The Missing Piece in Christian Education

In this episode, the Chalcedon team explores the missing piece in Christian education. While many Christians have rightly rejected state education and embraced homeschooling or Christian schools, the discussion argues that this alone is not enough. The real goal is not merely safer schooling or cleaner curriculum, but the formation of a new humanity in Christ and the raising up of new leadership across every sphere of life.

Drawing on R. J. Rushdoony’s vision, the episode explains that Christian education must be far more than a modified version of the public-school model. It must begin with a thoroughly biblical foundation, rethink every discipline in terms of God’s Word, and equip both children and adults to live faithfully in God’s world. This is a conversation about long-term dominion, generational faithfulness, and the development of Christian leaders who can reclaim education, law, science, medicine, economics, and beyond for the kingdom of God.
