The Third Place
Sinny Sin Sin
Our guest is Kyle Hoffsmith, Pastor of Family Ministry at Old North Church
https://oldnorthchurch.org/
A recent statement from a popular Christian YouTuber sparked controversy by claiming that sending your kids to public school is a sin. Kyle joins us to respond to that claim and help unpack what Scripture actually says—and doesn’t say—about parenting, discipleship, and education.
We talk about how youth ministry is changing, what Gen Z looks like in the church today, whether you can really tell what kind of school a student attends, and how churches can partner with families no matter their schooling choices.
We also highlight Old North Church’s 5th Annual Equipped Conference for youth on March 7. Register here: https://equipped2026.com/
