    Jacob Shatzer: Integrating Faith and Education - EP 148

    Jacob Shatzer: Integrating Faith and Education - EP 148

    What is education ultimately for? How should we think about public and private education? And is education merely about job readiness? Dr. Jacob Shatzer returns to the podcast to cast a vision for a theologically rich Christian vision of education. He encourages us to integrate faith and education, and he highlights challenges in education we need to prepare for.

    In “Headlines” (1:05), Dr. Brad Littlejohn reacts to conservatism’s recent disdain for institutions. “We’re all Jacobins now,” he says — and he explains what he means by that phrase.

    And in “On My Bookshelf” (30:45), Dr. Shatzer recommends a book of fiction.

Informative and Balanced

This podcast was a breath of fresh air. I was apprehensive at first that being a Southern Baptist seminary this podcast would be preachy, overly conservative, and only include their people (tribe) as guest. I could not have been more wrong. They have engaged guests and professors from varying backgrounds. The conversations have been balanced, informative, and challenging. Dr Keathley, Dr Quinn, and Nate are great hosts.

God centered conversations

This is what is needed. Easy to listen to with emphasis on being God-centered. If I was to be picky, I would say the only downfall is Scripture is not read often. However, just my opinion. This no star is deducted because God is mentioned in every facet of the podcast! Well done!

Christ and Culture

If you are looking to explore topics where theology and culture intersect this podcast should definitely be on your list. The episodes are long enough to get started on a topic but not too long as to make it difficult to stay engaged as a listener. Congratulations on making it to 100 episodes!
