Episode Synopsis

AMDG. The McMahon family lives by 4 H’s: Homeschooling, Homesteading, 4H itself, and Home births. The McMahon parents Ted and Cindi discuss how they have utilized Kolbe’s offerings for their children; every child needs something different and Kolbe has been there to help. The family reveals their homesteading and 4H operations, and how they’ve balanced running a small farm with their homeschool education. Lastly, Cindi walks through her home birth journey and what prompted her to opt out of the hospital-birth norm. As a bonus, recent Kolbe graduate Jeremiah discloses the results of his college debate between UMary or Christendom.
