(4) Steve Yates argues the "Thucydides trap" is a manufactured academic concept used by Beijing to suggest inevitable US decline. He emphasizes that the US is not a classical empire and remains globally influential. China uses this rhetoric for political warfare while remaining sensitive to American strength.ISTANBUL

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – From Captain James Lawrence's final command to Oliver Hazard Perry's victory on Lake Erie, “Don't give up the ship” echoes into modern education. Classical schools grow as families embrace faith, Western thought, phonics, rhetoric, and moral formation, proving perseverance still shapes America's classrooms and the enduring pursuit of wisdom today...

Something is wrong in the woods.The artist notices him first — and says almost nothing. One remark, on the way to the station, barely above a murmur. Then the train comes, and he is gone.It falls to Van Cheele to find out what his friend meant. What he discovers, by the pool in the oak coppice, is a boy with light brown eyes that hold something tigerish in them, lying in the sun with an ease that belongs to no child he has ever met.The aunt will find him charming. The dog will not stay in the house.Saki understood that the old country — the country before the parishes and the property lines — was never entirely tamed. The animals there talk."Gabriel-Ernest" was first published in 1909 in the Westminster Gazette, and later collected in Reginald in Russia and Other Sketches (1910).Saki was the pen name of Hector Hugh Munro (1870–1916), a writer of savage wit and supernatural unease. He was killed on the Western Front in the closing months of the Somme campaign.

A song can be a lifeline, but it can also become a loop you cannot climb out of. We take on a listener question we had to sit with: how can music help people in trouble? From breakups and work stress to grief and those days where everything feels heavy, we talk about what music actually does for the mind and body and why the “right” song changes depending on what you are going through.We get practical about using playlists as emotional tools: letting yourself play the sad songs when you need the cry, switching to angry music when sadness turns into rage, and reaching for upbeat tracks when you need a reset. We also share one of our biggest rules for mental health and music: do not overdo any one mood. If you stay in the same sonic space too long, the music can stop helping and start keeping you stuck. Sometimes the best move is to hit random, experiment with genres, and let your system find what it needs.Then we nerd out over how wordless music hits so hard. Classical can pull emotions to the surface fast, and “Adagio for Strings” comes up as a piece that sounds like grief itself, whether you connect it to Platoon or not. We also talk opera, from Carmen's drama to Mozart's The Magic Flute, as proof that music is a universal language even when you do not speak the lyrics.We also share a side story about hearing a new solo release that felt forced, and why you can tell when an artist is not feeling their own work. Finally, we draw the line clearly: music can assist, but for deeper problems you may need therapy or a music therapy professional too.

