Dandelions
LIVING HOLY. Why? Toward what end? By what motivation? For what purpose? My boys are still at that age where they eagerly “pick flowers for mommy” whenever they come across a patch of dandelions. Like many men stuck in the practicality of things, to my husband, they are clearly weeds. =) But to countless mommies […]
Who Is God to You? (Part 2 of 2)
Former ATI Students Answer, “Who Is God to You?” (2 of 2) Previously we introduced the topic: Who Is God to You? This week will continue with the responses we received from former students of the Advanced Training Institute (ATI). Before we delve in, I’d like to reiterate that you may not agree with or […]
A Look at Family Relationships

Created to Worship
My family joined the Advanced Training Institute (ATI) when I was four years old. We were one of the first year “pilot” families. We attended the Basic and Advanced Seminars as we had time, or when they were close. We were consistently involved in the homeschooling program, as well as Character First!, TELOS, and other […]
A Parent’s Perspective – Sixteen Years in Bondage
Our journey into the Advanced Training Institute (ATI) began when my second child was about 6 months old. I remember quitting my job as a nurse to become a stay at home mom, and thinking that it was quite a sacrifice. Then, about two years later, my husband came to me and told me that […]
