009 Dr. Heath Robertson Part 1: What Makes An Education ‘Christian’?

What actually makes an education Christian? Is it regular school with a Bible class added on, or a prayer before math? In this episode, Thomas and Rachael sit down with Dr. Heath Robertson, Director of Faith and Values at Enlightium School System Agency, to answer that question. Heath explains why no education is truly neutral, why he'd love for Christian schools to stop using the term "biblical integration," and how the assumptions behind secular education have shaped what children are taught today. The Reclaim Podcast exists to empower parents to do what God has called them to: intentionally educate their children. Rooted in the belief that discipling and educating our children is a God-given parental calling, The Reclaim Podcast comes alongside parents in raising the next generation in truth, wisdom, and purpose. Hosted by Thomas Lambert (Superintendent of Enlightium) and his wife Rachael (a homeschooling mother of three), the show is built on the simple conviction: God gave parents the responsibility for educating their children, and it is a job they must take seriously. Each week, Thomas and Rachael sit down to talk about what it means to educate a child well. They have conversations with students from every kind of schooling model, parents who've made intentional (and sometimes costly) choices, and school leaders who are partnering with parents and changing the landscape of Christian education.
