How Do You Know When You’re Ready to Homeschool?

“Am I really ready for this?” If you’ve ever wrestled with doubts about starting your homeschool journey, you’re definitely not alone.

In this encouraging episode of Everyday Educator, host Kelly Wilt sits down with two seasoned homeschool moms, Lynne and Dede, who share their honest stories about taking the leap into homeschooling—even when they didn’t feel completely prepared. From overcoming fears about what others would think to discovering that homeschooling doesn’t mean recreating a classroom at home, this conversation offers practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement for parents standing on the edge of this big decision. Learn why “readiness” isn’t about having everything figured out, how God’s grace fills the gaps we feel so deeply, and why community is essential for the journey. Whether you’re a parent considering homeschooling or already walking this path, this episode reminds us that God doesn’t always call the equipped—He equips those He has called.
