    How You Can Be as Courageous as Elise Stefanik
    Dec 11 2023
    In this compelling podcast episode, co-hosts Jeff Jerina and Mike Chrasta discuss the recent House Education Committee hearing that took place on December 5, 2023. The spotlight of the hearing was on U.S. House Representative Elise Stefanik from New York, who posed tough questions to the presidents of prestigious institutions such as Harvard, Penn University, and MIT regarding the harassment of Jewish students on their campuses.

    Jeff and Mike dissect the crucial moments of the hearing, emphasizing the pressing need for Christian schools, administrators, and teachers to stand firm and resolute in helping their students own their Christian faith and be leaders in the culture today. Drawing from their own experiences and insights, Jeff and Mike offer invaluable tips and biblical wisdom specifically tailored for Christian schools, teachers, administrators, and students. This podcast begins with three critical questions that every Christian school leader should ask about their school. The questions Jeff and Mike ask in this episode are taken from their book, Family in School: A New Paradigm for Christian Education.
    In a world that desperately needs Christian men and women to stand up for what’s right and work together in unity, especially with the Jewish people, Jeff and Mike encourage Christians to lead with grace and love. This episode serves as a rallying call for individuals within Christian educational institutions to stand firm, equipped with the courage needed to be agents of positive change in the broader culture.
