Matt Kane speaks with Joel Penton, founder of LifeWise Academy, on the Better For America podcast about integrating Bible education into public schools through legal release-time programs. With growing school choice interest, LifeWise helps communities offer faith-based instruction at no cost to families. Penton emphasizes the program’s impact, noting that when schools implement LifeWise, they see “attendance increase, behavior improve, and students become more engaged.” Despite growing opposition, the demand continues to surge, with LifeWise now serving over 50,000 students across 29 states. They discuss the challenges, misconceptions, and how parents and communities can get involved to expand Bible education nationwide.
