We often think about Classical Christian Education in terms of what it’s against. It’s against public schools, secularism, and bad social influences. But what is a classical Christian education for? Dale Stenberg who hosts the Pilgrim Faith podcast and serves as headmaster of Pietas Classical Christian school join us to talk about the positive vision of a Christian education. We talk about how a classical Christian education molds a student as a whole person, mind, body, and soul, to be a self-learner and a virtuous citizen of society. We talk about the importance of dialogue, narrative, and cultivating our palettes to love the good, true, and beautiful. We also discuss common myths about classical education creating sheltered socially-awkward students or belligerent culture warriors. Join us as we uncover the purpose and joy of education.

The name John Calvin sends a cold chill down the spine of some Christians. The famous Reformer seems cold, detached, and authoritarian due to his teachings on predestination, election, and his role in the execution of the heretic Servetus. But there’s more to Calvin’s story than meets the eye. What if we’ve misunderstood him completely? Dr. Peter Lillback of Westminster Theological Seminary joins us to shed new light on the life and theology of Calvin. This towering figure in church history viewed himself first and foremost as a pastor and preacher concerned with the Eucharist, missions, and even religious liberty. Join us as we get to the heart of the real John Calvin.

How should Christians think about contentment in all situations of life. When times are good there’s a temptation to complacency. When times are difficult we struggle with despair and bitterness. Calvin encourages Christians to meditate on the fragility and temporary nature of life in order to cultivate eternal hope.

Roman Catholics often critique the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura because it devolves into subjectivity and ignores the witness of church history. In this episode, Sean Luke of Anglican Aesthetics challenges those critiques by looking at what both the Church Fathers and the Reformers actually believed. He also advocates for the position of “Sola Apostolica” as a way to demonstrate the Reformers as the true heirs of the Apostolic teaching. He also takes issue with Roman Catholic claims about doctrinal development, papal declarations about dogma, and the role of personal judgment. Finally, we end the conversation with a discussion on the future of Catholic-Protestant dialogue and a potential plan for reunification.

We continue our series on John Calvin’s A Little Book on the Christian Life by looking at the Reformer’s insights on suffering and trials. We learn about the way suffering contributes to our salvation, forges in us the virtue of patience, and spurs us on toward greater joy.

Onsi Kamel joins us to talk about how his study of Roman Catholicism made him Protestant. In this episode we discuss the ways Roman Catholicism appealed to his need for certainty and hunger for historical rootedness. He also talks candidly about the influence of the famous Anglican-turned-Roman Catholic theologian John Henry Newman. He shares ways Newman challenged his thinking as well as ways he found the theologians conclusions unsatisfying. Onsi also speaks on the future of ecumenical dialogue and the importance of engaging with the Reformers.

Do you or someone you love suffer from “Cage-Stage Calvinism?” We have the antidote from the original Calvinist himself, John Calvin. In this episode we look at the first two chapters of his classic work A Little Book on the Christian Life to hear practical and pastoral advice from Calvin on connecting doctrine to life, loving self-sacrificially, and living generously with our money. Our hope is that through this episode you’ll see Calvin for who he truly is: not an ivory tower theologians concerned only with abstract notions of predestination and election, but a pastor and shepherd of people striving to live godly lives. He encourages us to celebrate small wins, persevere through trials, and worship God with all our being.

Dr. Matt Hoskin of the Davenant Institute joins the show to talk about how Protestants can benefit from the Desert Fathers. The Desert Fathers left civilization in order to seek God with a single mind. They fasted, took vows of celibacy, and fought the occasional demon. Our modern eyes look at the Desert Fathers with cynicism, but that betrays a lack of understanding on our part of the spiritual realities that constantly surround us. Dr. Hoskin encourages us to see the wisdom of the Desert Fathers especially in an age of technological distractions. They may provide the key to waking us up from our own spiritual apathy toward a life dedicated to God.
