What is the ultimate goal of homeschooling?

In this Father’s Day episode, Maeve sits down with journalist, author, and homeschool father Alex Newman to discuss faith, discipleship, education, and the responsibility parents have in shaping the next generation.

Alex shares his own journey from a nominal Catholic upbringing to becoming one of America’s most outspoken advocates for Christian education. Together, Maeve and Alex explore the historical roots of government schooling, the importance of cultivating curiosity in children, and why fathers play a uniquely influential role in the spiritual formation of their families.

Most importantly, Alex offers encouragement to weary homeschool parents who may feel behind, reminding us that discipleship—not perfection—is the true mission.

Whether you’re a veteran homeschooler or just beginning your journey, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to keep the main thing the main thing.
