C. S. Lewis once warned, “Don’t judge a man by where he is, because you don’t know how far he has come.”

In a world of instant reactions and echo chambers, we need that perspective now more than ever. Giving people the room to make mistakes, learn from them, and then improve takes a level of patience and understanding that is often lacking in our culture today. As Christians, we should be among those best positioned to offer such grace because we should be among those best positioned to understand how much grace God has shown us.

Whether your children are preschool or college-aged, it's important that they know how to express their faith in a school environment.

As midterm elections approach, voters say education is a major issue, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports.

Many American schools aren’t succeeding in the basics. In 2015, the U.S. Department of Education found that almost 20% of American high school graduates could not read. In many communities, that number is far higher. This is a moment for Christians to love our neighbors through education, like our forebears did. We should also advocate for new school choice policies, like the one just implemented in Arizona, which allows parents to use their own tax money for the schooling that’s best for their kids. There’s a lot that we can do, and when we do it, we give good gifts to the world. While grown-ups stalk picket lines, there are real kids who need a real education right now. The Church has always been more than up to the task.
