Modern education pretends to be neutral. It’s not. Every classroom is a battleground of belief. In this episode of The Household Reformation Podcast, Bryan and Pastor Austin walk through the forgotten roots of Christian education— tracing the roots from Athens to Rome to Jerusalem. We talk about the trivium and the difference between a Classical Christian education and a non-classical, but distinctly Christian education. Tutor-households. Paideia. And why the kitchen table— not the state— is the true center of learning.

We also tackle the myth of neutrality, the role of fathers in discipleship, and how beauty, poetry, and biblical memory shape the soul. Whether you homeschool, private school, or something in between— this episode is a call to reclaim education as worship.

Highlights:

* Why your household is the first seminary

* The classical roots of Western Christian education

* The problem with outsourcing to Caesar

* How tutor-households form disciples, not just students

* Austin’s perspective as the head of a Christian school

* Recovering joy, beauty, and gospel-driven formation

This isn’t about test scores.It’s about souls.
