  • Inspired

    I wish I’d found this a long time ago because it would have been so validating to have heard these podcasts in real time raising toddlers and preschoolers BUT I am inspired every time I listen to the show. I have binge listened and as a school board member at a Christian school, there are lots of fantastic nuggets that are shared. It gives me hope for our future generation of students. As a mom, the different supplemental ideas are so valuable for helping bring in even more of the classical appr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Forming Souls - Not Just Minds with Heidi White
Q: Why do you believe stories have such transformative power in shaping a child's soul?
She argues that stories unite the intellect and spirituality, forming desires and virtues; literature acts as a mirror to our inner life and helps orient children toward truth, goodness, and beauty.
Forming Souls - Not Just Minds with Heidi White
Q: For folks that don't know your story, share a little bit of how you got into this world of classical Christian education.
Heidi White explains her homeschooling journey, discovery of classical education, attending the Searcy Institute, and how the classics shaped her own vocation and teaching methods.
Beyond “Can My Kid Watch This?” with Brett McCraken
Q: How can educators foster better media conversations with students?
Use guided questions that probe for grace, theological truths in media, and how content shapes affections; encourage group viewing, and facilitate discussions that connect film content to love of God and neighbor.
Beyond “Can My Kid Watch This?” with Brett McCraken
Q: What factors should parents consider when deciding whether to show a movie to their kids?
Consider the age and sensitivities of the audience, create preparatory questions, watch in community, and use discernment about whether the content blesses or harms formation; be willing to stop a movie if it feels like a waste of time or erodes one's soul.
Beyond “Can My Kid Watch This?” with Brett McCraken
Q: Walk us through how you would set up Project Hail Mary for a group and what questions you'd prompt for discussion?
Present it as a springboard to discuss grace and the human condition, focusing on the lead character's virtues, sacrifice, and how the film invites reflection on Christian ideas like grace and humility; encourage questions about whether the film depicts a Christ-like figure and what virtues are celebrated.
