Why does it seem that wherever the government is, God can’t be? Why is it that hurting kids can’t turn to the healing power of the Bible during the school day? LifeWise Academy, a nonprofit providing Bible education to public school students during school hours, in partnership with Fathom Entertainment, the leading specialty distributor of content to theatrical partners worldwide, addresses these questions in its debut film, Off School Property: Solving the Separation of Church and State. The feature documentary, directed by Nate Lundquist, will be released nationwide on Thursday, October 23, 2025.
For much of American history, the Bible was a foundational text in public education, used for teaching both reading and moral lessons. Off School Property explores the removal of the Bible from public schools in the 1960s, the lasting impact that has had on society, and the growing movement to bring Bible education back to the public school day.
