Revolutionizing Education: One Mama Bear's Mission Empowering Parents to Launch Hybrid Schools

Written By Denise Mira

In this episode, Denise Mira interviews Lesley Russell, a seasoned homeschool Mama Bear of four and the founder of her branded Equip 2:10—a movement that is, in her words, “bringing God back onto the mountain of education and helping children walk in their identity in Jesus Christ, in the calling on their life that only they can fulfill.” 

Equip 2:10 is a discipleship-based hybrid model that merges homeschooling with the best of traditional schooling to “bring the Holy Spirit onto the mountain of education,” as Mrs. Russell would say.

Leslie shares powerful testimonies of student transformation and invites believers from all walks of life to join the education revolution by launching their very own Equip 2:10 campus to impact culture.
