The Art of Discernment The Master's University

In this episode of The Art of Discernment, Dr. Bob Dickson interviews Dr. Jordan Morton, the dean of The Master's University's Pearl C. Schaffer School of Education, about navigating K-12 education. They discuss the myriad options available to Christian parents today, from public schools to home schooling, and how to thoughtfully evaluate each one. Morton shares valuable insights from her own experience as a parent and educator, emphasizing the importance of seeking God's wisdom, gathering reliable information, and finding the right fit for each child. They address common concerns like fear, lack of information, and the need to be actively involved in a child's education. Ultimately, Morton encourages parents to view their child's education as a means of equipping them for service in God's kingdom, rather than simply pursuing worldly success.
