When Paul uses the Greek word paideia in Ephesians 6:4, what did he mean?
What is the paideia of the Lord? And how comprehensive was its scope?
Well, it certainly wasn't minimalistic or truncated.
God isn't only Lord of our hearts, or of STEM, or of the kitchen. He is King of

No one is saying this is easy. The Q&A, however, are fairly simple.
Q: does today’s public school system help Christian parents do their duty to ensure their children receive the “paideia…of the Lord” required in Ephesians 6:4?
A: honestly, no. As a system, today’s Government

One of our students wants to be a farmer. There's no doubt in his mind.
He was struggling through an algebra concept, so I showed him why y=mx+b will actually matter to him in the future using a chicken (x) and lbs of feed (y) example.
It clicked.

It's a problem of authority.
When the Government schools betray the parents' trust by manipulating behind their backs, they're just acting consistently with their bottom-line presupposition, which says, "The children belong to us."

Insane. Driscoll's rebuke was mild and measured.
Our culture is so hyper-sexualized it's become numb. It can't even see there's a problem.

Ephesians 6:4 teaches that we parents have a duty to provide a robust Christian education for our children.

And not only on Sundays.

Keep your eyes on the replies.
This is not a fringe edge-case.
They’re doing this by design.
One of the most serious dangers of public school:
Your child may announce to you one day that they are trans, that their friends helped them see this, and the school counselor has been meeting with them about it for months.
Not hypothetical. It has happened many times already.
