What happens when we teach science and math not just as technical subjects—but as opportunities for wonder, worship, and wisdom?

In this summer flashback episode, Davies Owens is joined by renowned classical educator Ravi Jain, co-author of The Liberal Arts Tradition and a leading voice in the recovery of classical science education. Too often, classical schools are seen as focused on the humanities, while math and science remain untouched by the classical tradition. But Ravi makes a compelling case for why recovering natural philosophy—the pursuit of truth in the created world—is vital to forming whole human beings.

From sketchbooks and pendulums to Pascal, Newton, and Galileo, this conversation explores how students can rediscover the beauty and order of God’s creation—and how science class can become a place of discovery, not just memorization.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

Why observation and wonder must be central to classical science

How integrated courses reveal the unity of knowledge

What it means to raise students who seek wisdom over utility

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or school leader, this episode will reshape how you think about math, science, and the pursuit of knowledge.

Summer Flashback: Virtue in Action with Tim Dernlan

How do we move virtue from a vague school value to a transformative life habit? In this special Summer Flashback episode, we revisit one of our most impactful conversations with Dr. Tim Dernlan, joined by two of his high school students. Recorded five years ago but more relevant than ever, this episode explores how one classical Christian school brought virtue to life through intentional student formation—and yes, even lunchtime conversations at Five Guys.

From Aristotle’s golden mean to Biblical foundations, this isn’t just a theoretical discussion. You’ll hear how weekly student groups, guided reflections, and peer accountability made virtue tangible, relational, and long-lasting. If you’ve ever wondered how to bridge the gap between what students know and how they live, this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen in and discover:

• Why character education isn’t enough without virtue formation
• How to define virtues—and their corresponding vices—with clarity
• Real stories from students on how these lessons shaped their friendships and faith
