Customer Reviews
Great perspective
Suzanne has such a beautiful way of presenting facts about what’s really going on in our schools and culture but then gives wonderful, Biblically based advice on what we can do about it starting in our own homes.
Wealth of Knowledge
This podcast hits on so many topics and is helping get parents quickly up to speed with what is happening in their school system!
On fire!!
It’s encouraging to hear about a good resource for developing and supporting a biblical worldview and to help kids to think critically when people think there’s no absolute truth.
