There are many moms and dads who have finished the homeschool journey and experienced its rich rewards. This week, Mike Smith interviews his wife, Elizabeth, who home educated three of their four children. Looking back on the purpose, experiences, and sacrifices of homeschooling, she provides renewed perspective. Program Listing: Guest:
