Totally admire you all for your courage to create and your commitment to your values. They don’t often go hand in hand and it shines through your content. Sounds like a beautiful setup for this era of your family. ❤️

I am frequently surprised and blessed to see how similar your values and expression are to my own. I feel like I have extended family out in Washington!

My father taught at St. John's College in Santa Fe, NM for most of his career, covering the classics and "The Great Conversation". That perspective has a way of impacting how you see and interact with the world. Having had that perspective transformed by an intimate relationship with Christ and His personality, I really appreciate anyone who attempts to look and feel deeply, and live according to the conviction that brings.

You guys are living the answer to the problems our society is facing, day-in, and day-out. I am excited to see the fruit of your efforts in the lives of your children. They will need to be very strong for their generation. You have a wonderful quiver of arrows, honed straight and true, and with a good point. They should hit their target when aimed correctly! Nice work!

Thank you, and God's blessings on your family,

As a formerly public-schooled-mom stumbling through classically homeschooling her kids, can I just say what a BLESSING it is that your husband has been gifted and trained and led to lend both hands in the education of y’all’s children! Don’t feel weird about naming your blessings! What a gift!

Also here for whatever tidbits of wisdom you and Stuart can share about how to teach these yahoos. 🙃

I’m asking him to start his own Substack to share his wisdom on this subject!

What a relief to find re-alignment and focus in this current season. You’re both such hard workers and I love that you’re each able to work within your gifting for the overall sake of your family and to the glory of God. I hope that this brings a fresh layer of peace, energy and inspiration to you. We all benefit from your work, Shaye!! Thank you for sharing this.

Bravo, Shaye, for sharing something so intimate. I admire that Stuart is using his gifts so close to home in this way. I value classical Christian education, so I enjoy hearing about a family so committed to it.

I would really enjoy hearing Stuart talk about classical Christian education and what you all are doing in more detail.

Thanks!
