The Truth About Homeschooling | Interview With Israel Wayne | Father and Friend #interview

In this powerful episode of Father and Friend, host Tim Anderson sits down with Israel Wayne—father of 11, author, speaker, and founder of Family Renewal—to discuss homeschooling, fatherhood, overcoming a broken past, and how the Bible provides a roadmap for all of life and family. Israel shares his inspiring journey from an abusive childhood to raising a thriving, God-focused family, offering practical wisdom for dads who want to lead their homes God’s way.

He explains how the Word of God is not compartmentalized, but a complete guide for every aspect of life—from marriage and parenting to education and discipline. Drawing from his books such as Raising Them Up: Parenting For Christians, Education: Does God Have an Opinion?, and Pitchin’ a Fit: Overcoming Angry and Stressed Out Parenting, Israel outlines three key biblical principles that shaped his family:

1. Daily Family Bible Time – The importance of consistently reading and applying Scripture together.

2. Homeschooling and Father-Led Education – Why dads are called to take responsibility for both spiritual and academic discipleship.

3. Father-Led Discipline – How biblical discipline led to peace and unity in his home.

Israel also shares insights from his upcoming Christian philosophy curriculum, discusses his ministry FamilyRenewal.org , and reflects on what it means to lead multiple generations through godly example. His story is a living testimony of how God redeems brokenness to build families that honor Him.
