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

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.
