247: Classical Education Part 4: Dominion Over Learning

In Part 4 of this concluding Out of the Question Podcast episode on Education and Dominion, Cathey Brown outlines an educational plan that can not only be useful for home educators for a grammar school through high school and beyond approach, but also for anyone who came to faith later in life and wishes to solidify a biblical world and life view.

In this third installment of four parts, the discussion of classical education turned to the subject of curriculum: its components (both stated and unstated), and how to examine curriculum options in light of a biblical world and life view.

In Part 2 of our discussion with Cathey Brown, we delve into classical schools and how to determine if the mission of a particular school is God-honoring.

In this episode of the Out of the Question Podcast we address: “What makes an education classical?” and “Is it a good fit for believers in their pursuit to further the Kingdom of God and take dominion in Jesus’ name?” Cathey Brown helps us answer these questions in this first of a four-part series.

Part 1/4 serves as a general introduction while demonstrating the relevancy for all, regardless of where one is in the educational journey.

Summary

• The general public and Christians view classical education as a traditional and academically rigorous approach, but many may not fully understand what it entails.
• The hosts emphasize the importance of parents being involved in their children’s education and having a clear goal in homeschooling.
• They explore the relationship between education, religion, and one’s ultimate concerns, highlighting the need for a biblical foundation.
• The episode also addresses concerns about neutrality in education, the role of worldview in curriculum choices, and the need to evaluate materials based on biblical standards.

Compulsion is a mark of tyranny and compulsory education laws along with state-approved/mandated textbooks play a significant role in the effort to undermine and destroy biblical faith.
