    Ep 12 | Bonus(!): A Habit Training Case Study

    It's about that time of year when you're starting school and possibly attending co-op. Even if you're not in a co-op, you've probably noted some needed habit training in your crew. This is a case study about my real-life habit training for co-op last year. I'm grateful to report co-op is a smashing good time for all this year. __________ You can find the full episode notes here (including my footnotes for this episode).

    Ep 10 | Do I Really Need Latin for the Old Stories?: An Interview with Angela Reed

    I can’t leave this Latin question alone, can I? Our children are inheriting the richness of the Western tradition and the debt we owe to our Latin past is great. From history to theology, poetry to philosophy, we’re standing upon the shoulders of Latin writers. If all you’ve ever known of Latin instruction is terrified, bored students with a strict teacher, I think you’ll enjoy today. Get ready to catch the vision and answer the question: Does Latin form my children to move in the world in a better way? I’m joined by Mrs. Angela Reed to discuss learning Latin through story; how children inhabit language, and the aliveness of Latin—even today.

    Ep 09 | The Magic of Re-Reading: An Interview with Laura E. Wolfe and Lisa Rose

    One thing I rarely hear mentioned in the classical world is the need for re-reading great stories. Maybe it’s a fear of ruining our habit of attention or a symptom of our modern need to consume and move on, but we’ve missed something important when it comes to revisiting stories. So, let’s ask: How does re-reading change us as readers? I’m joined by Laura E. Wolfe and Lisa Rose to discuss why it’s important we revisit stories, how revisiting makes us readers (instead of consumers), and what we can all learn from Charlotte Mason’s literary life. Plus, we have our first ever baby guest. Footnotes for this episode Patterns for Life, Wolfe & Rose Patterns for Life | Website Patterns for Life | Substack Patterns for Life | YouTube Laura E.

    Ep 08 | The Medieval Mind of My Favourite Storyteller: An Interview with Dr. Jason Baxter

    Could we have a season about story without touching on my favourite storyteller, the great Jack Lewis? We could not. Many of us know Lewis as the great author of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, or Til We Have Faces. Some of us know him as the everyman theologian who gave us the wartime addresses and Mere Christianity. But there’s a lesser-known third part to Lewis: the medievalist. A self-proclaimed dinosaur, Lewis’ mind was of another time and this is the secret reason for the richness of his stories. So, we should all be wondering: What is the medieval mind and how did Lewis form one? I’m joined by Dr. Jason Baxter to discuss the medieval mind of C.S. Lewis and how his “breathing the Middle Ages” might be exactly what we need to regain our footing in a world enchanted with truth, goodness, and beauty. Footnotes for this episode The Medieval Mind of C.S. Lewis, Jason Baxter Dr. Baxter | Website On Plato’s Timaeus, Calcidius “Meditations in a Toolshed”, C.S. Lewis “On Stories”, C.S. Lewis “De Descriptione Temporum”, C.S. Lewis The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis The Divine Comedy, Dante “On Fairy-Stories”, J.R.R.

    Ep 07 | Reads of Requirement: An Interview with Rachel Woodham

    It’s generally accepted that children need good stories. It’s not generally accepted that good stories are the most important thing read to children. We moderns think of fiction as a treat, a bonus, or an escape; it’s nice but certainly not something we have to require for school. This is why many new classical moms find themselves confused while looking over a book list of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit, and The Secret Garden for next term. If education is about the future, then we have a question: Shouldn’t I give my children real stories to prepare them for the real world? I’m joined by Rachel Woodham to discuss how stories are a better preparation for Reality and why every mother-teacher should create her list of Reads of Requirement for her home. Footnotes for this episode Mudd and Sapphires | Substack The Still Point | CiRCE Institute column “Harry Potter, Read of Requirement” “No Bottom: Delighting in Shakespeare with the Young” Chance or the Dance?: A Critique of Modern Secularism, Thomas Howard Til We Have Faces, C.S.

    Ep 06 | How Our Practices Shape the Story We Tell Ourselves: An Interview with Tsh Oxenreider

    We know it’s important to consider the ideas we take in because they form us deeply, but have you ever considered how what you act out forms you just as deeply? The practices we choose to make habits (or the ones we unintentionally form as habits) shape the story we tell ourselves about God, ourselves, and our lives. So, we should all be asking: What practices help me tell a true, good, and beautiful Story to myself? I’m joined by Tsh Oxenreider to discuss how our practices should aim at our telos, how the historic Church has practiced this, and some of our favourite practices to bring into your home.
