Yes, we have a TV.
No, we're not from Utah.
Yes, we know "how it works."
No, we aren't rich.
Yes, they're all ours.
BY TODAY'S STANDARDS, we're an anomaly. An endangered species. We're caucasion. Christian. Conservative. We are as flawed as the next. But we do not presume to erase attainable heights because we fall short.
In the interests of a fully-human excellence, becoming the best versions of ourselves, we’re about a home-culture forged by classical education. That means we seek to be guided by an obective truth and good we do not presume to create, but in Whom we are created. The value of which is punctuated by every biography ever told, every life ever lived: We can’t so much break the moral law, only be broken against it. (Cecil B. DeMille) This is applicable to everyone. Regardless of race, gender or creed.
Accordingly, we are about being blessed blessers. Difference-makers. Kingdom builders. With ultimate respect for every person's freedom.
BEFORE YOU DISMISS US AS "CHRISTO-FASCIST," home school for us was about forging them in virtue. To have great hearts for all others. To know and personally own their convictions. To become the best versions of themselves. Accordingly, each was offered top scholarships to colleges. For years they impacted many through a city-wide, weekly program they created. They gave keynote talks at small and large events. They were frequent guests on the radio. They created viral video content. They've loved and prayed over people young and old, poor and rich, black and white through so many occasions. Some with miraculous effects.
Their collective high school legacy includes running marathons, opening for Grammy-nominated artists, setting high school XC records, starring on club soccer teams, leading in musicals, and originating podcasts more popular than ESPN's... all really working their butts off at a variety of different jobs.
Mostly, as all above is marked by "worship," which means "to give worth," each came to discover and own a living relationship with Jesus Christ marked by a daily prayer life and pursuit of ever-greater holiness.
ALL SEEDS IN NEED OF CONSTANT CULTIVATION, as of a few weeks ago now all are adults. Here's a snapshot of where they're at:
- Seph (23) is a recording artist for Sony/Provident
- Dominic (18) is driving his "The Running Effect" podcast/company with major corporate sponsors, more popular than ESPN's
- John Paul (22), a top graduate of Hillsdale College, is working for an amazing firm in Austin Texas (Rex) that is a leading innovator in the real estate and technology nexus
- Grace (19) is a Catholic missionary soon to spend a year evangelizing with NET Scotland
- Anne Marie Stroud (25) is an amazing wife and mother, impacting so many as a social media influencer and "Crunchy" leader (married to Colin, a godly husband, father, business leader, and triathlon competitor)
- Catherine (21) exudes wisdom, purpose, and joy forged by illness, taking some time off from Hillsdale College to heal from mold toxicity
WE CARE SO MUCH about the capacity for real-human excellence that we began a non-profit movement committed to fostering it’s most noble, formidable, and irreplaceable capacity: marriage and family. (ILoveMyFamily.us) Whatever challenges you face, we're in this with you. We believe in you. We want to go further with you. Without judgment. With encouragement. Because nothing is more important. Marriage and family are the cornerstone of civilization.
