3 Errors About Politics and the Christian Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

I read Andy Stanley’s book last weekend, Not In It To Win It. His main point seemed to be: Jesus isn't a Republican or a Democrat. I’ve seen Tim Keller and others make a similar point. But here’s my question: “Ok, so then what?” The mid-term elections are coming. I want to share some thoughts about how Christians can, and should, participate in the public square. H/T to Natasha Crain for a few of the examples that I included.

Education Mega Episode Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

I have advocated for school choice and the de-centralization of education from the government for 30 years. I thought that a key way to do this would be through some kind of vouchers program. Now that there are a few states who have either implemented or are in the process of implementing ESAs (education savings accounts), I have actually changed my mind. We will discuss the pros and cons of ESAs, and what they could mean for the freedom of Christian parents. Other topics we cover: • Who is the one really pushing Comprehensive Sexuality Education into our schools? • Why it is becoming increasingly ineffective to opt-out of Comprehensive Sexuality Education • The emergence of the Whole Child model and what it means for the future of public education. Guest: Kelly Ske, parents rights advocate
