Last year, The Woodlands Christian Academy in Texas made a bold move: removing student cell phones from campus life. It wasn’t just about minimizing distractions — it was about discipleship, worldview formation, and aligning daily school life with their mission.

In this episode of Teach Biblically, Stephen Clark and Aaron Marez share the practical steps, communication strategies, and biblical convictions that shaped the rollout of their no-cell-phone policy. We discuss how it has impacted student relationships, classroom focus, and even the spiritual climate on campus — and why other Christian schools should consider similar steps.

Whether you’re a school leader grappling with technology policies or a teacher seeking to keep your classroom centered on Christ in a screen-saturated world, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical tools.

• Mission drives policy. How the Woodlands Christian Academy connected a phone policy to its biblical worldview and discipleship goals.

• Practical rollout steps. How to prepare faculty, students, and parents for a major culture shift.

• Communication strategies. How to explain the why in a way that builds unity and buy-in.

• Worldview formation in action. The habits and character traits students are developing without constant phone access.

• Lessons learned. What worked, what they would change, and advice for schools considering a similar move.

In this episode of Teach Biblically, Dr. Maggie Pope interviews Dr. Roger Erdvig - speaker, author, former school administrator, and current Director of Worldview Education at Summit Ministries - about the powerful idea of Christian service-learning. Roger shares how he’s lived this out firsthand in schools and co-wrote Bring It to Life: Christian Education and the Transformative Power of Service-Learning with Dr. Lynn Swaner.

Together, Maggie and Roger explore:

• Practical ways teachers and school leaders can implement and support service learning.

• How service learning fosters biblical worldview formation in students by cultivating empathy, purpose, academic growth, and excitement.

We encourage you to capture opportunities to move beyond mandatory volunteer hours and build authentic service-learning experiences that shape students' heads, hearts, and habitual ways.

How do you help young students see the world through the lens of God’s bigger story? In this episode of Teach Biblically, Maggie Pope sits down with third-grade teacher Megan Moses to explore how the biblical themes of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration can shape everyday learning. Megan gives us some practical ideas from her classroom and encourages teachers to make this framework simple, natural, and engaging. Whether you’re new to biblical integration or looking for fresh inspiration, this conversation will remind you that every lesson is an opportunity to point students back to God’s truth.
