Sunday on The Robert Scott Bell Show:
In this special Sunday conversation edition of The Robert Scott Bell Show, I sit down with the amazing Lesley Goodgasell, and we get into a deep dive about homeschooling, parenting, and the value of real education. We start by reflecting on our recent Zoom AMA with our Patreon community, sharing how much we appreciate the supportive, family-like atmosphere that’s grown around the show. It’s clear that our listeners are more than just an audience—they’re a part of this journey with us, and that camaraderie is what keeps us going.
Lesley and I then dig into the nuts and bolts of homeschooling, especially in today’s world where so many parents are considering it but might feel overwhelmed. Lesley shares her own experiences of homeschooling her children, breaking down some of the myths and misconceptions that surround the practice. From the challenges of balancing work and teaching to the flexibility it offers in tailoring education to each child’s unique needs, we cover it all. Lesley’s insights, drawn from both her professional background in education and her real-life experience, are invaluable for anyone considering taking the plunge into homeschooling.
As we wrap up, we talk about the importance of engaging with our kids on a deeper level—whether it’s through homeschooling or simply being more present in their education. We touch on the value of teaching critical thinking, encouraging curiosity, and the joy of learning outside the confines of traditional classrooms. Lesley’s approach to raising and educating her children is a testament to the power of doing things differently, and it’s an inspiring conversation that will resonate with anyone who’s ever questioned the status quo of our education system.
Special Guest Lesley Goodgasell
Married to my husband, James, for 17.5 years. I have 6 daughters ranging from ages 7 up to 16. I have homeschooled for 12-13 years.We aim to live a self-sustainable lifestyle. I support my husband’s residential building company that is PRAYERFULLY transitioning to custom cabinetry and furniture making. We are organic and gluten free. We live in an RV. YES, all 8 of us with 2 labs and a cat. We have 10 acres and a house torn down to the studs. I currently farm 25 chickens, 5 guinea, 2 bunnies, 4 mini Nubian goats, 3 Holstein/Angus heifers, 4 sheep and 1 ram lamb (with the potential of 3 more lambs any day now). I believe in healing power of prayer. I believe the body was created to keep us alive and there are key essential nutrients our bodies require to do so and NO ONE is taught these, unless you’ve learned from a very FEW select in this world. I believe in freedom. And more than anything I live every day of my life to please YHVH, my Elohim, Creator, Lover of my soul, Giver of Life, Healer of the broken and Strong Tower in which I find refuge.
Remember Friends, The Power to Heal is Yours!
