How the Ancients Shaped Virtuous People

from BaseCamp Live · host Louie Marcos, Davies Owens

Classical Christian schools believe the Greeks understood something critical about human nature and how to raise up a fully formed human being.  They missed out on the Christian answers but got the questions right. Their view of the ultimate end, or telos of an education, still rings true today.  Ask a modern parent on the street corner what they want out of their child’s education and you are likely to hear something along the lines of to just “be happy, moral and get a good job” But the Greeks wanted more for their children, and so should we!  Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

Sermons | Countryside Bible Church Countryside Bible Church At Countryside Bible Church, we equip believers to joyfully live holy lives, to serve one another, and to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, all to the glory of God. We are committed to a high view of God, and a high view of Scripture. 2 Old Ladies Walking Rozee 2 Old Ladies Walking features the journeys, insights, and light conversation between Liz and Rosie, two women of a certain age who live in the Hudson Valley of New York. From pelvic floor challenges and life with young adult children to food, bird calls, fear of “mad lamb” disease, and myriad topics in between, we cover it all while walking on the scenic trails of the northeast, or wherever our travels take us. Join us and have a listen! Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
