Homeschooling isn’t just an educational choice — it’s a calling, a lifestyle, and a pathway to raising children who thrive in mind, heart, and spirit. In this episode, I sit down with Kristina Heagh‑Avritt, founder of Vibrant Family Education and co‑host of the Bringing Education Home podcast. With over 30 years of experience in teaching, mentoring, and family development, Kristina has helped countless parents create joyful, values‑based learning environments where their children can grow with confidence, curiosity, and purpose.After nearly three decades in traditional classrooms, Kristina saw firsthand how overcrowding, rigid policies, and “teach‑to‑the‑test” systems limited a child’s true potential. Her turning point came during the pandemic, when she realized her greatest impact wasn’t inside the classroom — it was in empowering parents to lead their children’s learning with creativity, connection, and freedom.Today, Kristina teaches families how to reimagine education at home through hands‑on learning, real‑life experiences, and timeless values like compassion, integrity, and resilience. Her heart is to help parents build deeper relationships with their children while honoring each child’s unique learning style.✨ If you’re a homeschooling parent, a new homeschooler, or someone exploring alternative education, this conversation will bless you.If this podcast encourages you, teaches you, or helps you feel less alone on your homeschooling or purpose journey, I want to invite you to partner with the mission.

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that so many people are curious about, confused about, or even a little afraid of — AI.Some think it’s replacing creativity.Some think it’s dangerous.Some think it’s cheating.And others are using it every day without even realizing it.But here’s the truth:AI is simply a tool — nothing more, nothing less. Just like calculators, Google, or the internet. It doesn’t replace your God-given gifts. It doesn’t replace the Holy Spirit. It doesn’t replace your purpose. It simply helps you build, learn, and create with more clarity and confidence.In this episode, we break down:What AI actually is (in simple, real-world language)How AI works behind the scenesWhy AI is not cheating — it’s supportThe different types of AI and what they’re used forHow entrepreneurs, creators, and everyday people can use AIWhy prompting matters and how to get better resultsHow AI fits into faith, purpose, and callingThis episode will help you understand AI without fear, confusion, or overwhelm — and show you how to use it as a tool to accelerate what God already placed inside you.Follow the Facebook Group: Faith Purpose & FreedomFind me on FacebookIf this podcast blesses you and you feel led to support the mission, you can donate here:PayPal: paypal.me/faithfullyblessed87Your support helps me continue creating free faith-centered content for the community.

In this episode, you’ll hear the extraordinary testimony of Irene Vaksberg — a living, breathing reminder of what God can do when everything in life seems shattered beyond repair.Born outside the U.S. and brought here as a child, Irene grew up facing bullying, rejection, and the pressure to fit in. She built a beautiful life for herself a career as a hairstylist, a husband, and children. But everything changed the day she was involved in a devastating accident that brought her face‑to‑face with God Himself. In that moment, He told her she had to return… her children still needed her.What followed was a season she never expected: confusion, divorce, rebuilding, a thriving salon, and then another life‑altering car accident that shook her physically, mentally, and spiritually. She lost everything — her business, her stability, her identity. For six long years, she prayed for God to take her home. Doctors told her there was nothing more they could do. She felt empty, broken, and done.But God wasn’t done.A miracle found her — a simple patch that began to calm the shaking in her body, lift the pain, and restore her strength. She became part of a medical study because her healing was so profound. Her life was transformed from the inside out, and today she is on a mission to help others encounter the same God who rescued her.This is a story of survival, surrender, supernatural healing, and purpose. This is what happens when God steps into the middle of your storm.If you are struggling, you can find Irene Vaksberg on Facebook, Instagram, and youtube. I encourage you to reach out to her for information.If Irene’s testimony touched your heart and you feel led to support the mission of this podcast, you can partner with us by giving at paypal.me/faithfullyblessed87.
