Kingdom Culture Conversations
Northwest Christian School's annual student-centered, Gospel-reading campaign is called REDLETTERCHALLENGE.ORG.
And, we tend to get so excited about all of it -- students, the Gospels, and the art and science of inspiring students to develop a daily devotional discipline -- that things tend to get carried away!
That's certainly the case with Fall 2026. Launched in elementary chapel on Wednesday, August 26th, REDLETTERCHALLENGE.ORG invites students into the daily discipline of time in God's word. We read one chapter per day, working our way through the four gospels, over the course of three months. Along the way, as we work to inspire a love of daily time with Jesus, we provide extrinsic reminders of the intrinsic worth that such a commitment can make in their lives!
To assist our families with this process, as we move through the Red Letter Challenge, each day for the next several weeks, we're going to publish a podcast episode within the Kingdom Culture Conversations venue, that features Geoff Brown reading that day's gospel chapter.

Paul Campey, Partner, Resolve Consultants: A Candid Deep Dive into the Financial Sustainability of Christian Education Generally and Northwest Christian School Specifically
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As we will learn today, education in Australia is different. Very different. Without the stringent separation between church and state that we find in the U.S., the Australian government uses public funding to support both public and private schools. As a result, close to half of Australian students are enrolled in private education with many of these young people enrolled in faith-based schools.
But, there's a catch.
In Australia, the government requires strict financial reporting of these schools. Paul Campey, an Aussie with feet in both the CPA world and the world of Christian education founded Resolve Consultants in order to stand in the gap. Paul developed a thorough reporting instrument that both provides the Australian government with the peace of mind that they are seeking and the ability for Australian Christian schools to glean a clear understanding of their financial standing and sustainability.
Having run this program for years, establishing a baseline for sustainable, financial performance through developing a series of Key Performance Indicators, Paul began to wonder how Australian baselines compared against American baselines. He was stunned to discover that no one in the U.S. was doing the sort of financial analysis that he was providing.
Today, we will hear Paul's story, learn how Grand Canyon University worked to bring Resolve to the U.S., and how American Christian ed is performing generally.
More to the point, having now done two analyses of Northwest Christian School over three years, Paul will reveal--candidly and forthrightly--how NCS is faring today and how it will likely fare in the years to come!
