Support Durenda as She Heals from Cancer
Many of you heard that in the weeks since Durenda and I sat down to record this interview, Durenda has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. I hope you will join me and the rest of the Homeschool Compass team in praying for Durenda’s complete healing and that God would give her and her family strength in the midst of this trial. You can listen to the health update she shared on her podcast here or read the latest from Durenda’s daughter, Jenna, here. Please do give Durenda and her family all your love and support and especially your prayers as they walk through this difficult season.
