Learning to communicate well is a foundational skill that impacts every aspect of your children’s lives. Zan Tyler is joined by guest Christy Shipe, a second generation homeschool mom of five and the founder of NCFCA, a national Christian speech and debate league. Zan and Christy explore the significance of communication, critical thinking, and a biblical worldview in education. From her personal experience being homeschooled in the 1980s to founding NCFCA, Christy sheds light on the valuable skills students learn through speech and debate and how it positively shapes their development.  SHOW NOTES https://zantyler.com/podcast/099-christy-shipe LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE Join Zan Tyler and a special guest each week for real encouragement, engaging stories, and practical wisdom for surviving and thriving on the homeschool journey.
