Summary
<p class="MsoNormal">What if your teenager knows all the "right" Christian answers but can't defend a single one? Join Robert Bortins as he sits down with Steve Noble, former Christian talk radio host turned educator, who's taught over 1,400 high school homeschoolers since 2011. After 17 years on the airwaves, Steve made the bold decision to leave radio behind and focus entirely on equipping the next generation through his classes in civics, U.S. history, world history, and Christian ethics. Discover why civic ignorance is rampant even among conservative Christian kids, how to balance truth and grace in our polarized culture, and why teaching students how to think biblically is more crucial than ever. Steve shares hard-won wisdom about moving from cultural warrior to grace-filled educator, plus practical insights for parents wanting to raise kids who can defend their faith with both conviction and love.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Resources:</span></u></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.nobleuschool.com/">https://www.nobleuschool.com/</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u>This episode of <em>Refining Rhetoric</em> is sponsored by</u></strong>:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Have you heard?
