I’m in Dallas at the HSLDA Leaders Conference with my friend Zan Tyler. She shares her story of facing jail in the 1980s for choosing to homeschool—and why that fight for freedom still matters today. We talk about homeschooling as a movement for liberty and discipleship, the challenges families face right now, and how we can meet this moment with faith and courage.

| 0:00.0 | You know, discipleship doesn't need to be complicated, but it does need to be intentional. |
| 0:05.4 | That's why I'm excited to introduce you to the Illuminate Bible series from Lifestone Ministries. |
| 0:11.8 | It's a Bible curriculum designed to grow with your child from first grade all the way through high school. |
| 0:17.7 | So whether your child is just starting to read or asking deeper questions |
| 0:21.9 | about faith and culture, Illuminate meets them right where they are and helps them build a lasting |
| 0:28.1 | relationship with Jesus. Each week, you'll walk through a simple five-step approach. You'll look at a |
| 0:33.5 | Bible story, the context around it, how it connects to the rest of Scripture, the theology |
| 0:38.7 | behind it, and what it means for real life. It's designed for families, and so you don't need |
| 0:44.1 | five different books for five different kids. You can go through it together using workbooks |
| 0:49.5 | tailored to the ages of your kids. So if you've been looking for a way to disciple your kids without |
| 0:55.0 | adding more stress to your day, this is it. In a world where so many kids are walking away from |

| 1:25.0 | I'm here in Dallas, Texas right now at the National Leaders Conference for |
| 1:28.7 | the Homeschool Legal Defense Association. And the best part about being here is that I have access |
| 1:34.4 | to some of the brightest minds and the best interviews anywhere on the planet. So I have been |
| 1:39.0 | skulking around asking some of my friends if they would come to my hotel room and record a show. |
| 1:44.3 | And today I am honored and blessed to be joined by my really dear friend, |
| 1:48.8 | Zan Tyler. |
| 1:49.5 | We're going to tear it up today. |
