Summary

The stakes are high. The winds of change are blowing. We sense it, we feel it, and we have the most important role to play in the discipleship of our children. Education is discipleship, and parents absolutely must be in the driver’s seat of the educational plan. Turning Point is helping to raise up educators to support parents to do exactly this. Jennifer Burns joins me today from Turning Point Academy to encourage us to keep our eye on the ball and persevere in the discipleship education of our children.
