The Little Things of Life
Today I read and elaborate on an article by the late Dr. Gary North titled, "The Little Things in Life." He wrote this in 1979 but it is as relevant today as when he wrote it. In it he talks about the often overlooked foundation for the cultural growth of the Medieval era (500 A.D. to 1500 A.D.): God's law. Although not perfect at all, it was a time of flourishing after the fall of the Roman Empire. Even though there was much illiteracy and doctrinal dispute, Dr. North points out that there was much cohesion when it came to the basic ethical standards of Scripture, and how families teaching those to their children gave rise to what we know as Christendom. I conclude with a few thoughts of how Christians can lay the foundation for Christian culture again today.

Forming Boys into Men with Thomas Fickley and Fr. Mark Perkins
On this episode I spoke with Mr. Thomas Fickley and Fr. Mark Perkins, the founders of St. Dunstan's Academy in Virginia. St. Dunstan's is an Anglican boarding school for your men that started three years ago. They emphasize helping young men grow spiritually, intellectually, and physically through daily prayer, classical education, and the physical labor of working with their hands. We talked about the foundation of St. Dunstan's, why co-ed schools make learning difficult, the symbiotic relationship of the liberal arts with the common arts, and why learning is more than acquiring facts.

Moving Mountains with Ross Byrd
My guest today is Ross Byrd, a writer, musician, surfing instructor. Recently he wrote a series of articles called "On Moving Mountains: Why Miracles are Not What We Think." It captured my imagination and I have been meditating on it for several weeks. It was a delight to talk with Ross about why moving mountains is more than a nice metaphor, why "cause-and-effect" is not as straightforward as we think, and the real reason why God was angry with Moses when he struck the rock rather than spoke to it.

Leadership in a Change of Age with Dr. John Seel
I've been looking forward to this interview for a long time. Dr. John Seel is a writer, entrepreneur, teacher, administrator, and cultural analyst. He is the son of a medical missionary whose life was changed at the age of eighteen by an short meeting with Dr. Francis Schaeffer. Later he worked with Os Guiness, James Davison Hunter, and quite a few others in the areas of cultural research. He has written books on leadership, discipleship, and manhood, and has his finger on the pulse of American religion culture. Today we discuss what it means that we are in a changing age and why leaders can't rely on 20th century models of leadership as their guide. We even got around to discussing AI and why Christians must not forgo our responsibilities to be good stewards of technology.

Glenn Sunshine - Learning to See the Grandeur of God
Hello! Today I welcome Glenn Sunshine from the Theology Pugcast to talk about re-enchanting our worldview. The word "re-enchantment" is prominent right now and there are many poor interpretations of what it means, but as Glenn points out, it has nothing to do with paganism or the occult. We discuss why our modern view of the world is insufficient and why simple practices like prayer, meditation on God's word and world, and paying close attention to the seasons of the year can help us regain a sense of the greatness and grandeur of God.

The Home as a Place of Formation with Ryan Pugliese
Ryan Pugliese is a husband, father, and history teacher in New Jersey. Recently he wrote an article called "The Modern Home is Anti-Catechism" on his Substack site, Pugliese's Paideia. We had a great discussion on what makes a home, what influenced Ryan toward teaching history, and why busyness is a false religion.

The Torah - Deuteronomy
In our last lesson on the Torah, we look at the book of Deuteronomy, the final sermons of Moses to prepare Israel for entering the land. Moses reminds them of their past, their special calling from God, and the blessings and curses that come as a part of their covenant with Him. We even answer the question, "Which part of God's law still applies?"
