Friends and Family,
I just released what I believe to be one of the most important episodes I’ve ever done on the Counterrevolution Podcast.
In this conversation, I sat down again with Rhonda Thomas, founder and president of Truth in Education — a bold Christian organization on the front lines exposing what’s really happening inside America’s schools.
This time around we discussed their explosive “GoldMind” (Gold Mine) report series, which uncovers how popular mindfulness programs (Inner Explorer, Mind Up, Mind Lift, etc.) are being used to collect massive amounts of sensitive psychological and behavioral data on our children.
What we covered:
How these “wellness” programs function as sophisticated data mining tools
The backdoor methods schools and tech companies use to collect data without real parental consent
The spiritual danger of introducing Hindu-rooted mindfulness meditation into public school classrooms as daily practice
Background surveillance tools monitoring students’ devices — even at home
Why Social Emotional Learning (SEL) has become the gateway to this new era of student surveillance
The chilling bipartisan push toward AI-driven education (including a revealing clip featuring Laura Bush)
This isn’t theory. These programs are already running in thousands of schools across the country. Our children are being treated as data points in someone else’s experiment.
As a millennial dad, I’ll be honest — our generation has been far too apathetic about these issues. But we cannot afford to stay asleep. What is being done to the next generation is spiritual warfare dressed up as “mental health” and “social emotional learning.”
Rhonda Thomas is a true warrior on this front, and I’m grateful for her clarity and courage.

Key takeaway from this conversation:
We cannot “fix” the government school system. The data harvesting, ideological capture, and spiritual compromise have gone too far. The best thing most Christian parents can do is remove their children from these institutions and pursue homeschooling or faithful Christian education.
If you are a pastor or a leader in the local church (which covers about everyone) please look into this, familiarize yourself with this information and educate those in your sphere of influence. This stuff has long term implications that will affect our children and their children’s children.
For those who have no choice but to put your kids in public (government) school, this episode will give you critical awareness and practical next steps.
I encourage you to listen, share this with your church group, small group, and especially with other parents. The time for complacency is over.
