Since Christian values were removed from schools, there has been a rise in issues like suicide, depression, and anxiety among students. There's a recognition that these values provide a foundational support that is currently missing.
The Supreme Court ruled in 1952 (Zorach v. Clausen) that students can be released from school during school hours to receive Bible education, provided it is off school property, privately funded, and parent-permitted.
LifeWise Academy picks up students during school hours, takes them offsite for Bible education using the Gospel Project curriculum, and then returns them to school. This is done under the 1952 Supreme Court ruling.
Schools see improved attendance, reduced suspensions, and better behavior among students. These measurable benefits highlight the positive impact of Bible education on student well-being.
Many unchurched families see the program as a positive influence for their children, especially in a time when traditional parenting and education are facing challenges. They hope it will provide moral and spiritual guidance.
There is a growing recognition that secularization has contributed to rising mental health issues among youth. LifeWise Academy offers a pragmatic solution by reintroducing biblical values and education in a way that is legally permissible and beneficial.
When Jesus identified himself as 'I am he,' the Roman soldiers fell back, which is seen as a public spectacle of his authority. This event, among others, highlights Jesus' non-violent, voluntary approach to his mission and ultimate crucifixion.
Pilate's fear likely stemmed from the gravity and potential consequences of executing someone who claimed to be divine. This fear underscores the tension and significance of Jesus' trial before the Roman authorities.
Jace uses football events and interactions with players to share the story of Jesus' resurrection and the concept of a 'new creation.' He ties these spiritual lessons into the themes of teamwork, resilience, and victory in football.
The Goldback is a physical, interchangeable gold money designed for small transactions. It allows individuals to spend gold without needing approval, providing a hedge against inflation and a return on precious metal investments.
Jase gives a rousing Jesus presentation to grade-school and college students. Joel Penton, founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy, a nonprofit that provides Bible education to public-school students during school hours, offers a plan to get Jesus back in schools. Since Christian values were removed from schools, generations have progressively suffered from higher rates of suicide, depression, and anxiety, and the guys ponder the ramifications of such a devastating decision.
