Christy Shipe on The Importance of Teaching Students to Debate Well

On this episode of Anchored, Jeremy and Arooba are joined by Christy Shipe,  Chairman of the National Christian Forensics and Communications Association (NCFCA) Board. Christy shares her own homeschool story - which began in 1982. Her father was the founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association. When Christy was in her junior year of college, she was hired by HSLDA to start a debate league for homeschool students. She explains that students who are educated classically have a natural understanding of logic, analysis, and communication which lays the groundwork for knowing how to debate well. She states the mission of the NCFCA is to challenge and equip Christian students to communicate truth with integrity and grace.
