Rooted in Scripture, history, and lived faith, Acts2Grind explores one of the most foundational truths of the Christian life: the sufficiency of Christ and the sufficiency of Scripture. In a culture constantly searching for something more, we return to what God has already provided. Join us as we discuss why our sufficiency is found in Christ alone, why believers are complete in Him, how Scripture thoroughly equips the people of God, and why the Christian life grows not by moving beyond Christ and His Word, but by going deeper into them.

Can Christian schools make disciples? What role should teachers play in a child's spiritual development? And where do parents and the local church fit into the picture?

In this episode of Acts2Grind, Don sits down with Christian educator Jordan Goolsby to explore the intersection of faith, education, and discipleship. Drawing from nearly a decade of experience in Christian education, Jordan shares personal stories from the classroom, lessons learned from teaching students, and his perspective on the unique opportunities and limitations of Christian schools.

Together, they discuss:

• What makes education truly Christian
• The difference between education and discipleship
• Why parents remain the primary disciplers of their children
• The role of the local church in spiritual formation
• Common misconceptions about Christian schools
• The challenges Christian educators face behind the scenes
• How students can know Christian language and behavior yet still need genuine spiritual transformation
• The lasting impact teachers can have on the lives of their students

Jordan also shares powerful testimonies of former students whose lives were changed through faithful mentorship, as well as heartbreaking moments that revealed the deep spiritual and emotional burdens many children carry.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, pastor, student, or simply someone passionate about raising the next generation, this conversation offers practical wisdom, biblical insight, and encouragement for helping young people grow in faith.

"You can't outsource discipleship and expect schools to carry what God gave to families and churches."

Why do sincere Christians read the same Bible… and walk away with completely different beliefs?

In this episode of Acts2Grind, Alex and Don tackle one of the most important—but often overlooked—topics in the Christian life: hermeneutics, or how we interpret Scripture.

This isn’t a seminary lecture. It’s a real conversation about real issues:

• Why context is everything
• How bad interpretation leads to bad theology (and real-life damage)
• The difference between meaning and application
• Common mistakes like proof-texting, emotional reading, and taking verses out of context
• And how the Holy Spirit actually helps us understand Scripture the right way

If you’ve ever heard someone say, “That’s just your interpretation,” this episode will help you understand why that happens—and how to approach the Bible more faithfully.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about what you believe…
It’s about how you read.
