I had the pleasure recently to talk with David Closson, the Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at Family Research Council. I've known David for many, many years. He shares with me the sobering statistics regarding the gap between those who say that they are living a Biblical worldview...
A news outlet recently asked me to talk about the boom in homeschooling. Why is there such a surge of parents choosing to homeschool their kids? I'm a little surprised they couldn't see the answer based on the news they are reporting. My kids are grown and having kids of their own, but I'm even...
