Keeping God at the Center

How do you plan a whole homeschool year without letting the plan crowd out the reason you started? In this episode of the Everyday Educator podcast, host Delise Germond sits down with Kelli Wilt to talk about preparing for the new homeschool year while keeping God at the center — the mindset shifts, routines, and practical organization tips that make the difference before the first day of school ever arrives.

Whether you’re heading into your very first Foundations year or you’re a veteran mom sending a student into the Challenge program, this conversation is full of ideas you can put to work this summer.

You don’t have to have the perfect plan. Start by lifting your eyes off the checklist and back to your child, remembering the real aim of the year: to know God and make Him known.