Dave's been throwing parties. Three in four days. Confirmation sponsor for a friend's son, family and friends over the next night, and then — because the universe has a sense of humor — some local gentleman decided to remodel Dave's brick mailbox. With his truck. At speed. Bricks were found over a hundred feet away. The guy left his license plate behind, which Dave is now holding like a man who accidentally picked up evidence and doesn't know what to do with it. The driver's fine. Well — he's in jail. But he's alive. Dave wants him to know that God's mercy is always ready and present, even for the man who turned a brand-new brick mailbox into gravel.Meanwhile, Adam got a new plum tree. Planted a maple. He's getting oaks for the pig pen so they'll drop acorns someday. One of his chickens died in a water barrel trap that nobody designed on purpose — the lid flipped, the chicken couldn't get out. Farm life. And then the real news: baby Mary is doing better. Haylee got to hold her. Adam held her for over three hours — only his second time since she was born in February. Three months of NICU, and the man finally got to just sit with his daughter. Praise God. Keep those prayers coming.Also — Adam's turning 40 on June 2nd. And Lady Pamela is due with their next baby on June 4th. They floated the idea of recording an episode in the delivery room. Pamela has not been consulted.This week we're sipping 13th Colony Distilleries Southern Rye Whiskey, French Oak Finish, Small Batch — 47.5% ABV. Platinum award-winning. Silky texture with hints of rye, apricot, and brown sugar. The rye's there but it doesn't overpower — still has a lot of bourbon elements to it. About forty bucks. That's a great buy.Then the conversation turns to something Adam's son Jude sparked. Jude — Adam's second oldest — just finished reading the entire Bible, Genesis through Revelation, straight through. Now he's reading the Council of Trent Catechism. He's a kid. Nobody told him to do this. He just had good books lying around the house and picked them up. That's the whole point.The virtue of study — studiositas — isn't what school taught us it was. It's not cramming. It's not memorizing facts to dump after the test. Aquinas calls it a habit of the mind ordered towards truth. Classical education at its best doesn't fill your head — it forms the way you think. The more you read rightly, the more you can arrive at correct conclusions through a sound process, not just recall. Study leads to contemplation. Contemplation is rest in truth. And it's not about finishing the book. If you're reading to check the box, you've already lost the plot. Sit with it. Let yourself be carried. The intellectual life doesn't compete with the family — it serves the family.From there, Adam and Dave go back and forth on the books that actually formed them. Adam leads with Joseph Pieper's In Tune with the World — a short, devastating argument for why festivity dies when we strip the divine out of celebration. Dave counters with The Soul of the Apostolate — the book that reordered his understanding of what has to come first before any ministry means anything. Adam brings John Senior's The Restoration of Christian Culture — hard opinions, harder truths, and a quote worth sitting with: the virtue of study requires a canon, a body of great works proven across time. Without tradition to guide what's worth studying, you're just chasing novelty.Dave goes deep on Fr. Timothy Gallagher's The Discernment of Spirits — a practical walkthrough of St. Ignatius's rules that shed light on the stages of the spiritual life and how the enemy shifts tactics as you grow. Adam responds with Raymond Arroyo's biography of Mother Angelica — a story of suffering, faithfulness, and a woman who said yes without knowing where it would lead. Dave makes a case for the Psalms — Psalm 51, the De Profundis in Latin, and the realization that there's a psalm for every moment of a man's life, and he'd been skimming past them for years.Adam goes deep cut: Fr. Paul Murray's Aquinas at Prayer — a book that reoriented his understanding of St. Thomas from pure intellect to contemplative soul. Dave brings Divine Mercy in My Soul by St. Faustina — hundreds of pages of our Lord's words on mercy that are sometimes scandalously generous. Adam throws in Simon Sinek's Start with Why as the non-Catholic book that changed how he thought about business, marriage, and fatherhood. Both men land on fiction that haunts them — Adam with Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter, Dave with Candice Millard's Hero of the Empire on young Churchill. They touch on Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Gone with the Wind, the bishop chapters of Les Misérables, Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, and close with John Senior's Thousand Good Books — the canon itself, the list that connects it all.They end where they always end: with Plato. They're halfway through the Republic in their great books group. David sits on the dumb couch. He knows he sits on the dumb couch. He's fine with it.Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDDave's brick mailbox obliterated by a truck — bricks found 100 feet away, driver in jail, license plate left behindThree parties in four days at Porter Prairie: confirmation, family gathering, and involuntary demolitionDave building a grain cradle for his scythe for the upcoming grain harvestAdam's new plum tree, maple tree, and oak trees planned for the pig penThe chicken that died in a water barrel trap nobody designed on purposeBaby Mary update — doing better, Adam held her for three hours, Haylee held her tooAdam turning 40 on June 2nd and Lady Pamela due June 4thBourbon of the week: 13th Colony Distilleries Southern Rye Whiskey, French Oak Finish, 47.5% ABVJude Minihan reading the entire Bible and now the Council of Trent Catechism — and nobody told him toWhy having good books lying around the house matters more than assigned readingThe virtue of studiositas — Aquinas on study as a habit of the mind ordered towards truthStudy isn't cramming — it's forming the way we think, not filling our headsWhy finishing the book isn't the point — sit with it, let yourself be carriedThe intellectual life doesn't compete with family — it serves the familyJoseph Pieper's In Tune with the World — why festivity dies without the divineThe Soul of the Apostolate — what has to come first before any ministry mattersJohn Senior's The Restoration of Christian Culture — hard opinions and the necessity of a canonFr.

Ancient history just got an upgrade. Forget the ruins, empires and great thinkers of the Classical period and make way for escaped slaves, subversive pirates, and freethinking religious sects. These nonconformist communities rejected hierarchy and political order in favour of creating a more equitable society.Author, religious scholar and historian Christopher Zeichmann offers an alternative lens on the Greco-Roman era in his book called Radical Antiquity: Free Love Zoroastrians, Farming Pirates, and Ancient Uprisings.

