Hope and Heroes with Leah Boden

Episode 136 of is a return of our beloved friend Leah Boden and the author of Modern Miss Mason. Leah is back on the #restorationhomepodcast to talk about her incredible new writing project, middle school biographies of heroes of the Restoration Home: C.S. Lewis and Charlotte Mason.

Leah and Jennifer talk about the life lessons learned from Mason and Lewis's lives, which were Christ centered and focused on faithfulness and inspired by God's calling on their lives. This is an incredible conversation for the whole family about having great heroes of the faith and a Christ centered education.

They discuss the role of Charlotte Mason in an education that is story and narrative based. Charlotte Mason education isn't about reading as many books or cramming as much information into our children as possible. Instead, we are stewarding an education that fills them with a deep sense of identity, discernment of good and evil, and the ability to continue learning their whole lives.

The Peaceful Preschool Volume 2 is coming Summer of 2025!
