Going Public

Do you have kids attending public school?

I do.

My two boys have attended public school all of their lives.

And yes.. it can be a bit challenging for a Christian parent.

The truth is God can call us to home school our kids... send them to a fine Christian school.... or yes... send them to a public school.

Parents have to make the call based on what they feel God is telling them.

Whatever the scenario is, we have to take up the responsibility of being our children's primary educators, building them up in the faith:

Deuteronomy 6:6-9 (NIV) 6 "These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates."

On our Total Impact segment over the past couple of evenings, I featured a recent conversation with David and Kelli Pritchard.

Their book Going Public is filled with encouragement right out of the pages of the Bible.

It's also super practical.

If this is a subject that hits home for you..... take a listen to the interviews.

I was both encouraged and instructed.

I hope you will be too.
