Fostering a Grace-Filled Educational Balance Through Work, Study, and Service | Episode 308

Podcast

Rachel Winchester welcomes Jason and Bre Kemp, experienced homeschool parents from California, to share their family’s journey with their five children. The conversation centers on fostering a balanced approach to education through the “three-legged stool” concept: work, study, and service. Jason and Bre discuss how they incorporate daily work and service into their children’s routines, including outdoor chores, cooking, and serving at their church. They share how these experiences have instilled discipline, responsibility, and gratitude in their children in an ever-evolving way as they age.

In this episode, you will hear about:

Why a truly holistic education must include work, study, and service—not just academics
How consistent, meaningful work shapes our children’s character and brings needed discipline to their days
The natural way service in the local church trains our kids in humility, gratitude, and servant leadership
How a simple, structured morning routine can bring clarity and purpose, especially in the teen years
The importance of playing the long game in training and learning the difference between childishness and foolishness
How cheering our children on, rather than demanding perfection, helps them take joyful ownership in blessing their family