Hello!Happy Wednesday and hope all is well my curious archaeogastronomers!I've been talking, thinking, cooking ancient Greek food and culture for years now but it struck me that I haven't had the chance to speak with many experts from Greece (and Greek experts for that matter) in the subject! Or at least bring them on the podcast as guests. I am more than curious to know had they think and what have they discovered. One person I was always interested to talk to, and I know of is Mariana Kavroulaki who's work I've been following online for over a decade.So here's my interview with the amazing Greek archaeologist and food historian Mariana Kavroulaki!I've include some extra links of the topics covered in our conversation today:Beer in ancient Greece:https://beer-studies.com/en/world-history/Birth-of-brewing/Archaic-beers/Crete-GreeceFranchthi Cave:https://www.ascsa.edu.gr/uploads/media/hesperia/147874.pdfhttps://www.travel.gr/en/experiences-ee/unknown-greece/franchthi-cave-and-the-dolines-of-didyma-in-the-peloponnese/Garos episode of The Delicious Legacy and other links about the topic:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-delicious-legacy/id1494707127?i=1000535608061https://www.costatropical.net/almunecar/almunecar-monuments-fish-factory.phphttps://costieraamalfitana.com/colatura-di-alici-di-cetara/https://www.eyeonspain.com/blogs/luislopezcortijo/19372/a-sauce-with-a-lot-of-history-in-southern-spain.aspxhttps://fuegoysal.com/en/producto/flor-de-garum-of-cadiz-andalusia/Mariana's website:https://historyofgreekfood.eu/about-2/The menu from the Hellenic Centre Dinner in London in 2024:https://helleniccentre.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Feast-Menu-4.pdfLove,The Delicious LegacyThomSupport the podcast on Ko-Fi and Patreon for ad-free episodes! https://ko-fi.com/thedeliciouslegacypodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedeliciouslegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

Pianist Phillip Bush grew up in Charlotte and has had a successful career across the country as a soloist, chamber musician, and university professor. He's the next WDAV Small Batch concert at Free Range Brewing as part of the Steinway at Free Range series. On this edition of the Piedmont Arts podcast, he talks about his music education in Charlotte as well as his love of contemporary music.

Biblical tradition is wary of the pagan tendency to worship nature and of human love, so much of our imagery of Eros comes from the Classical side. Red and white: the colors of Eros on all three levels of love, sexual, romantic, and spiritual.

The Congolese guitar maestro, composer, and singer Niwel Tsumbu has become one of the most sought-after musicians in Ireland since he made this country his home in 2004. And this without ever consciously pursuing a career in music. Music was simply a passion he pursued, and it created its own road for him.Niwel: A Life in Music explores Niwel Tsumbu's life in Africa, his reasons for emigrating to Ireland, the story of his life here, and some of his musical projects across a wide range of styles. These include Irish Trad, Classical and Jazz, as well as the Congolese styles of Rhumba and Soukous.Samples of Niwel's music are interwoven with commentary from composer Mel Mercier, percussionist Eamonn Cagney, folklorist Ríonach Uí Ógáin, Niwel himself, and the presenter J.J. O'Shea, concluding with the premiere of an original composition recorded especially for the programme.In addition the programme looks at the history and culture of the Congo – a country ravaged by ongoing wars and poverty, even though it offers vital material to the modern world in terms of rare minerals which are essential for today's technologies.Niwel: A Life in Music is produced and presented by J.J. O'Shea and funded by Coimisiún na Meán.

In a recent class with three intermediate students (8th-11th grade), we compared the music of Franz Schubert and Max Richter. Schubert was a prolific Austrian composer, writing at the end of the Classical period and the beginning of the Romantic period. During his brief life, he wrote over 1,500 works. He was known for his storytelling abilities: long, singing lines, dramatic mood swings, an improvisatory style that seems to wander at times, and emotional intensity.Max Richter is a contemporary German-born pianist and composer known for blending classical techniques with electronic, ambient, and minimalist styles. He names J.S. Bach as a key influence, and has championed the works of minimalists such as Arvo Pärt and John Cage. He drew inspiration from Schubert's Winterreise when creating his 2010 album Infra.In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of this studio class, sharing the repertoire I introduced to my students, the discussion questions that guided our conversation, and a composition activity that students didn't want to end.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: Some of the links in this episode are affiliate links, which means if you decide to purchase through any of them, I will earn a small commission.

