How can hymns help your children understand biblical truth and sound doctrine? In this episode of the Music in Our Homeschool Podcast, I’m sharing exactly how you can use hymns as a powerful teaching tool in your homeschool.

I’m Gena Mayo, a homeschool mom of eight, music educator, and the creator of the Great Hymns of the Faith online courses. Today, we’re diving deep into why hymns are so much more than “nice songs.” They are rich with theology, filled with Scripture, and can be a beautiful way to weave faith into your daily homeschool routine.

We’ll walk through:

  • Essential Christian doctrines you can teach through hymns (like grace, salvation, the Trinity, and more)
  • Practical ways to study hymn lyrics for truth and meaning
  • Real-life examples from hymns like Amazing Grace, It Is Well With My Soul, Be Thou My Vision, and others
  • How to incorporate hymns into handwriting, memorization, Bible study, and family worship

If you’ve ever longed for a simple, meaningful way to teach your kids about God’s character, salvation, and doctrine through music, this episode will give you the inspiration and practical steps to get started.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
