Redeeming the Arts: Why Music and Art Education are Essential for Christian Homeschoolers Is it possible for Christians to redeem the arts from our “woke” culture? Increasingly, it seems the arts – especially popular music, theater, movies, art movements – are filled with immoral and satanic references (or even blatant perversion and satanic rituals, which the culture celebrates.)

It is up to God to change our children’s hearts, but should we not take every opportunity to teach them about Christ and…
