In this episode of Preschool Pioneers, Jeremy Walker challenges the modern assumption that education is mainly about learning facts, arguing instead that all education is fundamentally religious and moral because it forms a child’s worldview, loyalties, and character. Drawing from R. J. Rushdoony’s The Messianic Character of American Education, he explains how government schooling historically advanced a humanistic “salvation through education” project that reshaped America’s beliefs over time, while warning that even alternative approaches like homeschooling can drift into humanism when they reject authority, discipline, and purpose. Jeremy calls Christian parents and teachers to pursue education that builds dominion-minded men and women—responsible, disciplined, faithful, and ready for marriage, work, and service—using academics as tools for righteousness rather than ends in themselves, and closes with Proverbs 4:1–19 as a blueprint for true biblical instruction.

Join Jeremy Walker as we discuss the importance of Christian education and the stark contrast of Christian Education vs. Humanistic Education. Does God reward all educators the same?

In this episode of Preschool Pioneers, Jeremy Walker explores the idea that “culture is religion externalized,” arguing that a society’s values and behaviors reflect its underlying worldview and are most clearly seen in actions rather than slogans. Using a contemporary clip that redefines “white” and “whiteness,” he contends that these terms are increasingly used as coded language for Christian moral formation and the expectation that people—especially children—be taught self-government under God’s law. Walker urges Christian parents and teachers to develop discernment, to evaluate ideas by their real-world fruit, and to intentionally form children in faith and character rather than being shaped by anti-Christian narratives.
