For Homeschool Families

Built for their family first.

Now available for yours.

The Providence FieldBook started as a family discipleship tool built in the middle of a hard season. It worked. Then pastors saw it. Then teachers. Now it is available for every family that wants something rigorous enough to take seriously and warm enough to actually use at the kitchen table. Most Christian children grow up as Hearers. This gives
them the structure to become Doers.

“His obsession. Her translation. Their gain.”
Brandon & Sheila Rodriguez — Field & Cannon

The Origin

They didn’t plan to build a product. They needed one.

Brandon and Sheila Rodriguez spent years building their faith together. Not inheriting it. Building it. Studying, questioning, getting it wrong, correcting, finding solid ground. When they had children they wanted to pass real faith to them, not just the version they had been handed.

Five years ago a serious car accident gave both of them traumatic brain injuries. Brandon kept working through his recovery, holding the family together. Their children cooked, cleaned, and kept the house running. The faith they had built was tested in the most practical way possible. It held.

During Sheila’s recovery, writing things down was the only tool that helped her wrestle with God over her questions and confusion. She later realized she was using the same format she had learned in geology field studies. She had not designed anything. She had survived her way into a structure. Brandon recognized it, shaped it, and argued about every section until it was right.

They built it for their children first. A year of completed entries is a record of God’s faithfulness in your child’s own handwriting. Not someone else’s testimony. Theirs.

They built it for their family first. A family legacy. Now available for yours.

“God is actively teaching your children right now. The question is whether they know how to notice it, document it, and look back at the evidence.”

The core conviction behind The Providence FieldBook

How it works

Five sections. Same form every time.
That is the entire point.

The white belt and the black belt are doing the same art. A six-year-old and a seminary student are both working the same structure at the
depth their season allows. Neither one is doing it wrong. The discipline holds and the depth grows as they continue practicing.

“Life is the lab. Scripture is the framework. And God keeps sending lab partners you didn’t choose.”
I. Prelab Conditions

Where are you right now?

Name your current state before you open Scripture. Clear mental clutter. Give your distractions a place to rest so you can actually read.

II. Objective Research

What does the text actually say?

Who wrote this? To whom? Why? What does the passage mean based on its own context, not your experience of it?

III. The Experiment

Form a hypothesis. Then pray.

Based on what the text reveals about God, how should this truth change your thinking, words, or actions? Write down what you expect to happen.

IV. Field Notes

Come back and write it down.

Return after the truth gets tested in real life. What happened? What surprised you? Who was the unexpected lab partner God sent?

V. Conclusion

See what God was doing.

Summarize what you learned about God’s character. End with gratitude. Then share it with someone. Teaching it is what cements it.

For Your Family

Not a program. A skill they will never outgrow.

Deuteronomy 6 does not describe a curriculum. It describes a lifestyle, faith woven into the rhythms of daily life. When you sit. When you walk. When you lie down. When you rise. The Providence FieldBook gives that lifestyle a structure that works in a real household.

Programs have an end date. This doesn’t. A six-year-old begins with simple observations. A teenager brings rigorous questions. An adult looks back at years of entries and sees the patterns of God’s faithfulness in their own handwriting. The skill deepens with every season. No one grows out of it.

It fits whenever you open your Bible. Morning before school. Sunday afternoon. After a hard conversation. A Thursday when nothing went according to plan. No required schedule. No program to maintain. Just a practice that lasts a lifetime.

Multiple Ages

Same framework, every age.

An eight-year-old and a sixteen-year-old can work the same methodology side by side. The depth differs. The form is the same. No separate curricula for each child.

Bible Credit

Counts for your transcript.

Structured Bible study with documented entries, objective research, and written reflection meets Bible credit requirements for most homeschool frameworks and portfolios.

No Prep Required

Open it and start.

The form guides everyone. You do not need to master a curriculum or prepare a lesson. You model honest engagement with the text. That is the entire teaching method.

Co-op Ready

Works with your group.

The Final Protocol asks students to share what they learned with a lab partner. A co-op session becomes the natural setting for this. No leader’s guide needed.

Family Legacy

Something to hand down.

A year of completed Field Book entries is a record of God’s faithfulness documented in your child’s own handwriting. Not someone else’s testimony. Theirs.

Flexible Depth

Hard seasons welcome.

A busy week means a shorter entry. A rich season means going deeper. The methodology does not demand perfection. It asks for honesty and consistency over time.

Every season of life

The Providence FieldBook grows with your family.

We learn in cycles. God often teaches the same truth again as He matures us. Each pass builds understanding, endurance, and trust. The structure accommodates this because it never changes. The student does.

“The discipline holds. The application adapts. The goal is faithfulness over time, not a perfect single session.”

A new believer who works through the structure simply is not in the same place as someone who has been doing it for five years. But they are doing the same thing. That is what makes it a family practice rather than a children’s program you age out of.

  • Elementary Age Parent guides the entry. Child answers questions in their own words. Simple passages. Big observations. The habit is forming.
  • Middle School
    Student works more independently. Context research becomes a real task. The Hypothesis section begins to produce honest self-assessment rather than right answers.
  • High School
    Rigorous hermeneutics. Original language resources introduced if available. Entries become a portfolio of intellectual and spiritual growth that holds up under scrutiny.
  • Parents
    You are not teaching your children something you already know. You are doing the methodology alongside them. That is not a weakness. That is the most powerful thing you can model.
  • Hard Seasons
    Illness. Loss. Uncertainty. The Prelab Conditions section was designed for exactly these moments. You do not have to pretend you are fine before you open the Bible.

Lab partners

You don’t get to choose your lab partners. God does.

Every FieldBook entry includes a Field Notes section where students record what happened when they applied the truth they studied. The people involved in those moments – a sibling, a parent, a difficult friend, an unexpected stranger – are the lab partners God sent.

Growth rarely happens in isolation. Sometimes a child discovers that a parent is walking through exactly the same lesson. Sometimes the lab partner is the person who made things hard. The methodology is designed to make that visible.

“You cannot cheat in this lab. God is patient and generous in how He teaches His children.”

Sharing findings with a lab partner is the Final Protocol of every entry. In a homeschool family, that partner is already at the dinner table.

This is what honest faith documentation looks like.

Not polished. Not performed. A real entry from a real hard season, worked through the structure all the way to conclusion. This is the kind of thing your children will be able to look back at in twenty years and see their own growth.
