🚨 BiblesinSchools : Another Front in the Push to Evangelize Public Education 🚨 A group called Bibles in Schools has already placed 20,000+ Bibles into 4,000+ public school libraries and juvenile facilities across all 50 states.

Reality check: only WV & IN actually have bills alive, Nebraska already dropped theirs, and Ohio, Oklahoma, Alabama & Kentucky already passed theirs. Translation? Their “facts” are as slippery as their theology. 🚨But DON’T RELAX—LifeWise has its hands in every shady evangelical… Read More

LifeWise: “We’re bringing the Bible back to school!” Also LifeWise & their supportors: “Don’t worry parents, it’s totally off school grounds… just ignore the part where it’s listed right there on your child’s school schedule.” Can’t have it both ways, folks.

https://www.courier-journal.com/story/opinion/contributors/2025/08/22/oldham-county-schools-lifewise-religious-group/85742522007/ From the article – “LifeWise’s rhetoric describing public schools as their “mission field” to reach the “unchurched,” targeting ages 4 to 14 for their “impressionability” is troubling. Reporting shows they offer treats and rewards to recruit friends and boost participation. This is evangelism through peer pressure. LifeWise views schools as tools for religious outreach,… Read More

Posted in our private group – “My son came home from school upset because he is the only kid in his class that doesn’t go to Lifewise. The kids from previous years who stayed back are going this year. And of course, Lifewise sent home a packet of information to sign him up. That went… Read More
