Vocal Point-Joel Penton

Topic: The Bible and Schools.

Do prayer and Bible-reading have any place in the schools today? Historically, for the first 200-300 years in America, the Bible in one way or another as the chief textbook in our schools. But in the last half-century or so, the Bible is not welcome in the schools. But there is Bible-based character education for school children courtesy of LifeWise Academy. Recently, President Trump announced that the Department of Education will issue new guidance protecting students’ right to prayer in public schools makes now the perfect moment to highlight how faith can thrive legally and effectively in K–12 education. Joel Penton, the CEO of LifeWise Academy joins Jerry Newcombe to the use of the Bibles in school.  www.lifewise.org
