Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 62: Raising Sturdy Kids: Why Children Need Struggle, Courage, and Truth
Q: What is courage?
Courage is the ability to do what I know is right when it's hard or when I don't want to, especially in the face of peer pressure or ridicule, and it is what tests and sustains all other virtues.
Episode 61: Hildegard College: Restoring Polymathy and Redemptive Entrepreneurship
Q: What role does beauty play in Hildegard's approach to education?
Beauty guides the formation of discernment across disciplines, helping students encounter truth with moral seriousness and inspiring them toward creative action beyond mere procedural knowledge.
Episode 61: Hildegard College: Restoring Polymathy and Redemptive Entrepreneurship
Q: How does Hildegard integrate the liberal arts with entrepreneurship?
By pairing Foundations of Thought, a great-books curriculum, with an Entrepreneurship Lab that emphasizes real projects, internships, and industry collaboration to turn theoretical learning into tangible impact.
Episode 61: Hildegard College: Restoring Polymathy and Redemptive Entrepreneurship
Q: Why focus on a micro-college model rather than joining the existing large university system?
Because smaller, tightly integrated communities with a shared core curriculum and mentorship create deeper formation, practical outcomes, and a sense of belonging that larger universities struggle to deliver.
Episode 51: Common Humanity at the Crossroads: A Conversation with Dr. Angel Parham
Q: Can you talk about the integration of different cultural traditions in classical education?
Dr. Parham explains how classical education can be seen as a crossroads of traditions coming together.
