Why We’re Making School Great Again | The Make School Great Again Podcast – Episode 1

Is today’s education system just outdated—or is it spiritually dangerous? In our debut episode, Kale and James expose the myth of “neutral” education and reveal how today’s classrooms are discipling children in ways that conflict with a Kingdom worldview.

We’ll dive into the data that shows how little alignment exists between faith and schooling, unpack why systems shape souls, and present a redemptive alternative: Kingdom-centered education. If you’re a parent who knows something’s broken but isn’t sure where to begin—this episode is your spark.