What can an art exhibition, a concert hall and Classical town tell us about twentieth century German history? On Radio 4's weekly discussion programme, setting the cultural agenda every Monday, Samira Ahmed leads a conversation exploring what inter-war Weimar, the Nazi's obsession with so-called 'degenerate art' and the programming of German music at the Wigmore Hall in London reveal about the course of German history and our responses to it. Katja Hoyer's last book, Beyond the Wall was a history of East Germany which concentrated on the consequences the Nazi rule and the Second World War. Now the Anglo-German Historian has turned her attention to Weimar, the town that gave its name to the ambitious republic whose failure paved the way to Nazism. Looking at the stories of a series of varied individuals, she asks how a nation that prided itself on its culture and civility enabled Nazism and why it haunts us to this day because we fear a repeat. Weimar: Life on the Edge of Catastrophe is BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week for a fortnight.Art historian John-Paul Stonard's new book is The Worst Exhibition in the World: Degenerate Art, 1937. The exhibition of Entartete Kunst ('degenerate art') was held in the Hofgarten arcade in Munich in the summer of 1937. Just a few weeks earlier, the same paintings and sculptures by modern German artists had been on display in some of the most prestigious museums in Germany. An extensive propaganda campaign of confiscation and defamation by the Nazis saw the condemnation of works by Jews, Bolsheviks and the enemies of the German Reich. It remains one of the most visited exhibitions ever - and it shaped views of modern art well into the second half of the twentieth century.Julia Boyd's There is Sweet Music Here: The World of Wigmore Hall tells the story of London's privately run music venue. During the Second World War it was possible for audiences to hear exiled German and Austrian Jewish musicians playing Beethoven among a wide range of recitals. Other concerts programmed included Entartete Musik (forbidden or so-called 'degenerate Music'), including the banned composer Gustav Mahler. Producer: Ruth Watts

Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, where I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.This episode is unusual, in that Sara Karloff is not a musician. She is the only daughter of Boris Karloff, star of many films but famously the 1931 adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.Sara will join composer Michael Shapiro in London on 25 October as his original score is performed in London together with a screening of Frankenstein: commissioned in 2001, it has been presented in over 75 sold-out productions worldwide. I travelled to Milan in November 2021 and the experience of hearing Michael's music while watching such a genre-defining and ground-breaking film from nearly a century ago was extraordinary.I chatted with Michael in October 2020, April 2021 and October 2024.The music I'm playing alongside my conversation with Sara Karloff is from Michael Shapiro's In the Light of the Sun, performed by members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Stathis Karapanos (flute). I was fortunate in being in the studio when this was recorded.Enjoy Frankenstein and Michael Shapiro's score, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Cadogan Hall.Get in touch to let me know what you think!Thank you for listening to Harmonious World.

In this episode of Classical Et Cetera, we ask a foundational question: What actually makes an education “classical”? Is classical education simply a collection of methods and old books, or are there essential pillars that cannot be removed? The Core Four discuss Latin, literature, moral formation, the Western tradition, and why classical education is more than a modern curriculum with classical decorations added on. Join us as we explore what belongs at the center of a truly classical education. *What We're Reading* from This Episode:  "Galahad and the Grail" Malcom Guite (Martin) "The Last of the Mohicans" James Fenimore Cooper (Martin) "Smiling Through the Cultural Catastrophe" Jeffery Hart (Martin) "The Sea Hawk" Rafael Sabatini (Paul) "Mary Poppins" Pamela Lyndon Travers (Paul) "The Confederacy of Dunces" John Kennedy Toole (Paul) "A Tale of Two Cities" Charles Dickens (Tanya) "Fountains of Silence" Ruta Sepetys (Jessica)

Every beta-2 agonist ever tested for muscle growth hits the same wall: desensitization. Dr. Tore Bengtsson built one that doesn't.A professor at Stockholm University and founder of Atrogi, Dr. Bengtsson has spent 25 years studying how beta-adrenergic receptors regulate metabolism, muscle, and brown fat. His lab developed 1,500+ compounds that activate beta-2 through distinct signaling pathways, and one is now heading into Phase 2 clinical trials. He shares how a "failed" experiment cracked the problem, why incretins only address half of metabolic disease problems, and what muscle loss after 50 means for drug discovery strategy.Key takeaways:Classical beta-2 agonists fail because desensitization shuts down the responseSelectively activating specific signaling pathways from one receptor can produce entirely different outcomesIncretins reduce energy intake — but the energy expenditure side remains wide openThe correlation between muscle mass and longevity is one of the most underserved areas in metabolic medicine

