Welcome to Lead Your Homeschool Co-op! Do you desire a Christian community with families that fit? Do you find yourself up late at night googling “conflict resolution” and “how to build a community”? Do you dream of a sustainable homeschool group only to feel discouraged when policies fail, logistics get in the way or a conflict comes up again?

Hello! We are the Homeschool Community Builders.Together, we have more than 30 years of experience in leading successful homeschool groups. But at one time, we too were in co-ops that did not work for our families. We needed deep relationships and a community that would help our families grow in faith,

In this podcast, we will help you create Christ-centered policies, establish a close-knit culture, and develop strong leadership skills so that you can serve your community well.

    Jul 2 2026

    Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, "That is NOT what I meant!" Or found yourself leading a team, parenting your kids, or navigating conflict only to repeatedly feel like everyone seems to be hearing something completely different from what I am trying to say?

  • Episode 149: What Every Leader Needs to be Successful. It's Not What You Think.
    Jun 20 2026

    Leaders, have you ever felt like you needed someone to talk to but there was no one you felt you could confide in? Maybe you're wrestling with a difficult decision, looking for fresh ideas, or simply wondering if anyone else understands the weight you're carrying. Who do you go to when your board is tired too? What if one conversation with another leader could save you hours of frustration, provide resources you didn't know existed, or simply remind you that you're not alone?

    In this episode, we're talking about why every homeschool leader needs connection beyond their own board and how community with other leaders can make this journey worth it!

  • Episode 148: The Difference Between a Leader and a Person in Charge
    Jun 11 2026

    When you think of a leader, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Someone who is charismatic? Someone who can take charge? Maybe someone who seems to have it all together or is exceptionally smart?

    We often mistake these qualities for leadership. While they can be helpful, they don't define a leader. True leaders come in all shapes, personalities, and backgrounds.

    When we look at Scripture, we see leaders who were bold, leaders who were hesitant, leaders who were gifted communicators, and leaders who felt completely inadequate. What made them effective wasn't their personality or natural ability—it was their willingness to trust God, follow His leading, and faithfully serve others.

    In this episode, we're going to explore three biblical characteristics that set great leaders apart.

    Thanks for listening! We help homeschool leaders grow lasting community built on Christ, connection, and strong leadership.
