Baron Wiley sits down with Kelly Kuhl, Program Director for LifeWise Academy, to discuss an exciting new Bible education program coming to Boerne ISD public schools. LifeWise Academy is a national nonprofit that provides once-a-week Bible classes to public school students during school hours — legally, off-campus, and at no cost to the district. Learn how it works, why it's 100% legal (backed by a 1952 Supreme Court ruling), and how you can get your child enrolled or support the program.
