Podcast appearances and mentions of David Hicks

Giving comes from the heart. In the Bible, the saying "It is more blessed to give than to receive" is found in Acts 20:35. This quote is attributed to Jesus by Paul in his address to the elders of the church in Ephesus. The verse emphasizes the value and blessing associated with generosity and giving to others.  The full verse in the ESV reads: "In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" This entails our not acting cheaply or allowing ourselves to be taken advantage of by those with vastly more than us. In either case, our example will draw God's blessings and provision. But we as well will be used by God as an example of how Himself is towards us and all who would come to Him. To all my very good friends and TRUE brothers in Portugal, I have attempted as best I can to give...but my son and I have been vastly out-blessed by all of you. Being who I am-I am working to be a greater blessing to each and every one of you-and to those who would hear the Good News of Jesus Christ...With much gratituded, please listen to this episode that I recorded many and saved for a day that I had no studio...which is today; as I am in Portugal...Lastly, this episode is dedicate to my friend DAVID HICKS who is the forerunner of giving as he takes care of his medically challenged wife daily...Thank you David for being an example for the rest of us as to what it means to GIVE of YOURSELF...when it's difficult...with much love...StevenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reason-for-truth--2774396/support.

If God loves me, why is life so hard? Why do I have so many problems? In this video we look at six positive reasons as to why God, out of His love for us, might be giving us or allowing us to have hardships in our lives. We will especially look at man born blind and how his trial, despite popular belief, had nothing to do with sin, but everything to do with God's work being revealed through his story and with helping him come to faith in Jesus.Scriptures covered: John 9, James 1:1-4, Romans 5:1-5, 2 Corinthians 1:3-5, Acts 5:40-42.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

Are we loved? It is a question we often ask in times of depression, sadness and hardship. We want to know if someone cares about us or worse, is there any reason someone should care about us. In this video, we begin to answer that question (spoiler alert - the answer is an unequivocal "yes!") by mentioning the three big reasons people do not believe they are loved - their circumstances, evil done to them and evil they did, then by focusing on this question: "Does my difficult life mean I am not loved?"  Verses covered:Luke 16:19-31 (the rich man and Lazarus)1 Timothy 2:1-4 (God wants all to be saved)John 3:14-21 (Jesus is a gift for all)To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

Listen as Renee and Karen discuss Ch 10 in Norms and Nobility. In this chapter, David Hicks offers a list of questions worth considering for teachers and administrators, and since homeschool moms are both, we think you will find this list helpful. He also lists the assumptions that "undergird the practice of classical education." Each of these questions and assumptions is like a nugget of wisdom that will inspire and encourage you.

Two of the more puzzling questions regarding how we got the Bible, especially the writings of the New Testament, are "who wrote them" and "how did we get the books that we have?"  The answers aren't as straightforward as one would think.  Still, thanks to the evidence within the Scriptures themselves and to the writings of some of the earliest Christians, we can with confidence know most of the true authors of the books of the Bible. More importantly, we can approach with these writings with trust, that they will lead us to eternal life if followed.  Scriptures covered: Luke 24:44-45.  1 Timothy 5:18.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

Pastor David Hicks shares a powerful message on the ministry of Jesus and how the idea of God's Big Table shapes how we think and challenges us to live full of grace to those around us. We hope you will be encouraged.

We continue our look at the writings of the Bible by examining how others viewed and treated them, especially Jesus Himself when He was tempted by Satan. We will consistently see that the Word of God was seen as authoritative, as truth, and even as basis for proof including the proof that Jesus is the Anointed One, i.e., the Son of God.We will also start looking at which writings should be considered Scripture by first understanding what was Scripture in Jesus' day, then by thinking through Jesus' promise that the Holy Spirit would guide His disciples into all truth. We will also see how Peter referred to Paul's writings as Scripture, and how Paul himself treated them as such. One tangent of discussion: The differences between the baptism of John and the baptism of Jesus, and how the forgiveness of sins is not one of those.Scriptures covered: Matthew 4:1-14.  Acts 18:24-28.  John 16:13-15.  2 Peter 3:14-16.  1 Thessalonians 5:27.  Colossians 4:16.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

What are the writings of the Bible? Why are they considered holy? From where did they come?  Today we take a look at how the Scriptures are described as "the word of God", "the word of the Lord". They are writings penned by men who were being guided by the Holy Spirit as they wrote them.  Along the way, we will see how they were treated with absolute respect and authority, how they were regarded as truth even by Jesus Himself. Scriptures covered: 2 Timothy 3:16-17.  2 Peter 1:19-20.  Matthew 22:41-46.  John 10:31-38.  Daniel 9:1-2.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

