Aligned Hearts, Joy-Fueled Homeschooling

by Kami Harris

Aug 20, 2025

“Ever catch yourself thinking real discipleship means pouring out every last drop of energy before you’re allowed to rest?”

In this podcast episode and blog, I show you how to trade exhausting “never-say-no” habits for Christ-led balance.

In a nutshell

Let God set the pace (Mosiah 4:27), swapping Martha-style frenzy for Mary’s focused presence.
Check your motive: replace every have-to with a love-based choose-to.

Keep only the commitments the Spirit assigns—rest is covenant keeping.
Remember: your greatest curriculum is you.

With Joy
