Every Child Deserves a 'Steak' Education, Not a 'Hot Dog' One with Russ Gregg

Classical Christian education isn’t just for a privileged few—it’s a banquet meant for everyone. In this inspiring episode, Davies Owens is joined by Russ Gregg, founder of Hope Academy in Minneapolis and the Spreading Hope Network. Russ shares how his journey began 25 years ago with a simple but powerful question: How do we love our neighbors as ourselves, especially when it comes to education?From navigating the real challenges of urban communities to pioneering a sponsorship-based financial model, Russ explains why "the education that’s best for the best is best for all." Together, they explore the crucial need for high expectations, high accountability, and high support in raising up the next generation.Plus, Russ discusses the exciting movement of school choice sweeping the nation, the importance of family habits like mealtime reading, and why true joy comes from making room at the banquet table for those who have historically been left out. If you’ve ever wondered how you can be part of the classical education renewal—whether as a parent, a founder, or a supporter—this episode is your invitation.🎧 Listen now and discover the joy of spreading hope!Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:ZipCastWilson Hill AcademyClassic Learning TestClassical Academic PressLife Architects CoachingLight Phone Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!
