Making The Leap
Making The Leap is a weekly podcast hosted by Christine and Chris Stigall. The Stigalls recently made the leap to Christian education, pulling their daughter out of a public school and sending her to a private Christian school. The Stigalls want to empower other families to choose the school that’s best for them and break free from the status quo. They speak with society experts, educators, legislators, psychologists, and other parents to uncover the hidden truths in education and lay the groundwork for change.

LIVE From NRB 2025 - Part 2
In this episode of Making The Leap, we’re back with Part 2 from the NRB (National Religious Broadcasters) Convention in Dallas, Texas! Join us for conversations with inspiring guests who are shaping the future of faith-based education and digital outreach.
First, we talk with Abby Sexton from Christians Engaged to discuss her personal journey through homeschool, private school, and public education — and how her faith grew through it all. Abby also shares how Christians Engaged is equipping the next generation to pray, vote, and engage in civic life through a biblical worldview.
Next, we talk with Tim Matthews, Principal of Covenant Journey Academy, about the rise of online Christian education. Tim shares how Covenant Journey Academy combines strong academics, faith-filled curriculum, and personalized support to help families succeed — whether they homeschool or need supplemental courses.
Finally, we catch up with Jill Simonian from PragerU Kids, who explains how PragerU is helping parents teach American history, values, and biblical truth to kids in a fun and engaging way. Whether you’re homeschooling, attending private school, or just want to counter what’s being taught in public education, PragerU Kids offers free, high-quality resources for your family.
This is a must-watch for parents, educators, and anyone passionate about the future of faith, education, and civic engagement in America.
