The NEW Approach to Education w/ Steven Rummelsburg

My good friend Steven Rummelsburg is back again! We talk about his ideas on a NEW approach to education, starting with the most important thing an educator (teacher or parent) can do: love unconditionally for the sake of truth.

We also discuss:
– How meeting his biological parents became a wake-up call for his own faith
– How we are made in the image of God, especially in our intellect
– How modern stories are ones of chaos that call evil good
– And more!

Grab a drink, a cigar, or whatever suits you, and join us!

Matt and his Wifey-Wife

My lovely wife came into the studio to tell us about her pilgrimage to France! Plus, the latest from our life together in Steubenville.

We discuss:

– Getting really inspired by Saints Louis and Zelie.
– My new dumb-phone life.
– Should I give up my car?
– Dressing with dignity (and why strapless dresses look SUPER awkward in Church pews).

Grab a drink (coffee, tea, whatever suits your fancy) and pull up a chair with us!
