We're bringing you an announcement for our second season of the Loftcast 2.0!

Pastor David Roth, the founding pastor of OneWay Christian Church in Green Bay, Wisconsin, joins Tina and Chris to talk about homeschooling and the church. David and his wife made the choice to homeschool their daughter in her senior year of high school.

David shares his thoughts on the current state of public school education, as well as homeschooling and Christian education, and the differences. Pastor David firmly believes in the homeschool movement, and the benefits it can bring to not only your children, but your family, and society at large. Scripture is our guide to what our responsibilities are for raising our children.

Join us for this insightful discussion about faith, the church, homeschooling, and our responsibility to ensure the quality of our children's instruction.
