Interview with Steve Demme:
Steve and his wife Sandra have been married for 31 years. They have been blessed with four sons: Isaac, 31; Ethan, 29; Joseph, 26; and Johnny, 23. With God's help, they have have all been home educated. He is the founder of MathUSee and has served on various boards including Joni and Friends for Eastern PA and Christian Freedom International.
Steve's desire is to strengthen, teach, encourage, and affirm parents and families as they pursue the Biblical model for the Christian home. Having spent years working with youth as a school teacher (public and Christian); as a pastor and youth leader in a church; and as a counselor and camp director at summer camps. He is absolutely convinced that the single most significant influence in a child's life is that of his parents. Mentors and coaches have a valuable and influential role in the life of today's youth, but Mom and Dad can't be replaced. You may support the home, but you can't replace it.

@Ejahi Thank You. I was hoping that I did not butcher your name on the air. I am glad I pronounced it correctly. BTW, thank you soooooo much for commenting and rating. My goal is to get youtube to remove the restriction of 15 minutes on the posted videos so I can just upload one video file. That way it will be more convenient for you and other viewers of the videos. You are helping me to reach that goal by your subscription and comments so I just wanted to thank you.
