Dear Reader,
In the 1960s and 70s, God birthed the Christian school movement
in the United States. There were many cultural factors involved, but
the removal of prayer and Bible reading from public schools was a
significant catalyst. By the mid to late 80s, the Christian school move-
ment was slowing down as an organic movement, and God raised the
homeschool movement to continue the fight of rescuing the hearts
and minds of millions of children from the onslaught of secularism
that had swept across America. Make no mistake about it, in spite of
all the challenges Christian schooling and homeschooling have faced
over the last fifty years, today millions of adults possess, at least in
part, a biblical worldview as a result of these two movements. Here’s the good news: I believe we are on the verge of seeing
another organic Christian education movement in the United States. I have never in my adult life seen the level of interest
among parents, grandparents, pastors, and educators that we see right now.
When we launched Renewanation eleven years ago, it was very difficult. I felt like I was talking to a brick wall when I
met with pastors and parents. There was a glazed over look in their eyes. They could not understand how secularized
education was eroding the faith of the children in their care. Due to the rapid decline of morality in public schools and
the aggressive movements coming after our children, an awakening is taking place.
Christian educators, pastors, parents, and grandparents: Now is the time to get serious about the biblical worldview
development of the children in your care. Satan is aggressively coming after our children! We must be equally aggressive.
We can save the next generation. I know because we did it in the churches I led over the last 20 years. We won the hearts
of hundreds of young men and women for Christ and gave them a biblical worldview using every tool available through
the family, church, and school. They are changing the world right now.
Let’s stop hoping our children follow Jesus and start being intentional about making biblical worldview development a
reality with the help of the Holy Spirit. If you would like to talk about how we might partner with your family, church, or
school, please contact us today.