This one's for all you autodidacts: if you have questions about any aspect of Greco-Roman antiquity, have trouble distinguishing between Phylas and Phrynichus, and are not sure where to turn when you are tearing through an ancient text and get stumped by some unfamiliar term, we've got you covered. This week Jeff and Dave walk us through the fascinating landscape of the most famous classical encyclopedias: Pauly Wissowa, Der Kleine Pauly, Der Neue Pauly, the CHCL (and how it differs from the CAH), and of course, the master map of classical scholarship, L'Année philologique. And in the second half, we explore the history and usefulness of that great granddaddy of them all, the Oxford Classical Dictionary, starting with the 1st ed. and extending to the 4th, digital form it now inhabits. So from Abacus to Zosimus, from Nichomachus to ancient gesturing, the Nerd is strong in this one. And, don't miss FlexCalls.com.

If you’ve ever typed “am I homeschooling my child the right way” into a search bar at 11pm — this post is for you. Most homeschool moms have experienced some version of that same question — am I homeschooling my child the right way? — and most of them are asking it for exactly the right reasons. Not out loud, necessarily. More likely, as a quiet voice at the end of the day, after the books are closed and the planner is put away. Here’s the truth: there is no single “right way” to homeschool your child. But there is something that works — and it’s more accessible than you think. Am I Homeschooling My Child the Right Way? (& Why the “Right Way” to Homeschool Is a Myth Worth Busting) The homeschool world has a way of making moms feel like there’s a correct answer they haven’t found yet. The right curriculum, the right schedule, and the right philosophy. Classical or Charlotte Mason. Structured or unschooling.90 minutes a day or seven hours? And so the search begins — and the second-guessing never quite stops. Every mom who has ever asked “am I homeschooling my child the right way” deserves a better answer than another curriculum or method recommendation. Here’s what I’ve noticed after many conversations with homeschool moms who are deep in this: the ones who feel most lost are rarely the ones doing it wrong. They’re the ones paying close enough attention to notice the gap between what they planned and what their child actually needs. That gap isn’t failure. It’s information. The “Right Way” Is a Moving Target — And That’s Actually Good News The truth about homeschooling the “right way” is that right was never a fixed destination. It’s a moving target — and it moves because your child moves. She grows, shifts, changes her mind, surprises you. The mom who is asking am I getting this right? is almost always the mom who is watching closely enough to ask better questions. What “Right” Actually Means for Your Child Let me tell you about a mom I’ll call Joni. Joni had done everything by the book. Researched curricula for months. Built a beautiful schedule. Joined a co-op. Colour-coded her planner. By any external measure, she was homeschooling the “right way.” And yet her daughter — bright, curious, twelve years old — was disengaged. Resistant. Going through the motions, most of the time, so she could put her books back in her designated basket so she could run off and play. Joni kept adjusting the external pieces. Different workbooks. Different incentives beyond playtime or screentime. She offered her daughter more flexibility. Less flexibility. The result was always the same. Not the daughter she’d hoped to homeschool. Not the child the curriculum would work for. The specific, real, living girl in front of her — with her own interests, her own learning rhythms, her own quiet signals about what was and wasn’t working. The Question Underneath the Question That shift — from am I following the right method? to is this right for this child? — was where freedom lived. If you’d rather listen than read — or you want to share this conversation with a homeschool mom you know — I’ve covered all of this in this week’s podcast episode too. Press play below. https://youtu.be/ICLwWbL_9Uc?si=mfVtMHFoSfTdfYhf Am I Homeschooling My Child the Right Way? A Framework for Making Decisions You Can Trust After many conversations like the one I had with Joni, I built something I call the Right-for-This-Child Framework — six questions designed not to grade your homeschool, but to help you think with your child instead of about her. It’s not a lens into the reality of your homeschool kiddo and your homeschool plans. Here are two of the six questions, because they tend to be where the most immediate relief lives when you’re wondering if you’re homeschooling your child the right way: “Does this approach honour who she is right now?” Not who she was six months ago. Not who you’re hoping she’ll grow into. Who she is today — her interests, her energy, her actual learning preferences. This sounds obvious until you realize how often we design our homeschool around a future version of our child who doesn’t quite exist yet. The more focused, more compliant, more grateful version. Or even the child that doesn’t exist. And I’ll add that sometimes we’re trying to build a homeschool around the “child” that is within you! You might be, like me, trying to build a homeschool you would LOVE at age 