Together, they discuss why learning is not complete until students actively use, articulate, and revisit what they have been taught. This conversation highlights the power of consistent review, Socratic dialogue, and joyful accountability, reminding educators that knowledge must move beyond exposure into ownership.

Learners must actively reproduce in their own minds the truth they are acquiring.In this seventh episode of our Seven Laws of Teaching series, Ryan Gilmore is joined by Logic School Humane Letters Chair Cara Pilgreen to explore John Milton Gregory's Law of the Learning Process. Together, they examine how true learning moves beyond memorization into understanding, expression, proof, and application, requiring active ownership from the student. This conversation encourages teachers and parent co-teachers alike to slow down, invite curiosity, and cultivate learners who investigate truth deeply, connect ideas meaningfully, and carry their learning into life with wisdom and faith.Free PDF of The Seven Laws of Teaching by John Milton Gregory through Veritas Press! https://www.oakgroveclassical.com/https://www.instagram.com/oakgroveclassicalacademy/https://www.facebook.com/OakGroveClassical/https://naumsinc.org/ https://classicalchristian.org/

Students today need to be deeply formed to love what is true and beautiful, and they also need practical skills and confidence that comes from real life experiences they can carry into college, career, and beyond.In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens sits down with Mitchell Slater, founder and CEO of Slater Strategies, to talk about entrepreneurship, risk, and why many students are not being prepared for real life as well as they could be.Mitchell shares his story of growing up homeschooled in Alaska, learning hard work through real responsibilities, and starting his first business at 17 because his parents gave him room to try and learn. Together, they unpack why failure is such a powerful teacher, why our culture fears it, and how schools can create safe environments for students to practice real-world problem solving.They also dive into Mitchell's SMT program, which trains a small team of students to help tell their school's story through marketing, communication, and community engagement, without handing students unrestricted tech or social media access.

Welcome to the Influence Podcast! I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. "In the last sixty years in the USA, some churches shifted strategies and adopted a model that focused almost exclusively on numerical expansion," writes Marroquin. "New sanctuaries and program adjustments were made with the goal of reaching the unchurched. And praise God, the model produced some good results." She goes to note that this model replaced Sunday school and discipleship groups to make room for more worship services. "Somehow, churches believed they would still be making disciples without intentionally placing emphasis on God's Word. The results are in: We have many churches filled with followers of Jesus who desperately need help." In this episode, I talk to Marroquin about what churches can do to refocus on discipleship, based on her new book, A Disciple's Growth: 7 Dimensions of Spiritual Formation. Elloy Marroquin is an ordained minister and national director of Christian Education, Discipleship, and Family Ministries for the Assemblies of God. My conversation with her begins after a brief word from our sponsor.   SPONSOR AD This episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Europe 365 Daily Devotions.

Together they examine the difference between delivering information and cultivating real thinking, emphasizing that true learning requires active mental engagement, not passive reception. The conversation addresses practical strategies such as Socratic questioning, error analysis, scaffolding, and celebrating small wins, while also reframing struggle and even failure as essential parts of growth.

The language used in teaching must be common to the teacher and the learner.In this fourth episode of our series on John Milton Gregory's Seven Laws of Teaching, Ryan Gilmore is joined by beloved grammar school teacher and department head Brooke Peyton to explore the Law of the Language. Together they reflect on why shared meaning, clear definitions, and patient communication are essential to real learning and true formation.

LEARN MORE at http://teach4theheart.com/371 In Christian schools, we tend to assume everyone is on the same page about abortion, but recent surveys indicate this is not the case. Shockingly, in a recent Ohio election, 30% of Christian school graduates voted for abortion, revealing a deep failure to clearly teach and form a biblical worldview on this critical issue. In this episode, Linda and Troy McIntosh (OCEN) confront why we're falling short in this important area and how we can boldly, faithfully, and compassionately reclaim our responsibility to teach the truth.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm calling out a problem no one wants to confront: the normalization of partying, drinking, and casual sex especially among so-called “conservative influencers.”You cannot claim to defend Western Civilization while publicly celebrating the very behaviors that destroyed past civilizations. Conservatism without morality is just aesthetic rebellion.We don't need more clout, cocktails, or compromised values. We need a return to godliness, self-discipline, and moral responsibility because the future generations watching us will inherit whatever standard we tolerate today.If we want to save the West, we have to get serious about being truly Christian again.--https://www.bible.com/

