Refreshing to hear educators of faith and grounded in sound research
Great to get some solid research- and faith-based perspective on education. The podcast is not too long, but long enough to go into sufficient depth. Thanks for offering this.

After listening to the Rich Osguthorpe episode on teaching morally and teaching morality I wished this would be required listening for all teachers. Great stuff. Caused me to re-think some things as a parent and how I teach my kids day in and day out.
