Mentorship and Lifeschooling – Craig and Deana Thompson

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.

October 11, 2018 by Danielle Papageorgiou 1 Comment

One of the most inspiring and impactful ways to help educate our children is through mentorship. On this episode of Life as a Lifeschooler, I had the opportunity to talk with Craig and Deana Thompson, who have helped each of their children through an intense and amazing mentorship program that Craig designed for them.

Craig and Deana reside in Tennessee. Craig is the owner of an internet company and is the editor of Preaching through Proverbs and is also currently writing a mentoring curriculum and related books. Craig and Deana have successfully graduated two children and are currently homeschooling four. They believe in a global education for their children and have participated in numerous mission trips throughout the world, both before and after having their children.

Here are some of the questions I asked Craig and Deana on this episode:

Craig, I met you at Rhea Perry’s Educating for Success conference and we didn’t get to talk much, but I was just so impressed with your daughter, who was actually one of the speakers that year. She gave an amazing presentation about her year of mentorship that you set up for her, and I just remember being blown away by her level of maturity and her ability to engage the audience at her young age.
I know she attributed much of her personal growth and maturity to the mentorship program you created. Tell us more about that.
What was your purpose in creating this program and who do you think it’s suited for?
Did you always homeschool this way? Tell us a bit about your homeschooling/lifeschooling journey.
Deana, how did you fit this mentorship program in with the homeschooling that you were already doing?
As you know, the definition of lifeschooling is “the individualized process of discovering your child’s God-given gifts and talents primarily through real life experiences that happen within the context of your family’s unique situations and missions.” Is there a part of that definition that particularly speaks to you and share with us a bit more about how your family lifeschools?
What are some of the gifts that you have seen in your children and how did mentorship help with the development of those gifts?

You can purchase Craig’s mentorship program at www.52GodlyMen.com and you can see some of his daughter’s videos on her mentorship experiences at www.52GodlyWomen.com.

And that’s Life as a Lifeschooler! Subscribe so you never miss an episode. Hope you’ll join us next time!

Mama Rose advises when dealing with any new transition, that it should be met head on and small steps in a forward direction. Further, she mentions a quote that is spoken in her house often,

Be the change you with to see in the world. -Ghandi

Homeschool Mentors: Why They Are Important

Homeschool Mentors: Why They Are Important

Podcast #12

“Show me a successful individual and I’ll show you someone who had real positive influences in his or her life. I don’t care what you do for a living—if you do it well I’m sure there was someone cheering you on or showing the way. A mentor.” — Denzel Washington

Homeschooling can be challenging … from day 1!

From the very beginning, we have questions that need to be answered and decisions that have to be made.

Which Curriculum to use? What is the difference between a support group and co-op? What about planning?

Overwhelming? YES! But we are surrounded by hundreds of people who have already walked this path before us.

Finding a mentor is so important, in helping us along this homeschooling journey.

In this episode, Florida Parent Educators Association (FPEA) Chairwoman, Suzanne Nunn discusses why homeschool mentors are so important. Find a mentor – Be a mentor!

Please join us as we travel along this journey on our podcast adventure. Let’s get connected! Learn more about the Florida Parent Educator’s Association and homeschooling in the beautiful state of Florida. If you are interested in homeschooling our convention is every year in May during Memorial Day weekend.
