Allie is joined by Joel Penton, the founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy. LifeWise is a nonprofit organization that provides Bible education to public-school students. However, some schools are cracking down on LifeWise while permitting progressive initiatives in the classroom, like Pride Month. The Bible was removed from public schools in 1963; however, a Supreme Court ruling in 1952 allows released time for religious instruction. LifeWise takes students off campus for biblical instruction and walks them through the entire Bible in five years. LifeWise reaches 100,000 students across 34 states in over 1,100 schools, with parental permission and zero government funding. Anxiety and depression are rising among young Americans, and Joel is fighting to reach kids with the only solution: the truth and hope of Jesus Christ.
