The ability to work with one’s hands is often pitted against the intellectual vocations, as though the two were sworn enemies—disciplines incapable of reconciliation. The notion that college weakens the hands is not an argument but a symptom: the fruit of a misguided and miseducated populace that reduces academia to little more than white-collar job placement.
A true understanding of the liberal arts reveals something far richer. A good education is one that forms the whole person—cultivating the holistic faculties of the human being. A genuinely classical liberal arts education should train its adherents to build with their minds while strengthening the disciplined use of their hands.
In this episode, Lennox Kalifungwa is joined by New Saint Andrews College alumnus Brad Covington, a firefighter and successful business owner. Brad reflects on his time at NSA and offers a compelling account of how a blue-collar man was not hindered, but strengthened, by a Christian liberal arts education.
