How to trust God with Your Homeschool Journey

David Rausch
Creator of GO! Academy and GO! Curriculum

Let’s face it — homeschooling can feel overwhelming. When the lesson plans fall apart, the toddler won’t nap, and your teenager questions everything, it’s easy to think, I’m failing. But what if the key to peace isn’t in doing more… but in trusting more?


In Grace-Based Parenting, Tim Kimmel reminds us that parenting isn’t about
control — it’s about grace. That’s true for homeschooling too. When we cling to perfect schedules, ideal behavior, or the “right” curriculum, we often miss the bigger picture: God is in control, not us.


Letting go doesn’t mean giving up. It means:

  • Trusting that God fills in the gaps. You won’t teach everything—but He’s
    shaping your child’s heart in ways you can’t see.
  • Resting in the gospel. Your homeschool is not your salvation—it’s just one of
    many tools God uses to disciple your family.
  • Choosing joy over fear. You don’t need to panic about falling behind when your foundation is faith, not performance.

You’re not just raising students—you’re raising disciples. And God’s got this, even when you don’t.
