Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology Discipleship: the Heart of Home Education (with Sheri Renno)
In this encouraging homeschool conversation I’m joined by veteran homeschool mom Sheri Renno to talk about faith-filled home education, relationships over academics, and persevering through the hard years. With over 15 years of homeschooling experience and ten children ranging from toddler to adult, Sheri shares practical wisdom shaped by real life, not idealized schedules.
Sheri reflects on how her approach to homeschooling has changed over time, moving from academically driven planning to a relationship-centered philosophy that values progress, peace, and long-term fruit. She shares why reading aloud became the heartbeat of her homeschool and how shared books created lasting family culture and meaningful conversations.
The conversation also explores the challenges of homeschooling, especially during seasons of exhaustion and uncertainty. Sheri speaks candidly about the early investment years when fruit felt invisible and how her husband’s encouragement played a crucial role in their perseverance.
Sheri shares her simple four-part homeschool routine, her approach to independence and checklists, and why she believes a peaceful home supports stronger learning. She also shares practical ways Christian families can disciple their children, including nightly Bible reading, weaving biblical history into academics, and modeling a sincere faith at home.
This chat is a gentle reminder that homeschooling is about way more than merely what our children know academically. Discipleship is the heart of home education.
