WE PROMISE THIS WHOLE THING is NOT ILLEGAL.
Decades ago, we systematically removed religious education from the public school day. LifeWise Academy is bringing it back.
During School Hours is the two-part (true) story of how it’s happening right now.
- Part 1 investigates WHY religious education was removed from public schools, the unintended consequences of its removal, and why reinstalling it is a game-changer for future generations.
- Part 2 shows exactly HOW Lifewise Academy is doing it now — bringing Bible education to public school students During School Hours.
Find out why this future-changing movement is growing faster than anyone could have imagined and learn exactly how your community can get started today.
By the way — did we mention it’s NOT illegal?
