Episode 113: School Choice, Parental Authority, and the Cost of "Free" Education
Thu Feb 05 2026
In this episode of The Frontline with Family Protection Ministries, Nathan talks about the biblical foundation of the family and why parental authority is increasingly being challenged in today’s culture.
He also discusses on the deeper worldview issues driving current debates over education, school choice, and government involvement in the family. He explains why accepting public dollars often comes with strings attached, how that can slowly shift control away from parents, and why true educational freedom doesn’t require government money.
Why does it matter? What’s at stake for parents? How families can think biblically and wisely about the challenges ahead?
