Let Your Light Shine! 

And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. (John 3:19)

To save us. To give us new life!

SEL seeks to strengthen five competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Sounds good, right? But back up a minute and ask yourself: Through what worldview lens are these character skills being taught? Is it the proper role of the state to teach these things? How will they measure success in these skills?
