#95: Raising Teens of Integrity with the Bryant Family

Season #2

In this special episode of The Feast Life Podcast, Julie Ross sits down with the Bryant family—dad Bobby and his three teens—to talk about their homeschooling journey, the power of family discipleship, and their new children’s book Trusting Timothy. Together, they share how faith, honesty, and perseverance shaped their homeschool years and how parents can encourage integrity in their children.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • The Bryant family’s unique homeschooling journey from preschool through high school.

  • How daily family Bible study created a culture of honesty and accountability.

  • Why they wrote Trusting Timothy together—and how it addresses the temptation to cheat.

  • The importance of building resilience by doing hard things instead of taking shortcuts.

  • Practical encouragement for both parents and teens to walk in integrity.

5 Key Takeaways:

  1. Homeschooling is about more than academics—it’s an opportunity to build family bonds and root children in biblical truth.

  2. Integrity starts with modeling—when parents take accountability for their own mistakes, kids learn to do the same.

  3. Cheating is a heart issue, not just a school issue—homeschool kids face temptations too, and Scripture offers the foundation for honesty.

  4. Resilience comes from perseverance—true success is built through hard work, patience, and faith, not shortcuts.

  5. Keep God first—when families center their lives on God’s Word, everything else—learning, character, and even success—falls into place.
