  • 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.

Forging the American Mind with David Goodwin
Q: Why was the book Battle for the American Mind so impactful?
Because it tied current civic and educational problems to the concept of paideia and showed how classical education could address the root causes driving national concerns.
Rooting our Families with Jennifer Freeman
Q: What is the first stage and how does it shape a child's identity and faith formation?
The holding stage focuses on physical care and securing the child's identity, establishing attachment and a sense of being loved, which lays the foundation for faith and identity formation as they grow.
A Framework for Classical Education with Lindsey Ralls (Series: What is Classical Christian Education?)
Q: Why emphasize formation over information?
Because forming a student's character and virtues prepares them to navigate the world with wisdom, rather than merely compiling facts that may be forgotten when tests are over.
A Framework for Classical Education with Lindsey Ralls (Series: What is Classical Christian Education?)
Q: What is classical Christian education at its core?
At its core, it's paideia—transferring time-tested traditions and values across generations, shaping students through virtue, formation, and the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty, rather than only focusing on information.
The Art of Friendship with Dirk Bellamy
Q: How can we structure family life to ensure a child's social development includes meaningful friendships?
Incorporate intentional routines (e.g., scheduled activities with a focus on deeper conversations), encourage face-to-face interaction, and consciously invest time in helping kids meet and connect with peers who share core values.
