Thinking God's Thoughts

This week I sit down with Stuart Elliott, writer of the Beautiful Masculinity Substack, to talk about what a whole, biblically-formed man actually looks like, and why so many of the current answers to the masculinity conversation fall short.Stuart also writes about education, literature, and cultivating a beautiful life alongside his wife over at Cultivating the Beautiful Life on Substack. He and his wife also host trips to Italy. Worth checking out.Note: Apologies for my audio quality this episode, working on it!Also ,you may notice there's no closing recap and outro at the end of this one. Experimenting with the format.

In this episode, I sit down with Nate Walker, a pastor, author, and founder of Trinity Classical School in Bellingham, Washington, to talk about gospel education, covenant succession, and why the church must reclaim its historic mission of discipleship through education.Nate's new book Gospel Education just released, and this conversation unpacks the theological vision behind it: why education is always discipleship, why outsourcing formation to a hostile worldview is costing us a generation, and what it practically looks like to raise children who love the Lord and pass that faith to their children's children.Resources mentioned:Gospel Education by Nate Walker (Baker Books / Christchurch Press)The Covenant Child by Nate Walker (forthcoming)Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning by Doug WilsonDominion by Tom HollandThe Four Loves by C.S.
