Not Consumed has a missionary study using those YWAM books! “To Every Nation” goes through 12 of the missionaries. They also have second one that goes through another 12.
I love your perspective on homeschooling through high school. Just because they “can” work independently doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy learning together with them in some subjects. Great encouragement!!
I’m planning on using Fruit of the Tongue and To Every Nation from Not Consumed and am super excited to try this in my home. I’ve been looking at Beautiful Feet for history this year while we wait for the new TGTB History to release. I would love to see a flip through of Beautiful Feet. You always do a wonderful job and show just the things I’m interested in seeing.
I love all of your suggestions! Your kids seem well behaved and smart. I definitely love your opinions. My girls are only in kinder and first (next school year). I’ll have to look through old videos, but if there is anyway you can reflect on beginning homeschool for the kids? And I definitely purchased your bundle right now!
I would love to see how you schedule all of these subjects during your morning routine. I have a 4th grader and a soon to be preschooler and I am having a hard time figuring out how to work it all in.
We have been doing the Not Consumed Bible Studies and thoroughly enjoying them! We have the same ones. We also got the Sibling Journals that are lots of fun! I just saw that book of Psalms also on Rooted in Rest YT channel today and thought that it looked great and now you also show it. I might have to order it! Love the ywam books!!!!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ amen to still teaching and being involved with high schoolers!! I LOVE homeschooling my high schoolers! Just graduated our first of 6! One of the biggest joys and blessings of my life!❤️
@@SDaulton sorry, somehow I missed your message. My oldest two (13, 11) had their own books and it was super sweet to see their responses. I actually tore some pages out to keep in their memory books. But this could definitely be done as a family with one book, especially if your kids are younger.
I love your plan for History. And I'm excited about the YWAM bundle, I've wanted to read some to my kids but was overwhelmed by the choices and knowing which books to start with!
I'm so excited you shared about the Not consumed studies. I have been wanting to give them a try and with the sale I decided to go for it! Can't wait. 💙
I absolutely love videos like this! My kids are 2nd and 6th grade so seeing curriculum that I can look into later when it’s needed is such a blessing. Thank you for you amazing content!
My kids LOVED Amy Carmichael! They are now 1st and 3rd grade and loved it last year! They loved the Torchlighters videos that go along with the books! We are starting Corrie Ten Boom next!
We did the Fruit of the Tongue last year and absolutely love Not consumed!!! We are gonna do My brothers keeper this year and pick another as well, she has a cool notebooking thing that goes along with the missionary stories that looks amazing
Thank you :) just ordered the bundle , and so excited 😆 to use it next year. We are also using Beautiful Feet but the Modern US and World curriculum and the books it comes with for read aloud for my ( 4th and 7th grader next year). Thank you so much for alllll your videos ! Since I just jumped in mid year into the homeschooling world and without any planning… you have been an answered prayer straight from the Lord to me personally. I have a long way to go but your videos have been a great help and so far I am so grateful to be able to teach my girls even though I started later later ❤️🙏❤️🙌!
I’m so excited, our bundle just arrived yesterday! Almost can’t wait for next school year to start them! May have to read one over the summer! Thank you so much for putting this bundle together, I know it will enrich our lives 💗☺️
We have been using Long Story Short by Marty Machowski and I love it! I plan on us doing the ones you mentioned and Old Story New once we finish the one we’re on.
I can't wait to hear how you like Beautiful Feet Books! We love it. We use the teacher's guide as just a guide, and I love that they make that clear in it, that all they put in it is not necessary, but suggestions.
So excited for new curricula!!! Would love to see a flip through and a prep of the new TGTB. I had a system for how we set up. But, now that the new ones are bound, I’d love to see if you make changes to how you prep.
I think I’m going to get a few of those bible studies for my girls! They look great! Our curriculum includes Bible but it’s more of reading through the Bible start to finish. Which is great! But I want to add something a little more in depth. And I’m loving those character studies.
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing. So do you pick something to start (like one of the Not Consumed studies) and then when it's finished, move on to the next thing? Or do you do a little bit of a few different things each day?
Ashlee, another really good book to do as a read aloud is God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew who smuggled Bibles behind the Iron Curtain. It was amazing to read in light of government overreach and where we find our country at present. I love the Heroes of History and the Christian Heroes too. I am reading Lillian Trasher right now. I read Corrie ten Boom and Amy Carmichael, both very good. I bought Corrie ten Boom's The Hiding Place as well, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. There's always sooo many books to read!
