What Did NBC Nightly News Have to Say About LifeWise? It's Probably NOT What You Think!

[@Spacecadet499]

The library has information and knowledge in it . Influential isn’t teaching

[@patriciaposton1]

I SUPPORT THIS LIFE WISE ACADEMY AND ANY OTHER PROGRAMS LIKE IT. I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD ACCESS TO SUCH A PROGRAM WHILE I WAS GROWING UP. 😊

[@brigittebond9437]

Yes! Thank you! I’m a public school teacher and can not afford to send my own kids to private school right now. But really, I want them to have access to Bible teaching at school! Evolution and atheistic ideas are shoved down their throats every day! Every parent should have this option! Thank you thank you! And that woman is a ringer. She was paid. Guarantee it!

[@etiennebisset5642]

The spins on that lady's questions obiviosly disgusting.

[@julierutland3307]

Then send them to Sunday school.

[@julierutland3307]

@@etiennebisset5642 do you not see that Joel is controlling the conversation? He is cherry-picking the lady's interview. Show the entire interview without interruption.

[@patriciaposton1]

i want to say this too. When I attended junior high my school received maybe 8 or 10 computers. I was one of selected students to participate in this new computer class. We were pulled out of class with no warning and taken up a secret stairwell to a room when never knew was there and we received computer instruction classes. We were told to keep it a secret and to not tell any of the other students. This was done in school.

I think you did a great job explaining your mission, and exposing NBC's bias and you seem to have a great program. You are fulfilling the Great Commission.

[@larrywiener6327]

I'm a Christian and a public school teacher. I very much support 3:06 good news clubs which meet after school. We have so much to cover in school, however, set our time is very valuable, Even recess is important because it gives children a time to socialize.

[@Fourleggedfreak]

A news organization is doing their job by questioning things. Journalists don't usually go around saying that everything is perfect and there's nothing to be concerned about The way that you deny that anyone has any reason to criticize any part of your organization really says a lot to me.

[@camillewilliams3185]

Seems like the NBC reporter had a problem with the fact that kids were learning from the Bible more than anything else. Either way, the framing of the questions says a lot about the intentions of the reporter. As a reporter I'm telling you, Journalists craft their questions based on what they want to find out or assumptions they already have. Lastly, the parent in the report is a Christian but has issues with a Bible based education. That is bizarre and I do wonder if the mother is actually Christian as she says. It's not really clear what her issues were.

[@kathleencassel1350]

How can anybody call themselves educated without a knowledge of the Bible? It was a substantial influence in the establishing of our nation and our culture, so one cannot truly understand our history nor our literature without knowing about the Bible. It is also evident that we need the wisdom and moral measure it gives a society. We seem to have no moral compass as we move to ban all influence of the Bible.

[@lesliemcclure5102]

They started out well and then THEY made it controversial. I really did not expect positive reporting from NBC when I heard it was going to be on. Thank you for breaking this down and thank you for all you do! I love the Lifewise program and you are appreciated!

[@rustyh1654]

Thank you Joel, for bringing the truth to this segment.

[@kelliewatts4674]

One of the great commandments from Jesus is to go into All the world and preach the gospel

[@raymondlangdon7826]

Quick question. Why not take your children to church 🤷‍♂️

[@lifewiseacademy]

Why not do both?

[@debrawilden1971]

Great job, Joel! Exactly--this IS in OH law and clearly indicates that this has to be done OFF SCHOOL property in order to alleviate anyone who thinks there need to be such a separation. Media is doing what is does best-providing it's own slant instead of the truth.

[@cokebear1337]

It also requires parental approval too. The media is so pathetic.

[@IndieThinkerJ]

I’m very grateful my kids are offered what we call “Religious Ed” once a week in our public school.

[@rohinidesilva9595]

This is a wonderful program. Thank you for creating it, for showing us the criticisms NBC made and explaiing to us how to answer them. In Florida, we had passed two laws banning LGBT indoctrination: In 2022, HB 1057 Parents Rights in Education, covered up to Grade . Then in '23, SB 1067 if 2023 expanded this to cover pre-kindergarten to Grade 12. However, within a week of passage of HB 1057 in '22 , LGBT groups filed suit to 'clarify' these bills. The "Settlement' filed in court in '24, with AG Moe Baird, just after FL's legislative session ended, essentially nullified everything we had gained. They actually permitted LGBT clubs to meet on school premises in during lunch hours!! That is why we are so grateful to discover Joel's program.. We will do our best to get our churches to become LifeWise!!

