In this special episode of The Spartan Show podcast, we’re honored to sit down with two longtime pillars of our community, devoted parents, and dedicated board members Bob Phillips and Mike Roberson. With decades of combined experience walking alongside the school, watching their own children grow from wide-eyed kindergarteners into young men and women of faith and conviction, Bob and Mike bring a unique and deeply personal perspective on what makes Christ Covenant truly exceptional.
Join us as we go beyond the surface and unpack the real-life journey of raising children in a Christ-centered educational environment. Together, we explore the often difficult but always purposeful financial decisions families must navigate to keep classical Christian education a top priority in the home. We reflect candidly on the challenges of stewardship, the sacrifices that make this mission sustainable, and the profound gratitude that comes from seeing God faithfully provide year after year.
Most importantly, we celebrate the far greater reward: the work of Christ taking place in the lives of their children. Bob and Mike share moving stories of how the school’s commitment to the Bible, virtue, and discipleship has shaped their children, producing young adults marked by wisdom, humility, courage, and a measured love for Christ Jesus.
Whether you’re a current parent, an alumnus family, or someone considering Christ Covenant for your children, this heartfelt conversation will encourage, challenge, and remind you why we do what we do. Pull up a chair and listen in as two fathers who have lived this mission for decades share their wisdom, their struggles, and their overwhelming thankfulness for God’s faithfulness at Christ Covenant School in Winterville, NC!
