For many Christian parents, sending a child to public school can feel intimidating. Questions about faith, culture, religious freedom, and discipleship often create anxiety. In this episode, Steph sits down with Kori Pennypacker, CEO of Bible2School and author of Backpack Faith, to discuss practical ways parents can prepare their children to confidently follow Jesus in public school.Kori shares why parents remain the primary disciplers of their children regardless of where they attend school, how Christian students can legally live out their faith at school, and why building relationships with teachers and administrators matters. She also explains why biblical literacy benefits children far beyond their spiritual lives and offers simple ways families can build everyday discipleship into their routines.Resources MentionedWebsiteBackpack Faith bookBible2SchoolAlliance Defending Freedom (ADF)Liberty CounselChristian Parenting School Simplified digital download (with links to school choice series and more!)Don't Stress Talking SexThe Word in our HomeRaising Spiritually Strong KidsGO BibleCarpool Conversations with WinShape CampsPrefer video?
