As a parent, choosing the right school for your child can feel overwhelming, especially in today’s world where public schools, Christian schools, classical models, micro-schools, and homeschooling are all on the table. But for Christian families, the decision isn’t just about academics or convenience, it’s about faith, values, safety, and long-term impact.
In this episode of The Way of Valor, Angie Taylor unpacks the real questions Christian parents are wrestling with:

• Can my child truly know Jesus in this school environment?
• Will they be safe and supported by teachers and administrators who share my values?
• Am I underestimating the hidden costs of a “free” public school education?
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of Christian schools, classical schools, and micro-schools?
• How can homeschool parents thrive with the right support and community?

With decades of experience as both a public school teacher and a Christian school leader, Angie shares candid insights about the educational landscape, what’s at stake, what parents should be asking, and how to align your child’s education with your family’s biblical worldview.
If you’re a parent weighing your school options, this conversation will help you look beyond the headlines and dig into the deeper heart-level questions that matter most.

As a mom, educator, and follower of Christ, I know how overwhelming it can feel to raise kids in a culture that promotes comfort over courage and entitlement over service. In this episode of The Way of Valor, I share part two of a deep and practical series on raising a generation of culture-shifting kids. We talk candidly about the influence of faith, discomfort, and global perspective in shaping young people into resilient leaders who know who they are—and whose they are.

I unpack real-world parenting challenges—how to navigate your child's anxiety without enabling it, how to shift from creating comfort to building strength, and why mission-based living transforms not only your child’s mindset but your family’s legacy. With over 30 years in education and as the founder of Valor Global Foundation, I’ve seen firsthand how gospel-rooted parenting changes lives—not just at home but around the world.

This episode is for parents, mentors, and anyone who believes the next generation can do more than survive—they can thrive with purpose. If you've ever questioned whether your voice, your parenting, or your mission matters, this conversation will remind you: God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called.