28-54;) Meanwhile, the real child in front of us is sending signals we’re too busy adjusting the plan to receive. Observing your child’s energy — not just her output — is data. When she lights up, that’s data. When she goes quiet in a particular way, that’s data. Small, genuine check-ins about how she’s experiencing things give you more useful information than any progress tracker. “Am I reacting out of fear right now — or out of clarity?” This one requires self-awareness. So much of what looks like a homeschool problem is actually a mom’s nervous system problem. When a child resists or stalls, it can activate something old — a fear about falling behind, about not being enough, about her future narrowing in some irreversible way. From that place, we tend to push harder, control more, and inadvertently make the resistance worse. The practice is simple but not easy: pause before you respond. Five or ten minutes. Journal a sentence. Let the reactive emotional wave pass. What’s left after the pause is almost always much closer to your actual wisdom. The Other Four Questions (And What They Cover) The full framework goes further — into aligning decisions with your core values, weighing short-term discomfort against long-term growth, building flexibility into your plans rather than demanding perfection, and creating a simple weekly rhythm of reflection and recalibration. Together they give you a repeatable way to move through doubt. Not by eliminating it — but by using it as a starting point rather than a stopping point. The real answer to “am I homeschooling my child the right way” is never yes or no. It’s: are you paying attention, staying curious, and adjusting as you learn? If yes — you’re doing it right. The Doubt Is Not the Actually the Problem Joni didn’t need a new curriculum. She needed permission to trust what she already knew about her daughter — and a structure to help her hear herself think. If you’re in that place right now — doing the work, carrying the worry, wondering if anyone else feels this too — I want you to say this out loud: The fact that I’m asking this question means I’m the right person for this. Say that sentence again. And again. Remember that “bad homeschool moms” don’t lie awake wondering if they’re getting it right. The negligent homeschool moms aren’t googling “am I homeschool my child the right way” at midnight? (ps If I’m right and YOU are googling those words and that’s why you found me, drop me a comment below, I’d love to hear!) If you’d like support figuring out what “right for this child” actually looks like in your specific home, with your specific kid — that’s exactly the kind of conversation I’m here for. Start there. The rest tends to follow. Free Resources to Help You Homeschool With Confidence You’ve made it this far in this post because something here resonated. Maybe it was the question you’ve been carrying quietly. Or maybe it was Joni’s story. Maybe it was simply the relief of someone finally saying there is no single right way. Whatever brought you here — whether you googled “am I homeschooling my child the right way” or stumbled in through a friend’s share — I don’t want you to leave empty-handed. Depending on where you are in your homeschool journey, I’ve created something specific for you. Take the one that fits. For First-Year Homeschool Moms: The Confident Homeschool Roadmap Starting your homeschool journey is one of the bravest things a mom can do — and one of the most disorienting. You pulled your child out of traditional school (or never put them in) because you believed there was something better. And now you’re staring at a blank calendar wondering where to begin. The Confident Homeschool Roadmap is your starting point. It walks you through the foundational decisions every new homeschool mom needs to make — in the right order, without the overwhelm — so you can stop spinning and start building something that actually fits your child and your family. Inside you’ll find a clear sequence for getting started, questions that help you define what you want homeschooling to look like, and a simple structure that creates confidence without locking you into someone else’s method. When you download the Roadmap, you’ll also receive the Purposeful Homeschool Mom Weekly newsletter — a short, grounding note each week with practical encouragement, honest reflections, and tools to help you keep trusting yourself through every stage of this journey. → Grab Your Free Confident Homeschool Roadmap Download your 1st Year Confident Homeschool Roadmap For Moms Who’ve Been At It a While: The Deschool Your Homeschool Checklist You homeschool to give your child something better. So why does it still feel like you’re just recreating school at home? Your child resists anything that looks like “school.” You’re stuck somewhere between structure and freedom, second-guessing every decision, and quietly wondering if you’re doing it wrong. Here’s the truth: you’re not doing it wrong. You just haven’t deschooled yet. Or maybe you need to deschool deeper or for a new season of your family life. Deschooling is the most commonly skipped step in homeschooling — and the one that makes a ginormous difference. It’s the process of letting go of traditional school thinking so you can build something that actually fits your child, your values, and your real life.

