If challenged to defend it in your own words, what would you claim is the "goal" of a bona fide Christian education?
What are you hoping this education will achieve for your children?
Will it land them a high paying job? Will it secure a life of pleasure and ease? Will it produce a full-ride basketball scholarship?
What will determine success or failure at the end of the day?
In this episode of the St. Brendan's Podcast, we will argue that we are aiming at nothing less than making our children committed disciples of Jesus Christ. We don't feel bad owning that, and neither should you!
If we are to provide a truly Christian education for our kids, then we must also have a truly Christian goal FOR that education.
In short, we don't want our children to gain the world only to lose their souls; we want them to emerge on the other side of this paideia as Christians.
P.S. Did we miss you at the 2024 NCP Conference? Feeling a little FOMO? Don't worry–we have you covered.
