In the following video, "Teaching Your Kids to be In the World, Not of It, Charlie Kirk’s Speech at Educators’ Summit 2025," Charlie teaches Christian educators and parents about the essentials of learning. The highlights of the video are as follows:
1.) The Greatest Failure of Modern Education is Values-Neutral Education, teaching students skills but not values.
2) How to Fix it:
There are three questions to teach about with a Biblical worldview as a teacher or parent...
How did I get here? - We are created in the image of God
Why am I here? - To love God and love people create disciples of all nations, to know Jesus and make Him known.
Where am I going? Eventually, Heaven, as a born-again believer in Christ Jesus. (Modern evangelicals spend too much time on this question: spending time being heavenly-focused and not earthly-focused on shaping society and education)
*We must spend most of the time on the second question, because we need to give students action items on what to do. Standing up against evil, family formation, pro-life causes, contesting for your nation, etc.
Key Takeaways:
Most Christians think we are here for social justice. In this way, woke-ism has infiltrated the church and Christian education.
We as evangelicals tend to be heaven-focused, while liberals are Earth-focused. We are NOT to hide from society; we are to be salt and light.
1.) In Education - you must unabashedly reject the modern lie of values-neutral education.
2.) As a Christian educator, do not be afraid to talk about the nation- America, liberty, freedom, the Constitution, our history, so kids don't eventually fall prey to liberalism and/or agnostic Christianity.
3.) Equip Christian youth to know why they are here and what they're fighting for, so they are prepared to respond to the adult, real-world pressures to conform to Godless causes and philosophies.
We are seeing destabilizing deconstructionist, post-modernism in schools and society, affecting our youth- these are gateway drugs to undermine the authority of Scripture, eventually leading to nihilism.
There is tremendous importance in discussing every social issue in schools, as it is age-appropriate through the Biblical worldview.

Our prayer for you is that you will prayerfully consider these tenets of the importance of education with a Biblical worldview, and that it is values-based and apply it to your students and children, so that you may impact the world with the Kingdom of God, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
