Teach Them Diligently
Hi there! We’re David and Leslie Nunnery. We are the homeschool parents of 4, three of whom have graduated and moved on to further their education at the college level.
For the past 10 years, we’ve served homeschool families through the ministry God gave us by producing Teach Them Diligently homeschool events, writing several books and journals, and creating courses. All of which was born out of a conviction that God has called us to teach our children diligently, and to instill in them a love of God and people and to prepare them well to walk through whatever doors God opens for them in the days ahead.
We look forward to connecting with you through the year and seeing you onsite at Teach Them Diligently very soon!
David and Leslie

Many parents (and let’s be honest—all of us at some point) long for peace in the home and well-behaved children. But if our parenting stops at good behavior, we miss the deeper calling: shepherding our children’s hearts.
In this episode of the Teach Them Diligently Podcast, David and Leslie Nunnery unpack why behavior-based parenting falls short and how homeschooling uniquely equips families to disciple their children for life.
If you’ve ever wondered how to connect daily parenting struggles to eternal impact, this episode will provide both encouragement and tools to shift your perspective.
