Join us as we dive into the rich intersection of classical philosophy and Christian thought with Louis Markos, Ph.D.

In this episode, we explore how ancient Greek thinkers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle contributed to understanding divine truth through general revelation. Markos illuminates fascinating connections between classical wisdom and Christian theology, discussing how these philosophers approached concepts of goodness, truth, and justice in ways that surprisingly align with biblical principles.

Today we have a critical conversation about education, discipleship, and cultural transformation with Pastor Jeff Wright. 

We’ll unpack the generational impact of educational philosophies, the need for institutional bravery, and the importance of not just deconstructing problematic systems but actively rebuilding them on biblical principles. 

Tune in to gain insights into classical Christian education, the true meaning of discipleship, and a compelling vision for raising children who understand Christ's lordship over all aspects of life.

Is there a difference between being a Christian nation vs. being a nation founded on Christian principles? Gary DeMar from American Vision dives into this question and provides fascinating insights into America's biblical foundations. Drawing from historical documents and engaging examples, he examines how even non-Christian founders like Jefferson and Franklin understood the importance of biblical principles in governance.

We also explore recent political and cultural shifts in America, why top-down governmental solutions may not be the answer to our nation’s problems, and how Christians can effect change through future-oriented personal responsibility in their families, businesses, and local communities.

Today we chat with Laura King, the Dean of Students at Veritas Scholars Academy, about an exciting mission opportunity coming up in 2025. The Rafiki Foundation is giving VSA families the opportunity to come partner with them as they provide classical education to children at their Kenya campus (one of 40+ classical schools they’ve started in Africa!).

The Rafiki Foundation has been instrumental in building a robust classical Christian curriculum and network of schools across 14 different African countries. They are caring for orphans, training teachers, and providing biblically-sound educational resources to local churches and communities.

Are myths a waste of time, or do they hold profound relevance in our modern world? Today we explore this question with author John Hendrix as he reveals how J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis understood the enduring power of mythology in an age that prioritized reason and science.

Join us as we unpack how myths provide more than mere entertainment. They offer a portal to explore universal human experiences, our longing for the new heavens and earth, and our desire to be part of a greater narrative. In an era where modernity has "exhausted us," find out why mythical stories continue to resonate and provide a sense of belonging that transcends the limitations of a merely fact-based worldview.
