What happens after we realize that education is about far more than information transfer?

In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens sits down with David Goodwin, president of the Association of Classical Christian Schools and co-author of the New York Times bestselling book Battle for the American Mind. David's newest book, Forging the American Mind, serves as a practical guide for parents and educators who want to understand not only why classical Christian education matters, but how it actually works.

Tune in to hear:

Why Battle for the American Mind resonated with so many parents and educators
What paideia is and why it shapes every child's understanding of truth, identity, and purpose
Why the most important question in education is not "What do you know?" but "How do you know?"
How Dorothy Sayers and C.S. Lewis continue to influence the classical Christian education movement
Practical examples of classical education in action, from great books and handwriting to Socratic discussion and dialectical learning
How adults who feel they "missed out" on a classical education can begin pursuing one today

Along the way, David offers a compelling vision for recovering the lost tools of learning and cultivating wisdom, virtue, and intellectual freedom in the next generation. Whether you're a parent, educator, school leader, or lifelong learner, this conversation will help you think more deeply about what education is for and how it shapes both individuals and culture.
