- Religion & Spirituality
This podcast explores how the grand narrative of the Bible shapes the whole experience of Christian schooling. Each episode welcomes you into an authentic conversation that seeks to connect how the Christian faith and worldview forms teaching and learning, directs curricular and co-curricular programs, and frames the daily practices of school life. You will hear from school administrators, teachers, and students as we examine God’s invitation to his distinctively-gifted image bearers to join him and each other in community to unlock the hidden potential of creation and glorify him. Charge: A CCS Podcast is a production of Chattanooga Christian School.