One of the biggest values in the kingdom of God is humility, the quality of refusing to think oneself as being greater than others. In contrast is pride, where we believe ourselves to be greater than a person or group.  Today we will see how Jesus repeatedly taught that if we exalt ourselves, we will be humbled, but if we humble ourselves, we will be exalted. We will also look at how Jesus taught that to be the greatest in God's kingdom, we need to have the humility of children and strive to be a servant to all as He was a servant to all, dying for us that we might be saved from the punishment of our wrongdoings.  Scriptures covered: Matthew 23:1-12.  Luke 14:7-11.  Luke 18:9-14.  Matthew 18:1-6.  Mark 9:33-37.  Mark 10:35-45.  For further reading: Micah 6:8.  1 Peter 5:5-6. To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

We've been talking about how, in God's kingdom, we have a different world view, a way of seeing various aspects of life often not in line with the rest of the world. It is a view framed by the teachings and ways of God and His Son. That being the case, how then should we view women? Look no further than Jesus who demonstrated time and time again that women were precious to Him. Today we will see Jesus longing to give the Holy Spirit and eternal life to a 5-time-divorced, living-with-a-man woman of a different race. We will see Jesus raise a widow's only son back to life as His heart goes out to her. He will have compassion on and refuse to condemn an adulterous woman under the sentence of death. Jesus will forgive the sins of and comfort a broken-hearted woman of sinful reputation. If Jesus valued women this much, and He did, so should we value, care for, appreciate and genuinely love the women of this world.  Scriptures covered: John 4:1-42.  John 8:1-11.  Luke 7:11-17.  Luke 7:36-50.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

When it comes to understanding how we should view various aspects of life from the perspective of Christ, there may not be a more important topic in this day and age than gender. Gender is no longer being seen as simply male and female. More people than ever it seems struggle with their gender identity and at least consider changing from one to the other. So what does God's Word have to say about gender? We start by looking at the basic questions of how many genders did God make and how does the Bible define gender.  Scriptures covered: Genesis 1:26-31.  Genesis 2:18-25.  Genesis 25:19-27.  1 Samuel 16:14-23, 17:41-51.  Proverbs 31:10-31.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

As followers of Christ and members of God's kingdom, what kind of people should we be? What should we not be? What should we do and not do? What should be important to us what should be unimportant? We look at three passages that answer these exact questions, that detail both the values (the things we should cherish) and anti-values (the things we should reject), as children of God.  Scriptures covered: Acts 10:34-35.  Revelation 14:6-7.  Colossians 3.  Romans 12:9-21.  Galatians 5:16-26 To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

We continue our look at how, as members of God's kingdom, we see and think about the world differently. When it comes to the subject of race, there is no racism in the kingdom of God. Instead we love people of all races, knowing that good news of salvation by faith in Jesus is for all. That may seem like common sense, but even for the apostle Peter, it was a message that God had to go out of His way to teach before Peter could share Jesus with the first Gentile convert, Cornelius. Related Scriptures: John 4, Acts 10 - 11, Revelation 14:6-7.  To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

The teachings of Jesus help us see that the kingdom of God has its own culture and worldview. As citizens of the kingdom, we have a way of viewing and thinking about life that is vastly different than most of the cultures of the world.  In this episode, we will look at some of those differences when it comes to the values of greatness, family, possessions and love. Scriptures covered: Mark 10:35-45, Matthew 12:46-50, Mark 10:17-31, Luke 6:27-36, Matthew 5:38-48.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

Alex was born with cerebral palsy, a disease that has left her with the inability to walk without aid. Despite this struggle, she has grown into a young woman of great faith. Wanting to help others who face this and other difficult situations, Alex freely shares about her struggle with being bullied, how she copes with her disease, how she came to faith in Jesus, her ministry to children and her love of horses.  In listening to Alex, you will hear many helpful points of wisdom whether you are the one who is struggling or the parent of someone who is.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

Much of Jesus' teaching centered around the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven. So what does it mean then, to be a part this kingdom? Several things: 1) We have king, namely Jesus. 2) We have a Father, namely God. 3) We have a common culture, a common world view.  As just one example, we look at how the way we think about our possessions in the kingdom of Christ is radically different than the way the people of the world look at them. Scriptures covered: Luke 23:1-4.  John 18:28-38.  Galatians 2:20.  Ephesians 5:1-3.  Hebrews 5:8-9.  Matthew 13:41-43.  Luke 12:33-34.  Acts 2:44-45.  Acts 4:32-35.  Ephesians 4:28.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

