President Brad Hoganson invites Joyce Aamot to the podcast as he celebrates her ministry through Morning Son Christian School and Hillcrest Academy. Joyce is retiring after the upcoming school year, marking an impressive career that is filled with excellence and self-sacrifice as she led Morning Son Christian School through a dynamic transition with grace and resolve to join the school to Hillcrest Academy while also adjusting the entire curriculum into the classical model. This week we also hear how the theme was developed, as Ryan Garvin and '23-24 Student Body Chaplain Matthew Knutson explain the process and highlight some finer points to the theme they will accentuate this year.

We also hear a testimony from alumn Elliot Pribbenow who shares how he changed at Hillcrest. Elliot was shy and struggled to understand the world, but during his time at Hillcrest he found the design in the world and how the church and church history provides guidance to fulfilling God's call on the lives of individuals, specifically on his own life.
