Raising the Remnant: Why Discipleship Belongs to You, with Kat Martin
Last week I told you about the day we decided to homeschool our girls, and the vision God placed in me for who they'd become. What I didn't say out loud is that homeschooling was never really about academics for me. It was about who gets to shape my daughters' hearts. Today's guest has spent almost twenty years thinking about exactly that question, and her book releases today, August 4th! Kat Martin is the co-founder of Raising the Remnant, a ministry devoted to equipping parents to disciple their children at home. She spent almost a decade as a classroom teacher, years in children's ministry and church planting, and she's a writer, instructional designer, and curriculum developer. She holds a bachelor's degree in English Literature, a master's degree in education and instructional design, and is certificated in theology. She lives in Colorado with her husband Rob and their three kids. In this episode - The moment Kat knew she had to write this book, and the year and a half she spent running from it - Why Kat believes discipleship belongs to parents first, not the church or the Christian school, and the math behind why - What discipleship actually looked like in Kat's home this week, no calendar, no curriculum, just a scared five-year-old and a bedtime moment - What to do if you're new to faith and don't have a Bible verse ready when your kid needs one - What the word remnant means, where it comes from in Scripture, and why Kat believes it's the battle of the next generation - The one thing to change this week if you want to bring more discipleship into your home Quote to remember "You are just stewarding their childhood while they're here on Earth."
