The Gritty Gospel with Christy & Heather

10/09/2026

How many times have you taught the same lesson, corrected the same mistake, or repeated the same instruction – only to wonder if any of it is sinking in?

If you’re a homeschool mom, you know this feeling. 😭

In our latest episode of The Gritty Gospel, we’re talking about the exhaustion of repetition, the discouragement that can creep in, and why faithfulness sometimes looks like doing the same small things over and over. 💜

In this episode of The Gritty Gospel, we’re getting real about the exhausting, repetitive, sanctifying work of discipling a strong willed child who struggles with obedience.

Because faithful discipleship isn’t measured by how quickly your child changes, but by your willingness to keep pointing them to Christ even when you’re weary.

You don’t need another parenting formula that promises perfectly obedient kids in five easy steps. You need the truth of the gospel for the trenches you’re actually living in.

So if you’re a Christian homeschool mom who is tired, discouraged, and still desperately wants to honor God in the way you parent, pull up a chair. ☺️😉

Sometimes a good homeschool morning looks like a long bike ride with your big kids. 🚲☀️

We were all tired. Nobody really wanted to do the regular routine. So instead of pushing through just because that’s what we “should” do… we blew it up for the morning.

We got outside. Rode our bikes. Enjoyed creation. Enjoyed each other. Chilled a little.

But also worked out, so obviously we were still being responsible. 🤣

And you know what? I think mornings like this matter.

As our kids get bigger, relationship matters more and more. There will always be another lesson to finish, another box to check, another thing we could accomplish. But sometimes the best thing we can do is break the mold, step outside the normal rhythm, and simply enjoy our kids.

Homeschooling gives us this beautiful freedom—not just to educate differently, but sometimes to say, “You know what? Today we need each other more than we need the schedule.”

So be encouraged, y’all. ❤️

Break the mold every once in a while. Go for the bike ride. Take the hike. Sit in the sunshine. Laugh together. Let the schedule bend.

The relationship you’re building with your kids is part of the education, too.

We love our kids too much to call sin something else. Sometimes they’re tired, hungry or just young – and we should care for them tenderly. But when they disobey God, they need us to name it, teach them to repent, and point them to Jesus. His grace is big enough for the truth. 💙

Discipleship is hard work. It requires patience, sacrifice, correction, prayer and a thousand unseen acts of faithfulness. 🫶 But eternity is worth it. Keep sowing, Mama. The Lord sees. 🙌🏼

For the Mom who laid down a career, a title, a salary, or a dream to disciple her children- God sees the hidden work. The world may measure significance by achievement, but the kingdom often measures it by quiet faithfulness. New episode: Degrees, Diapers and the Death of My Ego 🤩🤣
