episode Waiting in Hope: the Latest on the Education Freedom Tax Credit cover

Waiting in Hope: the Latest on the Education Freedom Tax Credit

In this episode, Matt  and Jamison explore the concept of "active waiting" as it relates to both the spiritual life and the current legislative landscape. The primary focus of the discussion is the Education Freedom Tax Credit (EFTC), as the association continues to await critical draft regulations from the Treasury Department. With the program set to take effect in 2027, the hosts emphasize the necessity for regulatory clarity by late summer to allow schools and scholarship-granting organizations sufficient time to prepare families and donors. The episode highlights significant state-level developments, celebrating major "opt-in" victories in New York and Colorado, while providing updates on legislative battles in Virginia and Maryland. The hosts also address concerns regarding potential state-level over-regulation and the importance of maintaining the EFTC as a straightforward federal provision. Concluding with a reflection on waiting as a spiritual discipline, this episode encourages listeners to remain faithfully engaged in advocacy while trusting in God’s timing for the future of school choice.

A New Day in DC: Inside the DOJ’s Anti-Christian Bias Task Force

In this episode of AACS Today, Matt and Jamison explore the shifting landscape of religious liberty and the emergence of a "new day" in Washington, D.C. The discussion focuses on the recent work of the Religious Liberty Commission and the Department of Justice's Anti-Christian Bias Task Force, which were established to investigate the "weaponization" of government mechanisms against Christian institutions. Through a detailed look at cases involving Liberty University and Grand Canyon University, the hosts illustrate how administrative processes have been used as punishment, often resulting in fines significantly higher than those issued to secular universities for arguably more severe violations. The episode also addresses the "Rededicate 250" event and Speaker Johnson’s articulation of the foundational American belief that human rights are endowed by God rather than granted by the government. Concluding with a call to "eternal vigilance," listeners are encouraged to participate in the upcoming public comment period for the Commission’s report to help preserve religious conscience and practice for future generations.

episode A New Resurgence: Restoring the Legacy of Scripture Memory in the Christian School with Micah Folkers cover

A New Resurgence: Restoring the Legacy of Scripture Memory in the Christian School with Micah Folkers

In this episode, Matt Jamison explore the vital role of Scripture memory through the competitive sport of Bible quizzing. The conversation begins by revisiting the historical "Old Deluder Satan Act" of 1647, which established public education for the purpose of teaching children to read the Bible and guard against spiritual ignorance. Joining the program to share his passion is Micah Folkers, founder of the Cameroon Quizzing Association and a dedicated "Bible quiz evangelist." Micah breaks down the mechanics and philosophy of Bible quizzing, describing it as a high-intensity sport that demands split-second strategy and deep textual mastery. Beyond the competition, the episode examines how quizzing serves as a powerful solution to biblical illiteracy, building a vibrant school culture by making the study of God’s Word exciting and relational. Whether you are looking to revitalize a legacy program or start from "ground zero," this episode provides practical tools for integrating quizzing into your school's mission. Listeners will also gain insight into the international expansion of the sport and find resources to help their students take the "next step" in their spiritual walk.

The Special Education Summit: A Comprehensive Resource for Parents, Educators, and Pastors

In this episode of AACS Today, Matt and Dr. Coppola sit down with Sara Bookout, Director of the Hope Allen Center for Exceptional Children, to discuss the critical role of special education within the Christian school and church. As many ministries seek to improve their support for students with disabilities, this conversation highlights the Special Education Summit [https://www.tabernaclechristianschool.org/specialeducationsummit26] as a premier resource for professional development and spiritual encouragement. Sarah outlines the summit’s unique approach, which brings together parents, educators, and church leaders to share practical tools and success stories. The discussion explores key concepts such as "putting people before paper"—a leadership philosophy focused on supporting teachers and families through efficient systems and relational ministry. Listeners will gain insight into the summit's diverse offerings, ranging from sessions on neuroplasticity and classroom management to legal planning for families and establishing sustainable church ministries. Whether your organization is just starting to consider special education or is looking to expand an existing program, this episode provides a roadmap for taking the "next step" in serving families with special needs. Join us to learn how your ministry can find the refreshment and equipment necessary to bear one another’s burdens through excellence in special education.

episode Offensive Christianity? cover

Offensive Christianity?

In this episode of AACS Today, Jamison is joined by Pastor Chase Davis to discuss his book, Offensive Christianity: Restoring the Strength of Men in a Feminized Age. The conversation explores the reality that God-designed masculine traits—such as ambition, assertiveness, and physical energy—are increasingly viewed as "offensive" in modern culture and educational settings. Davis addresses the unintended suppression of male instincts in schools and challenges the "managerialism" that prioritizes mere "niceness" over biblical virtues. He redefines meekness as "power under control" rather than a call to weakness or passivity. The discussion provides vital insights for Christian educators, urging them to audit their philosophies to ensure they are raising courageous young men who exercise dominion and agency for God's glory. Ultimately, Davis calls for a civilizational renewal through the restoration of authentic, biblical masculinity.
