Transcript

When I speak to parents about parenting and school choice, I often hear something like this, “well, my kids need to be in public school. They can be missionaries to the other children.” But can your child really be a missionary?

Well, your children are not miniature adults. They don’t have a fully formed worldview. They’re in the process of building that worldview, many are being sent right into “enemy” territory during that critical time.

God’s Word says believers are the salt of the earth. But it also says we can’t be salt until we have salt in ourselves. And that’s what our children need: to be taught and trained to be “salty.”
