How can we stay safe in our faith? In Part 2 of our discussion of the documentary "Shiny Happy People" we are discussing homeschooling and the umbrellas of protection. We get a bit into the history of homeschooling modern history, and then discuss homeschooling within the context of freedom or fear. We also discuss different kinds of homeschooling, and what made the Gothard brand of homeschooling unique.

We then talk about the umbrella of protection image that is often shared, where under the guise of "safety" more mediation is put between Christ and children, or Christ and women. While it looks "safe" it actually adds to the gospel, placing hope in men instead of God.
