This episode discusses the importance of training students with both spiritual and academic excellence regardless of the type of school an educator is serving. It is further emphasized that Christian teachers in a public school system are indeed "Christian educators" in a more challenging environment than a traditional Christian school teacher. Whether homeschooling around the kitchen table or engaging college students in a lecture hall, Christian educators must look for "spiritual" teachable moments" to solidify truths from God's Word. 

Lastly, Christian schools are usually established to be either covenantal (discipling) or missional (evangelizing). All other school policy will flow from one of these points of view.
