Bible Study in Public School During School Hours - Is This Legal ?

Joel Penton knows what it means to tackle things.As a former defensive end for THE Ohio State University Buckeye football team, he has plenty experience identifying a target and wrapping it up.For now though, he's tackling much bigger issues.Joel is the CEO of LifeWise Academy, a religious education program that provides Bible studies to public school students DURING SCHOOL HOURS.And this ministry is literally exploding all across the country ! CLICK HERE to join the effort in the Anchorage School District that is already in the planning stages.A U.S. Supreme Court opinion has long ago clarified the legality of such programs as long as they are 1) off school property 2) privately funded and 3) opted in by parents.  Alaska Family Council is working closely with LifeWise Academy to bring this exemplary program to every school district in the Great Land.Their proven record of significant improvements in the areas of character education, mental health, academic outcomes and community involvement has created massive interest from schools and families.We're excited to ride the wave and I'm thrilled to shoot the breeze with a fellow Buckeye :-)I hope you can tune in.Support the Show.
