Episode 158: Shining Your Light Into Their School Day
As parents, we want to be a positive influence and encouragement to our kids’ teachers as we partner with them in their education! Stacia McKeever works for Answers in Genesis and also enjoys the different roles she plays in the lives of her three boys, many of which include their public school! Stacia reminds us that no matter the educational partnership we choose, we are the shepherds of our children and are called to show up as salt and light everywhere we go. You’ll hear how you, like Stacia, can be involved in your kids’ school day by being an active, helpful partner to their educators.
Are you ready to hear how you can shine your light into your kids’ school day? Let’s go!
STACIA MCKEEVER has worked for Answers in Genesis–US since 1997, when she graduated from Clearwater Christian College with a BS in biology and BA in psychology. She is the author of Crafted by God and Why is Keiko Sick? and has written for Answers magazine, the AiG website, the New Answers Book, and other publications. Her curriculum credits include the Answers for Kids Bible Curriculum and The Pilgrim’s Progress All-in-One Curriculum. Stacia has spoken and written on the topic of disability since her oldest son was diagnosed with a genetic condition called Williams syndrome. Since 2008, she has served as the project manager for the Answers VBS program.
Stacia lives in a home in a holler with her husband and three sons. They have a dozen chickens (depending on the day) and several hundred thousand bees. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, and writing, but not exercising.
