Hey moms. Welcome to this episode of the Dorenda Wilson podcast. I'm Durenda,

wife to one, mom to eight, nana to 10, and 30-year veteran homeschooling mom. I'm also the author of three books soon to be for,

The Unhurried Homestchooler, The Four-Houried Home School Day,

An Unhurried Grace for a Mom's Heart.

My new book, Coming Out March 5th, is called Raising Boys to Men,

a simple, mercifully short book on raising and homeschooling

boys. If you want to keep up on all that's going on with that and be part of the

giveaways and such, I encourage you to subscribe to my email newsletter. And when you do that

and you use the link here in the show notes to do so, you're going to

receive free access to Unhurried Grace for Mom's Heart devotional. That'll be free to you

for simply subscribing to my email list. Also, if you are a mom to teens, please be sure that

you listen to the podcast all the way through because I have an important resource

to share with you after the prayer. Now, after hearing about my family's negative experience

with CPS, you might be concerned about what CPS could do to your family, and rightly so.

But did you know that it is possible to reduce your likelihood of being reported just by

educating yourself

about your state's laws? In addition to offering legal defense for Christian homeschool families,

our sponsor, Heritage Defense, has a law and policy vault, which is free to the public.

You don't even have to be a member. The Vault has summaries of laws in all 50

states covering a variety of issues ranging from vaccines for homeschoolers to newborn health

policies. Understanding the law helps families make better decisions and reduces the likelihood

of being falsely reported. Go to my. dot heritage defense.org slash access the vault.
