What is truth? Our world is overrun with subjective truth, postmodernism, and emotionalism, where everyone's “truth” is equally valid and there's no such thing as objective truth. But this is a lie. As Refining Rhetoric is all about seeking the capital-T Truth in every arena of life, throughout the course of 2023 Robert asked his guests to weigh in with their definitions of truth. In this wrap-up episode for the year, Robert replays and reacts to the best responses from his guests to the question, “What is truth?” As you hear from guests like Dale Partridge, David Goodwin, Joyce Burges, Israel Wayne, and more, you'll discover that truth is a person, why you can't build a society on lies, that the church is the pillar of truth, why you can't believe in your own subjective truth and still believe in Jesus, why you shouldn't send your children to schools that don't believe in objective truth, why truth is anything that fits into God's narrative, why real truth never changes, why our relationship with Christ ought to motivate our obedience to Him, off of what standard we should base our understanding of truth, and much more. Finally, in “Classical Crypto,” Will discusses the current market sentiment and why there is reason to be optimistic about crypto in 2024.

Education in America used to focus on reading, writing, arithmetic, and critical thinking. That's not as true today, unfortunately. Deviating from high educational standards and core American values has led to societal upheaval and a generation ignorant of the blessings and responsibilities of living in a free society. Teaching young people how to think, not what to think, prepares them for adulthood, and empowering them with truth prepares them for leadership. What can business owners do to support school choice, especially homeschooling, and how can doing so increase their bottom line?  Linda and her guest, Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, discuss this and the benefits of a well-educated populace for the future of our nation. Freedom can be lost in one generation. Let's make sure it is not lost in ours. © Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To  order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

Built on Family—Built for FamiliesClassical Conversations is a proven Christian homeschool program created by parents for parents. We do this through a Christ-centered and family-friendly approach to homeschooling that makes everything biblical and hospitable, focused on three simple key areas: Classical, Christian and Community.Our home education program covers K-4 to college credit and includes college degree opportunities for parents, as well. We believe that you are the best educator for your student, and we make the homeschool journey doable. We not only provide you with a consistent roadmap that you can follow at your own pace, but also connect you with a local homeschool community group, giving you accountability and the support of knowing you are not in this journey alone.From its origins in 1997 with eleven students and parents in the basement of Leigh Bortins' North Carolina home to proudly serving over 45,000 families now enrolled in its programs spread over 50 countries globally, Classical Conversations always was and always will be about family. The Bortins family has always valued following God's guidance in teaching other families how to “train up their children in the way that they should go.”In 2022, Fox Nation made a companion documentary retitled “The Miseducation of America.” Although the documentary differed from the book and did not align with my personal views on the problems and solutions to education, I could see the Fox team was trying to expand the conversation beyond civil government education. Accordingly, Classical Conversations (CC), my home school support organization, promoted watch parties for Season 1 and discussed our points of agreement and disagreement. The CC home-schooling community was, in general, happy to see a major media outlet finally acknowledge what we have been shouting from the rooftops for 50 years.From Fox Nation's perspective, the series was well-watched and well-received. Pete Hegseth wanted to continue the series and ignite a growing insurgency that could break the hold of civil government on education. I hoped that Season 2 would be less about the obvious results of inherently socialist education and more about the myriad of truly free-market, privately-funded, academic choices that already exist. Through some mutual friends, I was recommended as a guest for Season 2 and was excited that Pete Hegseth included me in the series. I am so grateful to have been included in the final episode. I'm pleased that Season 2 ended on a positive note with Classical Conversations and the Association of Christian Classical Schools highlighted.READ MORE HERE:Leigh Bortins, is the founder and chief visionary officer of Classical Conversations, which supports classical, Christian homeschoolers in all fifty states and in thirty foreign countries. The MisEducation of America: Season 2 is a documentary inspired by The Battle for the AmerSupport the show"Wherever you find yourself is exactly and precisely where God wills you to be" Follow us on X: @CFC30290 Follow us on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-3123766 Website: https://clarityfromchaospodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Thanks for listening to Clarity from Chaos

After graduating, he worked as a management trainee for UPS and as a plant engineer for Easy Gardener, a Jobes company. In 2011 he returned to the family business, Classical Conversations, Inc., to develop a marketing program. He was then appointed CEO of the family-owned company in 2012. In the years since Robert Bortins became CEO of Classical Conversations, the company has grown by 300 percent and has become the world's largest classical homeschooling organization.  Robert is a member of the board of directors of Homeschool Now USA, the Carolinas Rugby Union and the Clemson University Rugby Foundation Board. He is also a member of C12 Group, the largest professional development network of Christian CEOs and executives. Under Robert's leadership, Classical Conversations has been named a Certified Best Christian Workplace by BCWI for four years in a row.   Very Powerful, Convicting and Thought Provoking Takeaways  You do not need to be a trained educator to teach your children; sometimes being trained is a hinderance since homeschooling is not schooling at home but a way of life, and unlearning those habits can be hard.   When parents say they cannot be around their children all day is a sign of a deeper that parents do not want to address. Not wanting to be around your kid also means you did not raise them in way that you would want to be around them.  Education is to prepare you to engage in life and with those around you.  Homeschooling allows your teenager to mature in the areas that are important and will benefit them and their future society.   Call to Action  Resources: https://members.classicalconversations.com/free-learning-center  Books: https://classicalconversationsbooks.com/  Social Media Links  Website: https://classicalconversations.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/classicalconversations  Instagram: Look up classical conversations according to your state.  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ClassicalConv  What is Next!  Thank you for supporting this show by listening and sharing with friends!

On this episode of Anchored, Jeremy is joined by Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations. Robert shares the story of how Classical Conversation began and developed into serving over 45,000 families now enrolled in its programs spread over 50 countries globally. Robert also discusses his views on the state of mainstream education, the importance of classical education, and the need for Christians to be at the forefront of technology and innovation. 

Many people are surprised at the perceived swiftness of cultural shifts in our society affecting economic prosperity, national security, and the stability of families and communities. Freedoms we once took for granted hang in the balance. It may seem sudden, but change happens slowly until it happens all at once. Ideologies dominating the upheaval have been permeating our educational system for decades, and results are evident. How can parents and employers turn the tide and promote skills that teach how to think, not what to think?

Leigh Bortins, founder of Classical Conversations, joins the show to discuss the plethora of options available to parents who don't want their kids involved with public schools. Ms. Bortins is a long-time educator and used her experience to create Classical Conversations, a homeschool program with nationwide support.