I actually came across two of the Christian Heroes Then & Now books while looking through my local used book store. They were closing (SAD) and having a half off sale so I snatched them up! One of them was Gladys Aylward!
Hello. I was wondering if you could give an update about the Beautiful Feet history curriculum? Curious how it is going and if it is difficult to get the reading in with everything else children need to do for school? Thank you so much for all of the information you share!
You are going to LOVEEEEE not consumed Bible studies. They are SO GOOD. They remind me of Jen Wilkins studies- if you have ever done any of hers. If not I highly recommend her Bible studies for personal study- not for the kiddos. Def a mom study. But gooooood stuff
I absolutely loved what you said in relation to independence and teaching highschoolers. I absolutely love the curriculum we have been using however it tends in my opinion to push too much independence too soon and has them working almost completely independently in high school which is really not what I want so I’m going to try to alter it to be more family style if this doesn’t work I will have to change
Not sure if I've mentioned this before or not, but I've recently found the series 'Gods Generals.' These are stories of men and women who were used in amazing ways for God. They have 1 huge bk for adults or indiv books(featuring 1 person at a time) for kids n teens. There are also videos on TH-cam with same info. So inspiring! I love all your Bible picks btw...going to try the Ology this yr.
Have you ever looked into Character Concepts by the Boyer Family? The author of the For you they signed is Marylin Boyer - she has amazing parenting advice in her Character Concepts channel. I have been so blessed by their resources - a LOT of character training, and a lot of history, even a lot of audio books. I feel not many people use them and is SO sad because I know we can learn so much. The latest video has a ton of practical advice on how to shepherd our our children’s hearts.
I love all of these ideas, but How on earth do you get through all of this? I always have high hopes and have bought SO MUCH curriculum that we never got past the second chapter because there just isn’t enough time. We always end up just doing math, LA & read aloud. I’d love some suggestions on scheduling and flow of the day.
Thank you. Love learning more how I can serve my kids. Question, is there any other moms have have to work full time outside the home. I would love to learn ideas, tips, anything that you guys have on how I can make this work. I love watching her videos, I just wonder, "How does a DITL actually would look like for when the parent is not home 😔. I appreciate all your videos. Just wanted to get input, with your experience, would you still be able to do all this wonderful work with your kids and still be away from home working. Thank you
I want to add the history and hero series this year. Question - do you recommend starting with the youth series or the books you presented in the video? My kids will be 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade this upcoming year. Thanks so much for your input. I always appreciate your videos.
Thankbyou for your videos, they are so helpful and encouraging!!! Do you homeschool independently or through a charter school? Also does Shorman Math count for highschool and will it count towards college? I saw your post on Instagram and am considering doing it for my soon to be 9th grade son, it looks wonderful. We were doing Saxon, watching videos but Shoreman sounds great that it grades for you! Thank you!
One thing you might want to look into is My American Storybook series by Libraries of Hope (Well Educated Heart) it’s a great historic read aloud. It tells history from the mouths of those who lived it!
Hello, this is my first year homeschooling and I am also a “new believer”. We are currently using TGTB curriculum and have enjoyed it. I knew I made the right decision to homeschool when his curriculum had him memorize a poem about God and he asked if he was even allowed to say God. My son is 10 and I have now realized/wished I started earlier. However, my question to anyone here is how do I teach my son about religion if 1. I’m still learning myself and 2. if he is constantly rebelling against it? I don’t want to force or push to hard because I feel that he would just rebel more but also he will never learn about God if he refuses to listen. I have tried using the Action Bible since he loves comic books and it’s available to him at all times but I can’t even get him to open it. He is finally comfortable saying and hearing text about God when it comes up in his curriculum and he showed a interest in the Story of David and Goliath when I brought it up (I didn’t mention it was a story from the Bible until the end otherwise he wouldn’t of wanted to hear it) and he said he liked the story but still refuses to listen to any others. Does anyone have recommendations or advice to find a way to teach him while I’m still learning myself? Anything is welcome.
