In classical education, we like to say that learning is good for its own sake. We enjoy long-form conversations with folks who care deeply about the spiritual formation of the next generation--particularly parents, educators, and leaders from all walks of life. This podcast started when Paul Fisher was leading Capstone Classical Academy in Fargo, ND, but it is now a production of Agios Education, a ministry that helps parents and classical and Christian school leaders achieve big vision in their learning communities. You never know where the road will take you when you engage in learning for learning's sake!
