Thank you for joining us for this conversation today on the Sword and the Trial.

Today, Pastor Tom and I talk about education, the parents' responsibility, the state's responsibility.

Is it a sin to send your children to a public school?

And we'll talk about more as well. I hope it's a helpful conversation for you. Take a listen.

Welcome to The Sword and the Trial. The Sword in the Trial is a podcast of Founders Ministries and Founders Exists for the Recovery

of the Gospel and the Reformation of Local Churches.

I'm Graham Gundin.

I'm Tom Askell.

And today's episode is brought to you by Lake Yale Baptist Conference Center up there by

Lake Yale, up in northern central Florida.

Right by Lake Yale.

Right on Lake Yale. Beautiful campus.

I highly recommend that you check them out. Today, we want to talk about some of the brouhaha

that's been taking place on social media. I'm not on social media right now, but I have friends who are,

yourself included. Thank you for calling me your friend. And I've heard that there's a lot of conversation regarding education, public school, homeschooling, church discipline, biblical balance and wisdom, and all of those things. And so we wanted to make sure that we got in and we gave a few black eyes and we got a few black eyes. No, we want to just tell you God's way. You know, we're going to give you God's way of educating your children, right? So we've got

that figured out. This will be a short podcast, but nevertheless, we're going to give you the true

skinny on all this. And before we get too deep into it, praise God, that Christians are talking

about this. I mean, this is right and good to be concerned about education, educating your children

because God gives children parents for that specific purpose.

It is our job to bring them up.

Ephesion 6-4, if you didn't have anything else, but that in the Bible, it says fathers,

do not exasperate your children, but bring them up.
