St. Brendan's Podcast Kevin Love

We're often deceived into thinking that if we just teach our kids the "right" answers, we will have done our job. Check. Complete.

But instruction on the particulars is simply not enough. Otherwise, what happens once your kids move out and confront a question for which they hadn't studied? Can you really say they are well prepared for a robust Christian life?

This is why any education worthy of the adjective "Christian" must impart a distinctly Christian lens through which our children will see ALL the particulars of life. Education is never neutral, so ours shouldn't pretend to be either.

Join Headmaster Kevin Love and Pastor Eric Conn for Season 1, Episode 3 as they discuss the importance of imparting this Christian lens for our children.

How must we Christians educate our children amidst an idolatrous culture? Christianly, of course, but what does this really mean? Has that adjective become a useless platitude? It doesn't have to be.

Our latest episode for the St. Brendan's Podcast is the first installment as we try to answer the question, "What is a Christian education?"

Principle #1 registers loud and clear: Christian education must pour a Christian foundation. Your children will either worship the creature or they will worship the Creator. They will either fear God or they will fear man. They will either follow God's law or they will follow man's law. They are either for Christ or against him–there is no middle ground.

Join us, Pastor Eric Conn and Headmaster Kevin Love, as we discuss the importance of pouring this Christian foundation.

Could the very state-run school system designed to educate our children be subverting the core values that Christian families hold dear? Kevin Love, headmaster at St. Brendan's Classical Christian Academy in Ogden, UT, helps navigate the treacherous waters of public school indoctrination, where the undertow of secular humanism and relativism threatens to pull our youth away from Christian beliefs.

Kevin and co-host Eric Conn talk about Ephesians 6 and Deuteronomy 6, asking a pivotal question: "What is the point of Christian education?" We also talk about Alan Bloom's prescient observations on the rise of relativism, which illuminates our discussion as we sound the alarm for Christian parents to take decisive action. The call to arms is clear: it's time to consider educational alternatives like St Brendan's Classical Christian Academy or Christian homeschooling to safeguard our children's faith and values.

As we press forward, we tackle the intricate dance between educational influence and cultural impacts, taking cues from Bloom's "The Closing of the American Mind." The stakes are high in this battle for the hearts and minds of the next generation, and our strategy involves intervening before college, shaping the perspectives of our youth to appreciate the true, the good, and the beautiful.