What happens when the person preaching on Sunday morning believes something completely different than the folks sitting in the pews? Well friends, that's exactly what we're digging into today. My buddy Ryan Burge brought the graphs—including some brand new data that hasn't even dropped on his Substack yet—and let me tell you, it's a real deal predicament for Mainline Protestantism. Turns out about 60-70% of mainline clergy identify as liberal, but only about 25% of the people in the pews do. That's not a gap, that's a canyon. We're talking ELCA, UCC, PCUSA, Episcopalians—the whole crew. And look, Ryan and I are both mainline folks, so we're not throwing rocks across the river here. We're throwing rocks at our own faces. We get into why this disconnect exists, what the "silver tsunami" of aging Boomers means for these congregations, and why young progressive folks aren't joining our churches even though we thought we built them a home. It's honest, it's a little uncomfortable, and yeah, we also talk about Zion Williamson and Christmas movies because that's just how we roll. If you want to go deeper on where American religion is headed, join me and Ryan along with Tony Jones for our upcoming class The Rise of the Nones this January at www.AmericanNones.com. Come on.

Christmas is coming! It's the end of a very busy semester, and both Abby and Dave have rich and full lives. We start by checking in and talking through the things we've been up to in these past few weeks, including international travels and adventures in school leadership. From there, we pivot into our year-end sharing of great things we've read this year, and the things we're hoping to read over Christmas break. We hope that this conversation gives you some inspiration to pick up a book for your own Christmas break time–and maybe take one of our recommendations! Blessings to you as you wrap things up for the fall term, and we hope you'll experience a true sense of Christmas hope, joy, and wonder in this season of the year.

In this candid and refreshingly honest conversation, Robert and Kay Lee Fukui sit down with Jason and Elizabeth Settle, co-founders of Settled Co., to unpack what it really takes for married couples to collaborate without competing. From early power struggles and identity clashes to learning how to celebrate each other's strengths, this episode speaks directly to high-achieving couples who want to win together, not against each other. Jason and Elizabeth share their personal journey of moving from competition to partnership, highlighting how identity, self-esteem, and misplaced priorities can quietly sabotage both marriage and work. They explore why so many driven couples wrestle with power struggles, how healing individual identity creates a healthier "we," and why trying to change your spouse rarely works. Their insights offer hope to couples who have tried—and failed—to work together before. The conversation also dives into a topic many entrepreneurs neglect: fun. From separating business meetings from date nights to understanding how joy, laughter, and emotional safety directly impact performance, creativity, and connection, this episode delivers practical wisdom you can apply immediately. If you're building a business while protecting your marriage, this episode will challenge how you think about identity, productivity, and the role of joy in thriving—together. Key Takeaways Power struggles are often identity struggles. Healthy collaboration starts when each spouse is secure in who they are—strong "me's" create a strong "we." Competition kills partnership. Learning to celebrate each other's strengths instead of resenting them transforms both marriage and work. Your spouse is not your project. Real growth begins when you stop trying to change your partner and focus on personal responsibility and self-control. Work can't replace relationship. When affirmation, validation, or joy come solely from work, marriage inevitably suffers. Fun is not optional—it's strategic. Laughter, joy, and shared experiences build emotional connection, reduce pressure, and improve performance. Separate business from romance. Dedicated business meetings and protected date nights help couples stay connected without blurring boundaries. Joy fuels resilience. In seasons of uncertainty or financial pressure, intentionally choosing fun helps couples stay emotionally connected and grounded. Love rejoices in truth. Focusing on what's right about your spouse—not keeping score—puts wind in your sails as a couple.

Katie currently serves as a high school teacher in Iowa, where she is a master at connecting with kids. Abby invited Katie to her Applied Educational Psychology class as a guest speaker as they focused on classroom management strategies. Abby interviewed Katie, and our future teachers raised questions as well–and we put them in front of the microphone to turn it into a podcast episode. Katie and Abby have all kinds of great ideas for building relationships with students and mitigating challenging classroom behaviors. We hope you'll learn a few things as you listen in as well!

Senior thesis is the capstone of a classical Christian education, and Dr. Tom Vierra believes it may be one of the most countercultural things schools do today. In this episode, Davies Owens talks with Tom, longtime classical educator and Senior Thesis Coordinator at Wilson Hill Academy, about why thesis is far more than “just a big paper.” Tom shares his path from early days at Great Hearts to helping shape Wilson Hill's senior thesis program, where students research a topic that matters, write a 12–15 page thesis-driven paper, and publicly defend it. Along the way, they learn self-management, deep research, biblical reasoning, and confident communication that carry far beyond college.Together they unpack the six-part classical rhetoric structure, including exordium, narratio, and refutatio, and why Wilson Hill requires students to write an antithesis paper arguing against their own position. This habit trains humility, civil discourse, and the ability to engage real counterarguments rather than living in an echo chamber. Tom also gives examples of standout thesis topics, from classical music and beauty to AI in medicine and political theory, and explains how schools can approve ambitious topics that still reflect a biblical worldview.