I’m also a new believer and recently switching a lot of curriculum over to TGATB. But, we’re also doing an actual bible curriculum as well. When my kids are older I plan on doing the Not Consumed study guides for the YWAM missionary books, other bible studies, and a lot of the resources Ashlee has shared before. BUT for now what we are loving (and I am learning SO much) is the homeschool edition of the Answers in Genesis bible curriculum. It’s what they teach in Sunday school, but formatted for homeschool. (Answers in Genesis is who does Masterbooks, the Ark Encounter, etc) There will be 4 years, going chronologically through the Bible. The first 2 years (Genesis-Joseph and Moses-Hosea) are out now with year 3 coming out soon. There is a teachers guide you read (with extra info for us) as well as worksheets and tests. There is K-1, 2-3 and 4-5. Even if you didn’t do the worksheets but just used the teachers guide as a read aloud, I think it would be a great addition. It has you read scripture (as in, pull out your Bible or pull up your Bible app) as you go through it. You could easily expand upon it all and add in extra bible studies, but for us, it’s providing a great foundation - making things make sense with the details and the big picture!
Also - use this summer to get him involved in church. He either can still attend VBS or volunteer, and could soon go to a middle school summer camp with the church and/or attend youth group. I think seeing other kids (boys, especially) his age excited about God will let him be more comfortable. My son is only 7.5 but he loves watching Superbook and shows like ‘The Wild Brothers’. On my list is also to read the Pilgrim’s Progress (there’s different versions). Another thing I’ve noticed/heard is to make it a point of having your kids see YOU read the Bible and speak about God. My son knows I’m a new believer and I think that makes it more accessible for him. Praying for you!
I have two girls who will share a sonlight core.. I have never used it before they are 1st and 3rd grade I’m hoping it won’t be too overwhelming but we will be using g and b for the rest
Hey 👋🏽 Wondering if you have ever or would ever consider doing (and charging for) phone consults for homeschool mamas like myself who have questions and need guidance, advice, etc, that is too much to do via TH-cam comments? I’ve probably watched at least 50 of your videos in the last 6 to 9 months and I have often thought, if only I could have a phone consult with you for like an hour and I could ask you more in-depth questions to certain things you covered that I’m struggling to get guidance on. You definitely have very specific strengths as a homeschool mama and some of them happen to be in areas that I am not as strong; and I just think it would be so incredibly beneficial to be able to chat with you for just a little bit and ask you some of my questions. I know that there’s a couple TH-cam homeschool mamas who do occasionally do phone consult but I don’t remember who they are or how to even find them 😆. However you’re one of my all-time faves so I would prefer to chat with you if at all possible. It’s totally OK if it’s a no, I just thought I would at least ask. Thanks so much for being such a blessing to so many of us! ♥️
I bought Wonderful and was excited about it but we were very bored with it and it was in our garage sale a month later :(. Maybe we did something wrong but it didn’t hold any of our interest.
With the Christian Heros books, what age is appropriate for those books? The website says 10 and up, do you agree with that, or would a 7 year old enjoy them as well?
I’m noticing now on the science units they say grade 3-8 instead of K to 8, does that mean there will be units for the K-2 instead ? Great videos! I want the book of John for myself
They have a new science curriculum called ‘little hearts and hands’ - the first of 3 is already out now (field and flowers, I think it’s called) - but I’ve also heard you could do the new science with younger ages and just adapt the work
Not Consumed has a missionary study using those YWAM books! “To Every Nation” goes through 12 of the missionaries. They also have second one that goes through another 12.
I love your perspective on homeschooling through high school. Just because they “can” work independently doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy learning together with them in some subjects. Great encouragement!!
I love the Christian Heroes books!! My son is currently a YWAM missionary. Amazing and powerful stories of faith at all costs!! ❤️
I’m planning on using Fruit of the Tongue and To Every Nation from Not Consumed and am super excited to try this in my home. I’ve been looking at Beautiful Feet for history this year while we wait for the new TGTB History to release. I would love to see a flip through of Beautiful Feet.

Corrie Tenboom was one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. It’s incredible.
Agreed! I cried reading that out loud to my kids. We did it 3 years ago, and her story will always be a part of me!
We LOVE the Not Consumed devotions! 💜
Not consumed is great! We did my brother's keeper a few years ago, really enjoyed it!
I love all of your suggestions! Your kids seem well behaved and smart. I definitely love your opinions. My girls are only in kinder and first (next school year). I’ll have to look through old videos, but if there is anyway you can reflect on beginning homeschool for the kids?
And I definitely purchased your bundle right now!
I would love to see how you schedule all of these subjects during your morning routine. I have a 4th grader and a soon to be preschooler and I am having a hard time figuring out how to work it all in.
