Hour 1: LifeWise Academy: Providing Bible Education to Public School Students - with Joel Penton
Decades ago, our nation systematically removed Bible education from the public school day. LifeWise Academy is bringing it back. Under a little-known Supreme Court ruling, LifeWise empowers communities to provide Bible education for their public school students during school hours. Wednesday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy joins us to talk about how this program has quickly grown to serve hundreds of schools across the U.S. each week, with tens of thousands of students attending LifeWise to receive a Bible class as part of their public school day.
Hour 2: Mornings with Eric and Brigitte Book Club - The Rested Soul - with Tessa Afshar

Award-winning author and Bible teacher Tessa Afshar has been there. Drawing from the lessons she learned from battling anxiety in her own life, Tessa brings you on a journey that cultivates a rested soul.
