Summary:Matt George and Mark Zockoll recap a gathering of state Christian school association leaders held at the Herzog Foundation in August. They discuss the size of the room, the range of states represented, and the practical conversations that took place around school choice, funding, leadership, and starting new Christian schools.The episode is also a window into how different state associations are navigating very different realities. From tax credit provisions to Title funding and school-launch initiatives, the conversation centers on what Christian schools can do now and how leaders can learn from one another without pretending every state situation is the same.Timestamps:00:00 - Christian school leaders gather at the Herzog Foundation01:14 - How Lydia Quick brought state associations together02:11 - More than 2,600 schools and 590,000 students represented03:06 - Connections with Iowa, Heartland, and Jeff Walton06:23 - First impressions of the Herzog Foundation campus07:50 - Dr. Daryl Jones on prayer and the foundation’s origins09:03 - Faith in Nations and student leadership opportunities10:28 - Lydia Quick’s quiet leadership and Iowa’s momentum11:39 - Why the room felt like a safe space for honest dialogue13:58 - Disagreement without division in a room of Christian leaders16:24 - Eleven states represented and wildly Follow UsYouTube: Christian Principals Podcast Instagram: @cprincipalspod Email: [email protected] Website: www.christianprincipalspodcast.com X: @CPrincipalsPod LinkedIn: Christian Principals PodcastExplore the Herzog Foundation's offerings for Christian schools at www.herzogfoundation.com.