[@SueLuginbill-uj7re]

Thank you Joel. I love Lifewise, such a wonderful program. I am a sub teacher and the kids also love it. One of my classes said "It's over already? This goes faster than gym class". Testament of a great program.

[@drealee2220]

Hallelujah!!!!! 🙌🙌

[@kmathis2352]

It would be interesting to follow up on this Christian woman who wouldn’t send her kids to life wise and see how her kids end up. Likely Woke.

[@scottlin777]

Thank you Joel for what you do

[@mattwthorn]

I would say this is the proper way to “separate church and state”. I think the opinion that the line is getting “blurrier” is there is a push for Christianity teaching/praying in school. If you allow one religion in school, all should be allowed in. I don’t think any should be taught in school, and as long as it’s privately funded, other churches/religions are allowed to offer similar and optional, don’t see a problem.

[@rustyworley2200]

Good job joel! I am almost certain you will be hearing from our Lord and Savior " good Job faithful servant." For you didn't let that news caster's comments bug you m keep going and doing the right thing, and that is spreading the word of God.

[@millerfam128]

Keep up the great work Joel!!!

[@pennyrasnake1401]

The program here is Emporia, VA began this year (the first in our state) and the students love it. Totally voluntary and we should see it as a positive opportunity.

[@SchoolfortheHungry]

Praise God! What a great goal. I'm so glad I found out about LIFEWISE.

[@BrigitteChristmon-dr1bh]

This is just Fiery darts! Like ouch NBC, but shake it off! Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Don't 'sweat it!' I wanted to respond to all the questions as well. I'm wondering if these people have actually been to a public school recently! Lifewise is ONE day a week, and Jesus can do more in an hour than most will do all year! Well done in your responses, I knew they would be highly edited, but you have integrity and that can not be edited away!

[@psfuller]

awesome work Joel. Keep it up my friend.

[@Justinwneal]

Thanks, Joel! LifeWise is doing a great job and so thankful for you and your teams hard work each day! God is on the move. Driving down the road and seeing the red LifeWise bus on the road or parked at a local church is always a highlight of my day.

[@hfontanez98]

There is no such thing as "separation of church and state."

[@julierutland3307]

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." When you use public tax dollars and public institutions for religious purposes, you're violating that very Constitutional amendment. If you don't understand the Constitution, then I doubt you are capable of understanding the Bible.

[@spenceengland1915]

There's no such thing as separation of church and state. That is a fallacy. Nothing Constitutionally calls for separation.

Stop lying. You’re making money off of these kids. That’s all it’s about.

[@dustinduminske5627]

You mean like teachers in the public school do?

[@djthereplay]

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?" - Matthew 7:1-5 NKJV And after all of the judging that I have been seeing people who are Christians claiming to be followers of The Lord Jesus Christ to cut legal boulevards to persecuting and making laws against LGBTQ People blocking them from being served properly and being treated as human beings and persecuting women who are suffering based on their choice to go through with reproduction or not and selling them to sexual slavery while doing nothing to take any legal action to attempt to stop gun violence while covering themselves as protectors of innocent human life from murder, These same Christian Conservative Nationalists much less Christians even in disguise should be the last people complaining about being judged themselves. We all live in a free society and freedom is a 2 sided sword and that all means that when you stick your head out in public you open yourself to public proception just like everybody else and when you even go as far as to make legal boulevards to force your life, your will upon other people then at least in my book you have just made yourself no better than Osama Bin Laden/Al Queda or Hamas. No one ever tried to stop you for being Christian but you try to stop others from living their lives. TIP: Learn to LET GO AND LET GOD

[@JD-fd1rl]

Are you judging here?

[@francismarion6400]

Yes Christ is the RULER from which you should measure yourself and others with love. Are you involved in an unbiblical relationship? Yoke to Christ instead and he can wash your sins away. Do not accept the ways of the world because the world's father is Lucifer. This was God's warning to Israel before he destroyed Sodom. Jesus told the hypocritical Pharisees their judgment would be far worse than Sodoms punishment.

[@djthereplay]

@@JD-fd1rl Don't ever try to turn this on me. I am trying to coax some Christians to stop judging and stop making laws against people so that Christianity can be more respected and not suspected. It is up to you to control what you do and in effect the response you get, not me.

[@rustyh1654]

Thank you Joel, for bringing the truth to this segment.

[@FrankMiller-uv2xz]

Thank you Joel. Thank you for introducing Jesus to our childern in a public school system,not all but most. Who r trying to steer r childern away from the Gospel. Shame on u ma'am,calling yourself a Christian and then doing the work of the ultimate Liar. Shame shame shame. 13:49
