Episode Synopsis


Oklahoma’s top education official, Ryan Walters, has mandated that public schools incorporate the Bible into lessons for grades 5-12, sparking controversy and raising constitutional concerns. Meanwhile, First Church in Berlin, Maryland, held a special Vacation Bible School for children with disabilities, offering sensory-friendly activities in partnership with Joni and Friends. Families expressed gratitude, and the church plans to continue similar programs. Additionally, Mark Dance offers pastors three simple time management tips: budget ministry time, create boundaries for family time, and take regular breaks, emphasizing that self-care is strategic, not selfish.
