Should the Bible Be Taught in Public Schools? Plus Reaching the Next Generation for Christ - June 29, 2026

On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve celebrates his birthday by tackling one of the biggest faith and culture stories of the week: Texas' plan to introduce Bible-based curriculum into public schools. Is it a victory for biblical literacy, or are there important challenges Christians should consider before celebrating? Steve shares why the home—not the classroom—remains the primary place where faith should be taught and lived. Later, Steve is joined by Chris Larmoyeux for an insightful conversation about Gen Z, college ministry, and what young adults are really looking for in today's churches. Drawing from Gary Stidham's article, they discuss authenticity, meaningful relationships, serving others, and why younger generations are hungry for substance over style.
