  • The Final Straw: COVID & School Closures

    On the second episode of Making the Leap, Chris and Christine discuss the emotional strain that the covid pandemic placed on their family. That emotional strain coupled with political indoctrination in Pennsylvania public schools pushed Chris and Christine to the edge. It was time to move back to Missouri and pull their daughter out of public school. Making this move was a difficult decision, but it was driven out of necessity. Chris and Christine felt they had no choice but to pack their bags.
    Joining them on the podcast is Chris’ high school principal who was instrumental in their move back to Missouri and their switch to Christian education.  Learn more at HerzogFoundation.com.

  • Weighing the Options: Public School vs. Private

    Chris and Christine Stigall are parents to three teenagers. Chris is a talk show host who’s made a career covering politics. Christine is a former public school teacher turned stay-at-home mom. They watched their kids and community decline during covid school closures. They knew it was time to speak up and make a change.
    On the first episode of Making the Leap, Chris and Christine discuss their decision to send their daughter to a private Christian school, while keeping their two sons in public school. They walk listeners through their entire decision-making process, and bring on the academic dean of a private Christian school in West Chester, Pennsylvania. They discuss how it felt to call that school for the first time. They address the pro’s and con’s of both public and private school options. And finally, Chris and Christine share why they would choose Christian education for all three of their children if they could do it all over again.  Learn more at HerzogFoundation.com.