For many of us who live in the America, including those of us who call ourselves Christians, the answer to this question is an enthusiastic "Yes!" That, however, is a problem, a HUGE problem. Because the answer to the question, "Which is the greatest nation?", as we will see in today's video, is the Kingdom of God, and it isn't even close. So today we will look at the kingdom of heaven as compared to the United States. We will also answer the question of why U.S. citizens believe America is the greatest. Finally, we will look at some key warning signs that America has become an idol in our heart.  Verses covered:  Matthew 13:24-30,36-43 (The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares).  Matthew 25:31-46 (Judgment Day).  Philippians 3:20-21, 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 (About the new body citizens of the kingdom will receive).Ephesians 4:28 (an example of the Kingdom dream as opposed to the American dream).To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

"Why should I keep living?" At a very young age, Izaac couldn't find a good enough answer to that very daunting question. Overwhelmed by the demands of school and the expectations he placed upon himself, Izaac decided to end it all by jumping from the third-story stairwell of his school. Though he came narrowly close to death, by God's grace he survived. Since that time, he has been learning of and embracing the love God and Christ have for him. He eagerly shares his story now in the hopes that you might do the same.Note: This content has been marked explicit because of the subject matter.YouTube: https://youtu.be/QD-uT9eXzagTo see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

Do you struggle to pay attention? Pastor David Hicks encourages us to turn aside from distractions and notice the presence of God in our everyday lives.

We end our series on God and same-sex-attraction by wrestling with some of the tougher questions surrounding it, especially, "Why would God make someone gay if He doesn't want that person to act on that desire?" But first, we take a look at how Jesus had compassion on a woman caught in adultery - a sin that, like homosexuality, was punishable by death in the Law of Moses.   Scriptures covered: John 8:1-11.  Leviticus 20:9-16.  2 Corinthians 1:3-5.  Titus 2:11-14.  Luke 9:23-26.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

We continue finding answers to the question of whether or not engaging in sexual acts with those of the same gender is acceptable in God's sight. More importantly, we look at the story of a woman of sinful reputation who, despite the scorn of the people around here, went to Jesus in her brokenness. What we will see is the profound love and mercy of the Son of God for any who come to Him in faith.  Scriptures covered: 1 Corinthians 6:9-20, Romans 1:18-32, Luke 7:36-50.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

About The GuestDavid V. Hicks retired in 2015 as Chief Academic Officer for Meritas LLC, a company based in Chicago that owned and operated K-12 college preparatory schools worldwide.  The day after his retirement, Meritas was sold to Nord Anglia Education.   Before joining Meritas, Hicks spent thirty years in independent education, heading St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Jackson, Mississippi; St. Mark's School of Texas in Dallas; St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire; and the Darlington School in Rome, Georgia.  After graduating from The Stony Brook School (New York) in 1966, Hicks studied at Princeton where he majored in English and graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1970. He then read for a master's degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) at Jesus College, Oxford as a Rhodes scholar. He later studied at the University of Moscow. Hicks served as an officer in the U.S. Navy and is the youngest man ever to teach on the faculty of the Naval War College. In 1976, he ran for Congress in New York's Westchester County in a race he narrowly lost to long-time incumbent Richard Ottinger. In 1981 his book, NORMS & NOBILITY: A TREATISE ON EDUCATION, won the Outstanding Book Award for Education from the American Library Association. In 1996, Hicks created a stir in boarding school communities around the United States when he published his essay, “The Strange Fate of the American Boarding School,” in The American Scholar. His and his brother Scot's translation of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations was published by Scribner as THE EMPEROR'S HANDBOOK in 2002.   Since then Scot and Davd have produced a series of annotated translations of Plutarch's Lives for CiRCE: The Lawgivers; The Statesmen; and The Tyrant. Forthcoming books by Hicks: The Stones Cry Out: Reflections on the Myths We Live By (CAP) and with Father Anthony Gilbert, Orthodox Christianity and Classical Education (SVP). Hicks has served on numerous boards throughout the world, most recently including the TASIS Foundation (Switzerland), the Campion School (Greece), St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary (New York), TASIS Dorado School (Puerto Rico), San Roberto International School  (Mexico), and St. Peter's Monastery Foundation (Montana).  Hicks and his wife Mary Elizabeth have four grown children and live on a ranch (West of the Moon) off the grid near Harrison, Montana.  They are members of St. Anthony the Great Orthodox Church In Bozeman.Show NotesDavid shares about his education as a child into his early career and how it lead him towards writing Norms and Nobility. Adrienne and David dive into what it means to create a spirit of inquiry rooted in dialects. David delves into the thesis of Norms and Nobility and expands on the quote on page 18 of his book. David discusses what early Christian education looked like.  David details about all his newer writing projectsDavid V.

