Does our current educational system equip our daughters for godly womanhood and our sons for godly manhood?

In this sermon by Kevin Swanson, he proposes that the egalitarian approach to education may fail to prepare our children according to their God-intended roles. Swanson suggests that girls should be raised with the vision of becoming help meets for their husbands, home managers, and keepers at home, as described in Genesis and the books of Timothy and Titus. Modesty in dress and spirit, and meekness are some of the character traits that should be inculcated in them.

Similarly, boys should be trained to become providers and spiritual leaders for their families. This training should imbue them with the ability to pray with lifted hands without wrath and doubting, as stated in 1 Timothy. Swanson reminds parents to keep these objectives in mind, especially during the teenage years, to raise men and women according to the roles God has laid out in His Word.

1 Timothy 4:12 (NKJV): "Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity."
