The Good & The Beautiful Drama 

Say it louder! Every time I see those videos I feel such a negative vibe and I don't need that noise in my life. Homeschooling is hard enough. So grateful for wise mamas like you!

Be peacemakers! Not gonna lie, I'm guilty of not always being a peacemaker. You always have such great advice!! Pursue peace!! 😍

Thanks for this video! Every family is different. Use what works for your family and your children. There is no need to be negative towards someone because they choose to use a certain curriculum. There are many different choices out there and that is the beauty of homeschooling. We all have the freedom to choose.

Love and so agree with your take on all the drama around TGTB! ❤

Such a testament of Gods Heart. He leads our steps by streams of living waters. Prayer is so vital in everything we choose for our family’s and ourselves. More eyes on Jesus and less eyes on what others are doing. 🙏🙏🙏.

Yes! So true! We are to be respectful and kind and in this way be a reflection of God's love. Especially as Christian homeschooling moms we are to be an example for our little ones and others. 🙏💕💗

So true. ❤️ i love your hearing your heart on this ❤ lets br peace keepers! After all it's just curriculum and we all have different needs :)

Thank you so much for this! So very true! We need to do better. We are all here to support one another. As homeschoolers, we are in agreement that ALL children deserve a quality education. The methods, styles, or curricula we choose may vary, but our goals are the same. Thank you for having the courage to say what needed to be said.

I love the message of this video, CJ. You are spreading love and kindness.❤

I just had this conversation with a friend. 🕊Thank you!

Hey CJ - you have such a great way of presenting things 💜 I do love how we all have our own unique style for our homeschool - doing what works best for our families is such a blessing when it comes to homeschooling

Excellent point. As a peacemaker for as long as I can remember, you are so right. Many people love the negative attention of creating chaos.

I have never watched your videos but this popped up. I love every thing you said! You got a new fan!

Amen 🙏 God is good

That’s right! Set them straight sis! ❤

Absolutely correct that if we are in doubt then listen to that nudge of the spirit if it’s a no. The spirit will nudge you in the right direction! ❤

As much as is possible, Live peaceably with all ❤ thanks for sharing this godly advice.

My mother always told me if I don’t have anything nice to say, then I should say nothing! ❤

Hi friend! Hope you’re having a blessed Sunday. Such a great and informative video. It’s a great reminder of how we should all be spreading love and peace through our community. TFS, and have a wonderful evening! 😀

I didn't know there was such drama in the community. As christians, we do indeed need to do better. ❤Thanks for the encouragements.

Yes. Everyone doesn't do everything the same. People do need to be more mindful of their words. God bless you and it is good to see you.

We love TGATB for our family! It’s so strange to think that I would have a strong opinion on what other people teach their kids. Aren’t we all, as loving parents, doing what we feel is best for our children? I don’t have any time to micromanage what others are doing! I just listen to God and what He wants for my family ❤ thank you for this reminder!

Yes!! So true!! We are all different families with different values and we should always be respectful to others and their choices ❤

Yes, yes, yes!! I love this video. Thank you for the positive message.

I agree, people are always watching. I enjoyed your videos.❤

I just had this same discussion with my husband.

This is really good to keep in mind before commenting

Wow. I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but I can imagine by some of the things you said. It is important to tame the tongue as well as the keyboard. I recently heard about The Good & the Beautiful, about 6 weeks ago. The lady had so many good things to say about it. I haven't checked it out. But the name itself, I thought was so nice, because I had just read something powerful and inspirational, and the words "good and beautiful" were talked about much in it. Anyhow. I would like to check out the two videos you showed here, and decide for myself. I know this, as Christians, when it comes to sin, it is clear. But when it's a gray area. A preference or conviction, we must give room for others to, and for the Holy Spirit to lead each one of us. Everything nowadays, is a matter of contention and a reason to be offended and give others a piece of their mind. It is so draining. May God Himself fill those who are diligently seeking Him, and may He reward them with Himself- our exceedingly great reward. ❤

Say it louder! YES and amen to this. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your positivity!

I completely agree! ❤

We started out with the good and the beautiful. My 6 year old son liked the songs, but hated the fluff. He mostly wants to get into the meat of the lesson. I loose him fast when theres busy work for the sake of busy work. We switched to Starfall and for math were doing easy peasy. He zoomed past 1st grade and is happily on 2nd grade math. My sister has been homeschooling for I think 9 years and really doesn't like the good and the beautiful, a lot more then us. Ironically we're of the same denomination as the creators of the good and the beautiful, but I still feel like it's just not really challenging enough, and the extra work is just less fun then intended and more kids spinning their wheel. My mom was a public /private school teacher herself in the 80s-90s before homeschooling us, and she had really mixed feelings after seeing my son struggle with it first hand. Overall, at least for 1st grade, we feel it talks down to and underestimates kids. It just was an awful fit for us

I love that you say there is a way to say things without being hurtful but even Jesus said his message was offensive. Something to think about. ❤

Good for you, beautiful lady!

Yes, thank you so much for this!!!🙌🏻👏🏼

Amen! Luke 9:50 KJV And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

I never understood all the drama. Everyone has to do what's best for their family. 🙄

Sing it!❤😊 Love you more and more with each video!

It doesn’t help that a company bashes them either.

I may be late but what is going on? What drama? I have no clue what's going on.🤷‍♀️

👀

💯 We have the opportunity to represent Christ on the web!!!❤❤

Is peace not important than promoting the gospel? I think it's worth offending someone to tell them the truth. Thanks for this though.
