#4: Ray Moore - We need an EXODUS from the government schools

I’m thrilled to have a very special guest with us—Ray Moore, founder of the Exodus Mandate Project. Ray has dedicated decades to equipping Christian families with the tools and vision to reclaim their children’s education. On today’s episode, we’re diving into some critical topics that every Christian parent and leader needs to hear. We’ll start by addressing the crisis in government schools and why this system is no longer an acceptable option for families who want to preserve their faith and values. We’ll also take a closer look at the vision behind the Exodus Mandate Project and why Ray believes Bible-based Christian education isn’t just an alternative—it’s the only acceptable choice for the Christian community. We will discuss the key pillars of this movement and why it’s more relevant than ever in today’s culture. And for those of you wondering what this all means in practical terms, don’t worry—we’ll discuss actionable steps for families, churches, and communities to transition toward homeschooling and Christian schools. Whether it’s mobilizing resources or building support networks, we’ll talk about how to create a national movement that puts faith back at the center of education. We’ll also explore powerful lessons from the Book of Exodus, drawing parallels between the Israelites’ journey out of Egypt and the call for Christian families today to take back control of their children’s education. It’s a packed episode, and I promise you’ll walk away with both inspiration and practical ideas for making a difference. Ray Moore is a retired Army Chaplain and Lt.