We have done almost all of the Not consumed Bible studies and absolutely love them!!! They are wonderful!
We have been doing the Not Consumed Bible Studies and thoroughly enjoying them! We have the same ones. We also got the Sibling Journals that are lots of fun! I just saw that book of Psalms also on Rooted in Rest YT channel today and thought that it looked great and now you also show it. I might have to order it!
Love the ywam books!!!!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ amen to still teaching and being involved with high schoolers!! I LOVE homeschooling my high schoolers! Just graduated our first of 6! One of the biggest joys and blessings of my life!❤️
Love the YWAM books. George Mueller was one of the ones that really changed our lives, so so good. We also loved Corrie Ten Boom.
We just finished Corrie Ten Boom. Wow! Such a great book packed with so many lessons. I even cried at the end.
George Muller is one of our family’s favorites!!
Yes!! George Mueller remains our favorite one.
I love those Bible Journals. Those are so neat copywork and notes. Thanks for sharing.
We LOVE the Not Consumed company and products! So excited to see that you will be utilizing their studies!
Not Consumed products are wonderful!! We especially loved My Brother’s Keeper.
I’ve been looking at this. Do you think it’s necessary for everyone to have their own book if we’re going through it together as a family?
@@SDaulton sorry, somehow I missed your message. My oldest two (13, 11) had their own books and it was super sweet to see their responses. I actually tore some pages out to keep in their memory books. But this could definitely be done as a family with one book, especially if your kids are younger.

I'm so excited you shared about the Not consumed studies. I have been wanting to give them a try and with the sale I decided to go for it! Can't wait. 💙
Thank you for the bundle!! I ordered it for my daughter who will be in the 6th grade. My husband and I are researching homeschooling her.
I absolutely love videos like this! My kids are 2nd and 6th grade so seeing curriculum that I can look into later when it’s needed is such a blessing. Thank you for you amazing content!
My kids LOVED Amy Carmichael! They are now 1st and 3rd grade and loved it last year! They loved the Torchlighters videos that go along with the books! We are starting Corrie Ten Boom next!
Not consumed is a "safe" Christian resource. I have loved all her Bible studies. ❤️
Thanks for the video. I have gotten so many good ideas from you.
We did the Fruit of the Tongue last year and absolutely love Not consumed!!! We are gonna do My brothers keeper this year and pick another as well, she has a cool notebooking thing that goes along with the missionary stories that looks amazing
Not Consumed is a wonderful ministry with great products!
Yay for Not Consumed!!! We are using My Brother’s Keeper this upcoming school year also!
We love the studies from Not Consumed!
We just got the Brothers Keeper for this year!! Also, love these hero tales. I just bought some!! Loved this video as always ! Have a great day!
Thank you :) just ordered the bundle , and so excited 😆 to use it next year. We are also using Beautiful Feet but the Modern US and World curriculum and the books it comes with for read aloud for my ( 4th and 7th grader next year).

We have been using Long Story Short by Marty Machowski and I love it! I plan on us doing the ones you mentioned and Old Story New once we finish the one we’re on.
I was going to say this as well. We have several by Marty that are waiting to be used when we complete Long Story Short 👏
I can't wait to hear how you like Beautiful Feet Books! We love it. We use the teacher's guide as just a guide, and I love that they make that clear in it, that all they put in it is not necessary, but suggestions.
So excited for new curricula!!! Would love to see a flip through and a prep of the new TGTB. I had a system for how we set up. But, now that the new ones are bound, I’d love to see if you make changes to how you prep.
I think I’m going to get a few of those bible studies for my girls! They look great! Our curriculum includes Bible but it’s more of reading through the Bible start to finish. Which is great! But I want to add something a little more in depth. And I’m loving those character studies.
I think you’ll really like them!❤️
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing.
So do you pick something to start (like one of the Not Consumed studies) and then when it's finished, move on to the next thing? Or do you do a little bit of a few different things each day?
We read 2-3 of those missionary/Christian heroes each year as well! All of these resources look amazing!

YWAM books are great too. We've done them from the beginning too.
Just ordered the bundle. I'm so excited!
I actually came across two of the Christian Heroes Then & Now books while looking through my local used book store. They were closing (SAD) and having a half off sale so I snatched them up! One of them was Gladys Aylward!
