How that standardization creates followers that mindlessly take their place in a broken operating system. Obviously, I had heard of schooling and home-schooling, but what was unschooling? Once I learned more, it mapped to a convo April and I had on a road trip: We chatted about how our standardized education system resulted in standardized ideas and people. ![]() One day, April pointed out "Unschooling" as a topic and Dayna Martin as a guest. The good news is, I’m married to someone willing to do things "our way" vs following society's convention.

The Apostle Matthew is telling us that the Word of Jesus was spoken to everyone in this world, for he saw Jesus as the King of kings. ![]() ![]() ![]() Soon the walls around Chase’s heart are crumbling… and he’s in danger of falling, hard.

If someday someone who has read Nature’s Housekeeper decides to create a forest theme park, he’ll probably start by leveling the site, discarding all its wildlife, sterilizing the soil, and guiding its steams into concrete channels. He learned that, for hikers who will not stay on designated paths, no real forest can ever be turned into a something completely stable, tidy, and safe. ![]() His book is a comedy, filled with hair-raising tales of encounters with turkey buzzards the size of skinny gorillas, combative deer, walls of ticks, acres of poison ivy, fields of stinging nettles, and being mistaken by hikers for a deformed, purple-legged serial-killer hitchhiker.
