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.

Chris Stigall reports live from Washington, D.C., on President Trump's launch of Trump Accounts—a transformative program providing $1,000 seed investment accounts for newborns starting in 2026, with families and employers able to contribute up to $5,000 annually in tax-advantaged savings. Harnessing compound interest and stock market growth, these accounts could build six-figure sums by age 18 and potentially millions by retirement, fostering financial literacy, ownership in capitalism, and generational wealth.Chris interviews Treasury Chief Counsel Joe Lavorgna on the program's mechanics, employer contributions, access at 18 for major life steps like homeownership or education, and its role in democratizing capitalism while countering anti-free-market narratives. Senator Ted Cruz highlights the accounts' inclusion in the Working Families Tax Cut, their synergy with school choice provisions, and the potential to create a new generation of young capitalists invested in economic success.Kevin O'Leary ("Mr. Wonderful" from Shark Tank) praises the bipartisan appeal, early financial education benefits, and efficiency in addressing retirement shortfalls compared to traditional systems. Senator Marsha Blackburn explains practical steps for families via IRS Form 4547, the free-market messaging, and ties to broader fiscal priorities amid debates over government funding and DHS.A Faith and Freedom 250 segment underscores Christian education's vital role in uniting faith, reason, and moral truth to equip young people for purposeful lives amid cultural confusion.00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:02 - Trump Accounts Explained00:02:19 - Free Market Benefits00:03:58 - How to Sign Up00:05:22 - Tariffs and Economic Policy00:07:52 - Economic Outlook for 202600:09:49 - Senator Ted Cruz Interview00:11:36 - School Choice and Shutdown Risks00:14:05 - Kevin O'Leary Interview00:16:56 - Financial Literacy Impact00:20:53 - Senator Marsha Blackburn Interview00:23:16 - Government Funding Debate00:25:49 - Faith and Freedom 250Follow The Lion on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.

What is a good teacher?Most of us can name a teacher who made a lasting impact, not just through information, but through formation, awakening curiosity, shaping understanding, and building confidence. In this BaseCamp Live episode, host Davies Owens sits down with classical educator and mentor Carrie Eben, co-author of The Good Teacher: 10 Pedagogical Principles That Will Transform Your Teaching, to explore the often-overlooked piece of classical Christian education, how we teach, not only what we teach.Carrie has spent more than 25 years serving in classical education across schools and homeschooling. She is a founding board member at Sager Classical Academy in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and a head mentor for the Searcy Institute Master Teacher Apprenticeship in the Ozark Mountain region. Together, Davies and Carrie discuss why classical schools must often “make” teachers through mentorship and apprenticeship, and why pedagogy matters because the teacher is not merely delivering content, the teacher is shaping the classroom culture and the student's loves.The conversation centers on two foundational principles that set the rhythm for great teaching:Festina Lente, “make haste slowly,” a reminder that learning cannot be rushed. Wonder, contemplation, repetition, and embodied learning take time, and growth happens step by step.Carrie also turns to the importance of assessment, explaining that it should align with the purpose of education and the nature of the student, not simply a score. She highlights relational approaches like narrative assessment, and practical options like narration, oral work, debates, and live demonstrations of understanding, especially in a world navigating new pressures like AI.

AI is moving faster than any technology humanity has ever created. For Christian schools and families committed to timeless, unchanging truth, that speed raises urgent questions. How should schools rethink testing, writing, and academic integrity? Where is the line between being informed and becoming dependent?In this episode of BaseCamp Live, host Davies Owens welcomes back Emily Harrison, a writer, speaker, and consultant who helps schools and churches think wisely about digital media. Emily works closely with Christian and classical Christian communities and equips families to engage technology through a biblical worldview.Together, they explore why AI can be helpful for experts but often harmful for amateurs, especially students who are still forming knowledge, discernment, and intellectual habits. They address student pressure to outsource thinking, the limits of filters and detection tools, and why true formation cannot be automated.Emily raises a growing concern schools can no longer ignore: student digital privacy. With the rise of AI-generated deepfakes and image misuse, she urges schools to rethink how student photos are shared online and to clearly communicate risk, consent, and protection with families.

Chris Stigall and The Lion's managing editor Josh Mann unpack the biggest cultural shifts happening right now: Gen Z is flocking to Jesus in numbers not seen since the 1970s—while at the same time pockets of the same generation flirt with socialism. Support for same-sex marriage and transgender identities is quietly dropping among young adults. Public school enrollment is collapsing even as spending hits record highs. And in a lonely, screen-addicted culture, people are rediscovering the lost art of real-life hospitality. From college revivals to empty classrooms to the slow death of “trans kids” ideology, this is the cultural pivot conservatives and Christians have been praying for—and the data is finally catching up.00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:19 - Rising Hostility Toward Churches (Even as They Grow)00:02:47 - Gen Z: Revival on Campus + Flirtation with Socialism00:04:23 - Zoomers Cooling on Same-Sex Marriage00:07:50 - Marriage: Biblical vs. Government Contract00:08:28 - Public School Enrollment in Freefall00:10:19 - Spending Up, Results Down, Administrators Explode00:13:10 - Left-Leaning Media Finally Admits Public Ed Disaster00:15:20 - The Trans Tide Turning (Europe & U.S.)00:18:06 - Sharp Drop in Trans/Queer ID Among College Students00:19:43 - Social Contagion Fading + the Search for Meaning00:22:11 - Screens, Isolation, and the Lost Art of Hospitality00:25:11 - Thanksgiving Blessing00:25:32 - Faith & Freedom 250: Theodore RooseveltFollow The Lion on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.

We live in a culture of soundbites, but Christian parents and educators are called to form young people who listen well, think deeply, and speak with humility and grace. Host Davies Owens sits down with Dr. Justin Smith, Head of School at Little Rock Christian Academy and Herzog Foundation coach, to unpack the Harkness Method (a modern form of Socratic dialogue) and why it may be one of the most vital forms of discipleship in our time.In this conversation:Harkness vs. Socratic: what's the same, what's different, and how each keeps the text at the center rather than opinion.Truth matters: how Christ-centered schools avoid “bad talk radio” and anchor discussion in authorial intent, Scripture, and absolute truth.Formation over performance: why silence, restraint, and student discovery create stickier learning than efficient lectures.K–12 on-ramps: how Justin's team trains 7th–12th graders in names, manners, eye contact, question stems, and textual evidence.Home practices: simple dinner-table question bowls, “roses & thorns,” and “heaven & earth” prompts that cultivate a household of inquiry.
