How to Reach Public School Students with God’s Truth! [Featuring Joel Penton]

Did you know a Supreme Court ruling allows children to learn about the Bible during public school hours? Joel Penton joins Pastor Allen on this podcast to discuss the positive ways this can impact children in our nation. Penton is the Founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy, which provides biblical education to public school students during the school day, covering the entire Bible by sixth grade. They operate their program based on a 1952 Supreme Court ruling that allows children to be released from school for religious education, with parental consent. “There are 13,000 public school districts, 90,000 school buildings, 50 million public school students, and we see no reason why we shouldn't at least try to make Bible education available to every single one,” Penton said. Listen to the podcast to learn more about this powerful way to bring God’s Truth to public schools.
