What is the purpose of education in your home? In this powerful episode, Amy Rienow continues the conversation about school choices—public, private, Christian, or homeschool—and reframes the discussion around something even more important: the spiritual and relational goals we have for our children.
Rather than focusing only on school models, Amy shares how she learned to evaluate education by the fruit it produces and how to set intentional goals each year to disciple her children well. Whether your kids are in school or at home, you'll be encouraged to take your role as parent and primary discipler seriously—and joyfully.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- Why there's no "problem-free" path to education—and why that's okay
- How to evaluate educational choices based on the fruit they produce
- Practical steps for setting spiritual, social, academic, and life skills goals for your kids

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
