Zan Tyler Podcast: Thriving in Your Homeschool

What happens when homeschooling feels too hard to carry, but too important to let go? Zan Tyler welcomes Caleb and Tamara Wheat, known as Doin’ It with a Dozen, to share their remarkable story of loss, love, blended family life, and returning to homeschooling after a year in private school. From the everyday logistics of PB&J sandwich-making to the bigger questions of grief, discipleship, and family life, Caleb and Tamara share the deeper encouragement every homeschool parent needs: you do not have to do it perfectly for it to be worth it. Choose the hard that keeps your children’s hearts close.

As we are poised to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American freedom, don’t miss this riveting discussion of the history of homeschool freedom, and the very real current threats we are now experiencing around the country. At the Homeschool Montana convention, Zan joined fellow homeschool freedom pioneers Mike Farris, Heidi St. John, and Steve White for a candid panel discussion about where we've been, what we almost lost, and what's at stake right now. Zan shares the moment a state superintendent threatened her with jail, the midnight prayer that turned a legislative battle around, and her urgent warning that homeschool freedom is never as secure as it feels. Gain fresh courage to stand firm, show up, and pass this hard-won legacy of freedom to the next generation.

Are your children ready to stand firm in a culture that pulls them in every direction?

In this keynote presentation at the 2026 Montana Homeschool Convention, Zan Tyler traces the thread from Harvard's Christ-centered beginnings to today's cultural confusion and shows why biblical worldview training matters more than ever. Through personal stories and decades of homeschool experience, she encourages parents to stay rooted in God's Word and raise children who know God, think biblically, and serve Him faithfully wherever He calls them.

How quickly can homeschool freedom disappear?

Zan Tyler and Caleb Price examine two headline-making developments in Connecticut and New Hampshire that reveal just how quickly homeschool laws can change. They also discuss why discipleship remains at the heart of homeschooling and the responsibility parents have to steward freedom well. As they reflect on the future of home education, Zan and Caleb highlight why homeschool graduates continue to demonstrate the academic, leadership, and character qualities our culture desperately needs. Freedom is never guaranteed. It must be understood, protected, and passed on to the next generation.
