SPOTLIGHT: Raising the Next Generation of Culture Warriors


The recent Illinois Christian Home Educators (ICHE) convention in Naperville was the setting for this week’s Spotlight conversation between Monte Larrick and his guest, Kirk Smith, Executive Director of ICHE.  Monte and Kirk discuss various motivations families have for homeschooling and current trends in home education. Smith shares why he and his wife have chosen to homeschool their eleven children and he encourages parents to exercise due diligence and discretion in choosing curriculum that is Christ-centered. In addition to the academic benefits, he also explains how the spiritual dimension of home education prepares the next generation to engage the culture with a biblical worldview.

If you are considering home education as an alternative to public schooling or are currently homeschooling, you will want to listen to this informative podcast. Even more importantly, if you think the topic of home education doesn’t pertain to you or has no impact on your life, I strongly recommend that you listen as Kirk Smith details the many ways in which home education benefits not just students and their families, but our state and society at large.