Just put in an order! I have always wondered about them and what an incredible opportunity.
Have you read George Muller? That was our favorite! Very life changing 🙌!
Thanks so much for sharing! Love love your choices!

Not sure if I've mentioned this before or not, but I've recently found the series 'Gods Generals.' These are stories of men and women who were used in amazing ways for God. They have 1 huge bk for adults or indiv books(featuring 1 person at a time) for kids n teens. There are also videos on TH-cam with same info. So inspiring! I love all your Bible picks btw...going to try the Ology this yr.
OH MY, I was just looking at those not consumed stuff and considering it
Thank you so much for the bundle, I already picked it up!!
I cannot wait to see what you think of Beautiful Feet Books! Will you be doing an in-depth look at this one?
Have you ever looked into Character Concepts by the Boyer Family? The author of the For you they signed is Marylin Boyer - she has amazing parenting advice in her Character Concepts channel.

I’d love some suggestions on scheduling and flow of the day.
Would you consider doing a comparison of the previous edition of Safety vs the new version as well as a flip through of the journal?
Thank you Ashlee!! Such great ideas
A good project would be to build grab bags for safety unit ☺️ by the way love your videos
Not Consumed is such a great curriculum, and Kim Sorgius is a wonderful woman! We did My Brother’s Keeper, and it is fantastic.
We just started c.s. Lewis Christian heroes book !
Couldn't wait to watch this!
I recently ordered the sep + co hard copy character cards!! So yay not just PDF 👏
Thank you. Love learning more how I can serve my kids.
Question, is there any other moms have have to work full time outside the home. I would love to learn ideas, tips, anything that you guys have on how I can make this work.

Thankbyou for your videos, they are so helpful and encouraging!!! Do you homeschool independently or through a charter school?
Also does Shorman Math count for highschool and will it count towards college? I saw your post on Instagram and am considering doing it for my soon to be 9th grade son, it looks wonderful. We were doing Saxon, watching videos but Shoreman sounds great that it grades for you! Thank you!
Do you read from the missionary books daily? We love missionary books! I will definitely get your bundle ❤️
and *add to cart* and ohhh that looks great too! *add to cart* hahahaha!!
Same 😂
One thing you might want to look into is My American Storybook series by Libraries of Hope (Well Educated Heart) it’s a great historic read aloud. It tells history from the mouths of those who lived it!
Sidenote: adorable shirt!! Where is it from? 😍❤️
Yes, I was scrolling looking to see if she said anything. I hope it's not nordstrom rack or anything like a subscription box. It's so cute.
Thanks! It’s a dress from pink lily!

She offers it on zoom on her website ❤️
Great suggestions! How long do you set aside for morning time?
How much time do you generally spend on Morning Basket w/ bible study?
Super off topic but where did you get your bed sheets? Love the pattern!
We love Beautiful Feet Books! Can’t wait to see what you think.
How long do your homeschool days last now that you'd kids are getting older?
How many hours a day would you say you do homeschool?
The 56 is a great book about the 56 signers of the Constitution
The Brothers Keeper looks perfect- especially as a mom
Of 4
Boys!
I bought Wonderful and was excited about it but we were very bored with it and it was in our garage sale a month later :(. Maybe we did something wrong but it didn’t hold any of our interest.
I see the History bundle linked includes 23 books along with the teacher guide. Are those story books necessary to complete the course?
Is there a teacher book for the not consumed studies? Or did you just get the kids books?
We've used the Not Consumed studies and have loved them. Enjoy
Good Morning ☀️
love your necklace... where from?
Question: how do you do The Good and The Beautiful Language Arts with a larger family?
With the Christian Heros books, what age is appropriate for those books? The website says 10 and up, do you agree with that, or would a 7 year old enjoy them as well?
Absolutely ♥️
I’m noticing now on the science units they say grade 3-8 instead of K to 8, does that mean there will be units for the K-2 instead ? Great videos! I want the book of John for myself
They have a new science curriculum called ‘little hearts and hands’ - the first of 3 is already out now (field and flowers, I think it’s called) - but I’ve also heard you could do the new science with younger ages and just adapt the work
Interested in what the other two resources are that you’ve used from the beginning in your homeschool?
Can I get a link to the verse cards??
Not available sorry!
Is the ology for any religion?
This is great! Thank you! How much time do you spend on your morning subjects together before they split off? Thanks!
About 90-120 min on average
