March 18, 2026 · 29 min

Show notes

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.