Mälkki, Liebermann & Mahler 4 by CSO Association

In the Greco-Roman world, gods were known to tame soundscapes, or acoustic landscapes. Zeus, Apollo, Orpheus, and other Classical deities demonstrated their power by bringing order to chaotic sound worlds, replacing cacophony with harmony. In late antiquity, Christians took up this archetype and applied it to Jesus. For many early Christians, the advent of Christ resembled the modern phenomenon of a musical key change, but on a grand scale: Jesus initiated a recalibration of the cosmic soundscape, ushering in a new world. However, according to many Christians in late antiquity, this universal key change was not yet complete. Late ancient Christians believed that they could participate in the ongoing sonic work of Christ by Christianizing the acoustic landscapes of the world.In Sounds for a New World: The Christianizing Soundscapes of Late Antiquity (Oxford UP, 2026), Dr. Philip Abbott explores how late ancient Christians envisioned themselves as participants in the worldwide retuning effort, harmonizing the Classical world to the new Christian reality. Rejecting the sounds of traditional Greco-Roman and Persian cultures, Christians advocated a variety of sonic practices to realize their grand retuning endeavor, including shouting, singing, silent meditation, chanting, and even belching. From the Latin West to the Syriac East, late ancient Christians formed a polyphonous chorus of diverse voices all joining in the great harmonizing work of Jesus as they Christianized the soundscapes of the world.For years, scholars have noted the monumental changes that took place in early Christianity during the so-called Constantinian Revolution. But Dr. Abbott turns our attention to an unexplored aspect of this transitional moment, arguing that it was not simply a political or religious revolution - it was a revolution of the senses. Central to this sensorial transformation was sound. As Christianity gained imperial power in the fourth century, Christians began the process of re-tuning the world for Christ. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Dr Armand D'Angour turns our attention to the lyrical poetry of Horace, as it is placed within the Greek musical and poetic inheritance. With close readings of key odes, he shows us how Horace uses Greek lyric meters to achieve something both rhythmic and aural. Constructed around the themes of love, time, and political life, these poems can be seen as carefully constructed personnae, rather than autobiographical confession. This lyric poetry is shown to be a disciplined artform that carries inherited Greek forms into something distinctly Roman, without disturbing the musical intelligence beneath them. These poems were not written to be read silently, but were deeply connected to music, rhythm, and memory. By recovering this dimension, Professor D'Angour illuminates Horace not just as a literary figure, but as a poet working within a living tradition of song in which meaning is brought about through the interplay of sound, structure, and voice.    Authors and Works Mentioned in this Episode: Horace's Odes Homer's Iliad and Odyssey Sappho Alcaeus Anacreon Pindar Catullus Virgil Aristotle Plato Epicurus Augustus Maecenas

The Declaration of Independence created a new nation, and has guided the United States ever since.  Historian Steven Sarson argues in his new book, The Course of Human Events:  The Declaration of Independence and the Historical Origins of the United States that the Declaration looks backward, to British history and Biblical and Classical history, as much as forward.  Sarson looks at the structure of the Declaration's arguments, about “the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God,” and the story of the colonists' “Immigration and Settlement” in the New World to show how the Declaration's authors rooted its argument in their understanding of the world drawn from their knowledge of history.  The indictment of the British government's attempts to constrain them is also rooted in historical understanding of governance, and from this Americans would frame new governments, organizing them to preserve their lives, liberties, and pursuits of happiness.  Steve Sarson, a Professor of American Civilization at Jean Mouline University in Lyon, France, looks at the Declaration with fresh eyes, as he has been teaching it to French students curious about its meaning both to our world, and the world of its writers.  The ideas of the 18th-century, drawn from history, continue to inform our world, and Sarson shows how rooted they were in history as its authors understood it.  Tell us what you think!

Few creatures are as shrouded in mystery as the Sasquatch, more commonly known as Bigfoot. For decades, and perhaps even centuries, people in North America have claimed encounters with him. There are so many cases and they are so well documented that they cannot be cast aside simply as hearsay or rumor. Yet after all this time, we are no closer to understanding who this creature might be…or are we.In this book, researcher and biblical scholar Adam Stokes asks us to look for answers to the identity of Bigfoot not in present, contemporary encounters but in the past. In turning to ancient texts such as the Bible and other works, we find persons and figures whose description eerily mirrors those of the Sasquatch. These are our best sources in determining the origin and nature of North America's most infamous cryptid.Adam Oliver Stokes (born 1981) has degrees in religion from Duke University and Yale Divinity School.
