Lauren Bordeaux, one of the founders of HomeschoolHQ, joins Emilie to chat about being a cheerleader for homeschooling, finding great resources and community on the HomeschoolHQ app and they even talk a little bit about "road schooling". This is a fun conversation that you won't want to miss!

HomeschoolHQ was founded by two homeschooling families who are passionate about making homeschooling accessible to every family.
Lauren Bordeaux, a homeschooling mom of three young children, recognized that homeschooling families in her area often found classes and other resources by word of mouth. She spent too much time searching for activities and knew that there must be a better way to discover what was available in her area. Lauren realized that an app to connect parents with resources could help make homeschooling a reality for more families.
From this simple idea, Lauren and her husband, André, began building the revolutionary HomeschoolHQ app together with their friends, the Statons.Have a question, comment or suggestion for the show? E-mail Emilie at [email protected]. She'd love to hear from you!

David and Leslie Nunnery are the founders of Teach Them Diligently. Convinced of the Holy Spirit’s leading them to home educate their four children in 2010, they stepped out in faith. They were called to start Teach Them Diligently in 2011 as God impressed on their hearts a need for discipleship-focused, family-strengthening events, and they have since hosted more than fifteen TTD Conventions across the United States allowing them to share their ministry with nearly a million people. They also minister to families throughout the year through Teach Them Diligently 365, their written articles, podcasts, and more. They are eager to get to know your family soon.

She is an expert in Gen Z educational methodology and psychosocial development, and she enjoys facilitating local church and community workshops to help parents, teachers, and faith-based institutions better equip the next generation for academic success, relational resilience, and career readiness.
She has now been married to her British husband, Adrian, for 33 years. They have two intelligent and compassionate homeschool graduates, Ethan and Cymone, who are their true résumé.
