The Great Shalom Podcast : Overcoming Learning Problems

Is it a good idea that parents teach civics? Shouldn't that be done by professionals? How is that working out for you? Deuteronomy 6 tasks parents with education. Even if you hire a private school or send your child to governments schools, still, in the end a parent is responsible. So, do we teach civics? Meaning ... the knowledge and training how to contribute to the common good by properly interfacing with the government. Let's consider that. What would civics consist in? The small child might have to share responsibility to clean up shared space. The moppet may learn to enforce non-bullying...

Let's review the principles of the founders. Here is an introduction, a primer. (Not to be confused with the New England primer that taught reading.) Returning to and understanding of the basic principle's of the founders is of great need. 1. Rights are given by God, not government. 2. Governments are given the power to protect the citizens. 3. Citizen should be freemen who hold government accountable to the original principles. 4. For this reason, all citizens must be able to read, so they can read the Bible, so they can be sure that the laws are following the Bible. Think how very different...

As a run-up to our 350th Independence Day, I thought it would be good to revisit some of our episodes related to that. Today: teaching your child civics. This vital education is entirely missing from our government schools -- intentionally so. Something else has been substituted: being a world citizen. Oh, that sounds great, but when you investigate, what has happened is an entire switch from Christian, American, community values. Even character training has been entirely erased. Instead of character, a training in tirggered feelings. Instead of moral and civic engagement, a weaponization of activism, whole based on feelings generated...

What do humans need most? God. Okay, and then water. Want to keep health? Regain health? Help your child? Great. Maybe start with getting pure water. And btw, given the food system in the USA, alkalinzed water would be wise. https://rumble.com/v7bjizo-tap-water-warning-why-millions-are-hydrating-with-toxic-dead-bio-mass.html?e9s=src_v1_mfp

Our most popular topic: activities to do with your children this summer. This year, we focus primarily on activities that go with our 250 anniversary of Independence Day. It was to Mrs. Elizabeth Willing Powell, a Quaker "hostess with the mostess," that Benjanim Franklin said, "A republic, if you can keep it." Whether we have the intelligence and character to keep a democratic republic as opposed to some form of slavery is very much in question. What we can do as mothers is to be sure that our children know history and have some exposure to proper civics. freedom250.org Lots...

Simon Okwayo has visited Austin a couple of times that I know about. The first time, I was able to prevail upon him to come to the studio. He told some stories of his childhood. Amazing. Now, he grew up in Africa, in a situation with a lot less material abundance than we in the States had then and have now. But he and his family were believers. And as a young boy, he moved out on that faith. Very surprising result. Very inspiring. And it turned out that he was indicative of his life's work. He is known as...

I will tell you how to teach handwriting in this episode. This conversation was kicked off by a Facebook discussion. As usual some mother was reaching out to ?? friends ?? about something she was concerned about. More than usual, she got a long list of really bad advice. So, will let you know. Then, will discuss other options: Testing, finding people who know, getting mentoring. Not assuming the standards of government schools, not trying to figure out an argument where both sides do not know what they are talking about, and not just listening to anyone. And not shutting your ears...

Reject the Lie of "LD" - There are no "Learning Disabilities" there are only problems to be solved. There may be problems, challenges, and obstacles. We go over obstacles. We meet challenges, and we solve problems. Jesus is the Way the Truth and The Life. He is the way forward. He is the Truth as opposed to the lie. He is the Life, when the world would invite us to death. I notice that a lot of very successful men, with careers that require public speaking started out with "stuttering" or "speech impediment." And they overcame. The Lord would bless...

Back when we were on the radio, one of the most respected doctors in Austin visited us . Dr. Ted Edwards in large part can be credited with starting health focus in Austin, bu creating the Hills Gym. Then, he was the leading women's health doctor, when Westlake ladies and their daughters came asking for hepl with hormones. He was the the first in Austinj who provided human clone hormones. Today, he talks with us about the importance of foregivness in healing and about de-tox cleanses. Today, everyone is talking about de-tox! Just now I saw on Facebook a claim that...

Do you wonder about miraculous healing? What would YOUR doctor say? Do you wonder if any doctors know about this? Do you wonder if all this hype is a figment of pentecostalism? Or do other people experience miraculous healing (and only pentecostal/charismatic people free free to talk about it?) How about... would you like to hear from a Baptist MD? Here you go. Dr. Ted L. Edwards, Hills Medical Group. He came into the studio with me about in 2009. Are you not ready to go along with John G. Lake who said, "Flush your meds down the toilet and...
