All Things

It’s back to school time, which means it’s another opportunity for us moms and dads to trust the Lord with our kids. You may be in the midst of making a school choice for your kids: public, private, or homeschool. What’s the right thing to do? And what is our role as parents as this new school year begins? On this episode of All Things I share our family’s journey in education—in eleven years so far, we’ve done homeschool, public school, private school, and even boarding school. I share some things we’ve learned along the way and, more importantly, truths about our good God and how we can rely on him in the school year ahead.

Here are some more resources that you might find helpful if you are in the midst of an education decision:

Last week a report from Northern India revealed that out of 216 births in a specific district, none were girls. Clearly, though sex-selective abortion is illegal there, it is still common. There’s a global war on women taking place and it’s not just in India. China alone is responsible for over 400 million girls missing from the planet (more girls were not allowed to be born in China over the last 50 years than there are people in the United States!). How different our world would be if these baby girls had been allowed to live. On this episode we take a look at the deadliest war of the past century—the war on women.

A study released last month shows that Americans are more divided than ever—but it’s not what you think. We are far more divided in our perception of one another than we are in our actual views and convictions. In other words, we think those on the other side of the aisle are more extreme than they really are. On this episode I discuss how we have more in common than we think and I challenge my listeners and myself to take the #AcrosstheTableChallenge between now and the 2020 election.

On July 14, 2019 President Trump tweeted the following in response to four Congresswomen of color: “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came … you can’t leave fast enough.” On this episode fo All Things I look at the history and racism behind the words “go back to where you came from” and I call on Americans, especially Christian Americans, to reject such divisive and nationalist rhetoric. As we move towards the 2020 election, we Christians must remember our primary citizenship in heaven and display Jesus, more than a political leader, party, or persuasion to a watching world.

For 40 years the Hyde Amendment has been a reasonable and fair way to prevent federal tax money from funding abortion. It’s now under attack. If Hyde is repealed, all Americans will become financially complicit in ending the lives of the unborn. In order to maintain freedom of conscience and religious liberty, as well as to protect the 60,000 babies who are born each year because of Hyde, the Amendment must stay in tact and in place.
