108. Martin Vervloet and Homeschooling with Intention

In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Martin Vervloet from Alberta. Martin is a homeschool father of 11 who preaches the gospel, works construction, and gives a lot of service. Martin shares his experiences as a father of a large family, including being a grandfather to 18 (and counting), homeschooling since the mid-1990s. He discusses the influence of faith, the importance of parental involvement, and the flexibility homeschooling provided for their large family. Some key highlights from our conversation include the following: 

• Homeschooling is a lifestyle that prioritizes family, character, and lifelong learning.
• Parental involvement and adaptability are crucial to success.
• Homeschool challenges are inevitable, but so are unique opportunities for growth and connection.
• Faith, communication, and a supportive partnership between parents make the homeschool journey sustainable and rewarding.

Tune in for an inspiring, practical, and heartfelt conversation that offers wisdom for homeschoolers, parents, and anyone interested in intentional family life.