We continue to look at one of the most emotionally charged subjects of our time by looking more at the concept of having the desire to do something as opposed to actually doing it. We then talk about the context in which God wants the sexual relationship to take place - marriage, versus the contexts of adultery and other forms of sexual immorality (aka fornication). In looking at marriage, we see how Jesus confirms that marriage is between a man and a woman.  Finally, we begin our look at how, yes, homosexuality is a sin that can keep us out of God's kingdom, but it is also a sin for which we can be forgiven and washed clean. Scriptures covered: Proverbs 6:16-19.  Hebrews 4:14-16.  Hebrews 13:4.  Genesis 2:18-25.  Mark 10:1-12.  1 Corinthians 6:9-11.Lastly, in the first video in this series, I apologized for cruelness and meanness on the part of Christians. I realized, though, that another apology was needed, one on behalf of myself for not standing against such actions. It is in asking forgiveness of my and our complacency that we begin this video.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

We begin a deep-dive into one of the most emotionally charged subjects in modern society, homosexuality.  Unfortunately, many in that world or simply perceived to be in that world of homosexuality have been treated cruelly, meanly by those claiming to follow Christ.  For that, I apologize, literally.  My hope is that you will be able to set aside past, hypocritical mistreatment so that you can set your heart on seeking God once again. In so doing, one of the first things I want you to see is that there is a HUGE difference in wanting to do something and actually doing it, in being tempted and giving in to temptation. Error correction: I misspoke when I said Solomon mentioned adultery in the list of six things that God hates (see Proverbs 6:16-19). It is immediately after he gives that list that he talks about the dangers of adultery. He then continues that warning in Proverbs 7.  My apologies!Scriptures covered: John 8:1-11 (the woman caught in adultery), James 1:13-15, Matthew 4 / Luke 4, Luke 9:23-26, Hebrews 13:4.  To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

Recently I did a comedy routine at the Elk's Lodge in Grapevine, Texas.  So in the spirit of recognizing laughter as a gift from God, I thought I would share this rather jovial bit before I forget how it goes. It answers those important questions that you couldn't care less if I answered -  why I will never become a stand-up comedian, what I should have been warned about when it comes to aging, why I have the bathroom blues and why you can rest assured that your dentist knows what they are doing, or not. To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

Listen as Renee and Karen chat about chapter 1 of Norms and Nobility by David Hicks. The title of the chapter is Virtue is the Fruit of Learning, and they discuss how classical education is the cultivation of wisdom and virtue and therefore virtue can be taught; how virtue is taught over time and in the community of a family; and how a mom can avoid the temptation of being a perfectionist while desiring the good life —the life of virtue for herself and her children.

What do we need to do to improve when it comes to telling others about Jesus?  How can we be more effective? What mistakes are we making? We start our look at the answers to these important questions by examining the need for prayer, the need for both word and action, both saying it and living it, and finally the need for more than just the one strategy of inviting people to church. Scriptures covered: 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Acts 12:12, 1 Peter 3:1-7, Acts 5:42.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

Born in New Zealand, Veere Grenney made his way to England as a young man and stayed there—but being an immigrant and a little bit of an outsider has always informed his playful, eclectic approach. After working for Mary Fox Linton and at Colefax & Fowler, Grenney started his own firm—his work has since appeared in countless shelter publications and won a range of accolades, including a regular spot on the AD100.    On this episode of the podcast, Grenney speaks with host Dennis Scully about why a little bit of bad taste can be a good thing, the tricks he borrows from David Hicks, and why the most important skill a designer can have is being good with people.This episode is sponsored by Spring Street by Pollack and CryptonLINKSVeere GrenneyDennis ScullyBusiness of Home

We take a look at three options or ways that we can share the good news of Jesus with others. 1) Invite people to opportunities to get to know Jesus. The Samaritan woman did this then her whole town went out to meet Jesus.  2) Tell people about Jesus yourself. We don't always have to leave it to others to explain the gospel. We can tell the good news about Jesus as well!  3) Support those who are telling others about Jesus.  From missionaries to evangelists to Bible translators and more, when we find those who are sharing the good news, let us do what we can to support them in their ministry. Scriptures covered: John 4:1-45, John 1:35-51, Acts 10:17-24, Acts 8:1-4, Acts 17:14-34, Philippians 4:14-20, Luke 8:1-3.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

The first thing to realize about the "how" of telling others about Christ is that it is not up to you to come up with the perfect phrase or story to convince someone Jesus is real.  The Holy Spirit can guide you to what needs to be said and when. The second thing is that we need to pray for the lost - that God will send out laborers into his harvest, that we will speak God's word boldly, that there will be open doors for the word and that God's word will spread rapidly.  Finally, we look at the power of simply telling others about what God has done us, how we can take the hope, joy, peace and love we found in Jesus and let others know about they can find it too.Scriptures covered: Mark 13:9-11.  Luke 10:1-2.  Acts 4:23-31.  Colossians 4:2-4.  2 Thessalonians 3:1.  Mark 15:1-20.  2 Corinthians 1:3-5.  Philemon 1:6. To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.
