have earned bachelor degrees, one of which is a CPA, and their two youngest children are currently in college.  The Ketrons had been involved in homeschool leadership in southeastern Indiana for many years.  They hope to be a blessing to the families of Indiana through their service at the IAHE.

The Informer – 13 Lessons From the End of the Road

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.
February 17, 2015 by 2 Comments

Informer Podcast 13 lessons roadAt the end of their family’s homeschool journey, Tara Bentley shares 13 Lessons from the End of the Road.

After graduating their youngest daughter from high school, veteran homeschool mom Tara presents a mix of regrets and tips for new moms.

Tara Bentley is the Managing Editor for The Informer Magazine and has served on the Board of Directors for the IAHE since 2013. She has also been a homeschool blogger and curriculum reviewer since 2009.

Taken from a live presentation to a local support group, this podcast will encourage you and remind you that God created us each as individuals. We are not created to look alike or school our children in identical ways.

But, we can still come together in moments of fellowship, celebrate our differences, and learn from each other along the way.

Too often moms isolate themselves based on the belief that they aren’t good enough.

We listen to our fears… instead of focusing on what God has called us to with our children.

  • Do you know who is watching out for you?
  • Are you burdened by unrealistic expectations for yourself?
  • Do you compare yourself to the other moms around you?
  • Do you feel compelled to complete every book you start?

Take some time for yourself, recharge, and release the doubts that you’ve allowed to hold you back in your own homeschooling journey.

Did you find this show to be helpful? Do you have questions that you would like to have answered?

Leave a comment and let us know. We’d love to hear from you.
