EP 236: Religious Freedom & Teaching the Bible in Public School with Joel Penton of LifeWise Academy - The Boom Clap Podcast | Lyssna här

What if there were a way to decrease absences in public schools by 50%? Reduce in-school and out of school suspensions by 30%? See 30% more students performing at or above grade level on state standardized testing?

Joel Penton is the Founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy, an organization bringing the Bible to public schools. LifeWise realizes that what America needs are kids growing up hearing the gospel.

In 1952 the Supreme Court determined that it is constitutional for the Bible to be taught during the public school day…as long as it is off school property, privately funded, and with parental consent. LifeWise is doing just that in more than 1500 schools across 40 states.

The stories are flooding in of lives being changed, kids coming to Christ, families being baptized…the Word of God is doing what it’s always done, which is save lives.
