    1KHO 842: The Daily Grind Is Optional | Lindsay Meredith, Little House Farm
    Jun 29 2026
    Some families are discovering that childhood doesn't have to feel like a race. In this conversation with educator and founder of Little House Farm, Lindsay Meredith, we talk about what happens when you trade packed schedules, endless testing, and constant rushing for long afternoons outside, meaningful books, deep friendships, and learning that children actually look forward to. Lindsay shares how she left the traditional classroom to build something completely different—and why families are driving from miles away to be part of it. Whether you homeschool, send your kids to school, or you're simply wondering if family life has become more exhausting than it should be, this episode offers a refreshing vision of what childhood can become.

    1KHO 841: Wise People Watch Birds | Kevin Burrell, Considering Sparrows
    Jun 28 2026
    There is so much happening right above our heads that we never even notice. In this conversation with pastor and author Kevin Burrell, we talk about why Jesus told us to consider the birds and what we're missing when we don't. From crows that bring gifts to families that keep bird lists together, this conversation is full of fascinating stories, but it's really about something much bigger: paying attention. It turns out wisdom isn't found by rushing through life. Sometimes it begins with simply looking up.
