What does it mean to be the primary educator of your child? Whether your children are in public, private, or homeschool settings, God has called you to play point on their education. In this special “best of” Family Vision episode, Amy Rienow shares how her own journey as a mom, ministry leader, and student led her to a radically different view of education—one rooted in Scripture, discipleship, and calling.
As school choices and pressures continue to grow, how can Christian parents navigate their role with wisdom and conviction? Amy unpacks biblical principles that challenge cultural assumptions and empower you to lead your children with purpose. Discover how your view of learning, grades, and spiritual growth can shape your family legacy for generations to come.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- Why education is discipleship—and how the Bible calls parents to lead it
- How the definition of education has changed over time, and why it matters
- Why it’s too early to label your child as gifted—or not—before age 12
- Five biblical targets to guide your child’s spiritual and educational journey

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
