In this conversation, Dayle Annand and Joshua Spatha discuss the importance of discipleship within homeschooling families, the decline of organized religion, and the shift towards a more individualized spirituality. They explore the challenges of discerning truth in modern Christianity, the need for deeper understanding of scripture, and the significance of uncomplicated communication with God. Joshua emphasizes the importance of character over charisma in church leadership and the necessity of a personal relationship with God, free from the complexities often introduced by human traditions.
