Ordinary Women
Ordinary Women is a Christian homeschool mom podcast about faith, family, and everyday courage — hosted by Rebekah Ricks, homeschool mom, former teacher, and legislative strategist with 40+ bills passed.
If you've ever whispered "Am I ruining my kids?" over cold coffee, this show is for you. In short 10-minute episodes, Rebekah tackles the questions every homeschooling family faces: Am I qualified to teach my own children? What about socialization? What does homeschooling really cost? What are my parental rights and homeschool laws in my state? And how do I disciple my kids at the kitchen table without losing my mind?
Homeschooled herself, founder of The Homeschool Connection (est. 2013), and author of Kitchen Table Revolution: Why Homeschooling Is the Most Radical Thing You'll Ever Do, Rebekah brings real data, real stories, and real Scripture — with zero guilt and way too much coffee.
New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday. A Courage & Caffeine production.
You're not crazy. You're called. Pull up a chair.

She showed up to tutor, burned out and questioning everything, and a mama stopped her in the doorway and prayed. In this episode, Rebekah shares the story she rarely tells: fourteen years of waiting, praying, and miscarrying before God gave her two boys, and why "he will only be eight once" became the conviction underneath everything. Plus the permission somebody listening needs today. Based on Kitchen Table Revolution: Why Homeschooling Is the Most Radical Thing You'll Ever Do.

It is 9:47 on a Tuesday morning and the coffee you poured at 6:15 is cold again. Somewhere between the missing math workbook and the third load of laundry, you whispered the thing you have been afraid to say out loud: “Am I ruining my kids?”
