Kingdom Homeschooling Challenge and
accompanying e-book
$247USD
$247
Online Program and downloadable ebook
In this Kingdom Homeschooling Challenge Program you will be led to examine your responsibility for the formation of your child’s whole person under God's guidance. Marilyn will help you to think about what kind of people you want your children to be when they grow up. You'll take a look at your methods for educating them, and whether or not those methods are going to produce this kind of person.
In this Challenge Program, Marilyn shows parents how to break free from a shallow approach to education that omits its most essential component: the formation of a child’s character. A true education transforms us at the heart level, shaping who we are and how we relate to others.
Marilyn challenges parents to acquire this kind of education for themselves so they can pass on to their children, not superficial and irrelevant-to-the-child information, but a living power for growth. She shows how a strong foundation of character (defined as the sum of relational practices) enables children to confidently take responsibility for their own learning process and become richly-developed individuals who are able to make a real difference in their homes and communities.
This life-changing message is presented through the avenue of personal testimony and practical examples, showing how the Marilyn discovered the relational nature of both education and discipleship, and that when the processes of both are combined in a unified, relational effort, an empowering education is the result.
You'll be encouraged that it is never too late to begin pursuing your own transformational education, and convinced that it is the only way to become able to give your children the education they actually need for life.
Testimonials:
“This ministry has changed my life. I was introduced to Empowered Hearts Ministry by a couple of dear friends at a time I needed desperate help. It took me a little bit of time to really get a clear understanding of everything Marilyn was teaching about but once my eyes were opened I couldn't get enough. I have been so thankful that God has used this ministry, both through Marilyn and Barbie who clearly and lovingly speak the truth. I am learning to cooperate with the Holy Spirit, change how I relate in all of my relationships and am seeing fruit in my family. When I get stuck I am learning to be patient with the work that is being done in my life and listen and look for God's direction and trust that God is working. Thank you!" ~ Wendy
“I am just loving these. I am being ministered to about God's heart towards me AND I feel strength and love being poured into my intentions towards my kids. I WANT your convictions, God!” ~ Myca
“I love the central message of trusting God in our homeschooling - so much of the homeschooling message is socialization, methods, curriculum, hours, credits etc... Your message is key to having a Godly homeschool ~ Janet

Review from Nancy B—
"These videos are so enjoyable with valuable messages! We all enjoy the scenario and discussion. It’s easy to laugh at the unloving behavior in this context, but the kids remember times of living these exact types of experiences and not thinking it was so funny at the time. These are so good to watch in order to make sure we are all listening to our consciences. Thanks Poling team for the great videos and posts on these particular ways to be walking in love with each other. Blessings!"
Review from Lauren W—
"My children are just soaking in the Do-Over Duos and have been asking for us to look at them EVERY day! Plus they have even joked a few times, during real time problems, "let's do that again, shall we?" like the kids do on the video. What a blessing this resource is and will continue to be in the future."
Review from Loria P—
"The Do-Over videos are amazing! They are very funny and yet they are very practical. It is real life application to see how unloving actions can be turned around to loving actions. My kids used to say "Let's do that over again". Rachel has an amazing ability to communicate through her writing."

Review from Michelle H—
"I am learning from the Love's Actions audios how much more there is to loving my family than I ever have known before. I am so blessed by Barbie's teachings that are so real and specific, not theory. They are so life changing. This is real education in the things that really matter. Each time I listen to one, I see how far away from loving I have been, and it grieves me so much. Yet, I am filled with so much joy, because Barbie tells not only what we are to stop doing, but what we should start doing instead. Specific, practical. There is life and hope here. Don't miss it! Thank you so much, Barbie!"
Review from Louisa C—
"The Kids Character Discussions and Do-Over Duos have got to be one of my favorite resources! I continue to be amazed at how much I can take away from HOW these kids encourage one another in love! As God parents me, I am little by little able to pour more love into the daily correction that is necessary in my home, but to see and hear it spoken with such gentleness and humor ministers to me and my children. They drink it up!"
Review from Sabrina M—
"So my 10-yr-old son came up and put his arm around me and after a big sigh he said, "I've decided something mommy. When I become a teenager, I don't want to be like most teenagers. I want to be like those kids who make the Do-Over Duos." He has watched all the Do-Over Duos over and over. He loves them and has been especially fascinated with the bloopers and the explanation of why there are so many bloopers. When I first read the explanation to him I could see a lightbulb go on in his head—being unloving and unkind doesn't have to be the norm. He has been so fascinated with the idea that a family could find it difficult to be unloving and his desire to be loving like that is just so precious!"
