The Importance of Heritage with Amber O’Neal Johnston

Charlotte Mason· Homeschool· Outside-the-Box Kids

To understand the importance of heritage, we must first make sure we’re all working with the same definition. In regards to heritage, the Bible says, “Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him” (Psalm 127:3, NIV). Dictonary.com defines it as “something that is handed down from the past, as a tradition;” “something that comes or belongs to one by reason of birth; an inherited lot or portion;” or “something reserved for one.” The tone is one of joy and sacredness; a passing of something treasured and valuable.

Amber O’Neal Johnston didn’t always recognize the importance of heritage. In fact, it took a troubling experience with her daughter for Amber to open her eyes to the special heritage she could be passing down; it was an experience that made her pivot in her homeschool. This pivot has become a gift to all of us, merging the beloved Charlotte Mason philosophy with ideas, books, and resources that breathe life into our particular families by embracing each of our unique heritage while making room for and honoring the heritages of others.

Join us today as Amber and I explore the benefits of weaving heritage into our homeschool studies.

  • Amber’s experience with her daughter concerning skin color
