Podcast: Current Trends in Education, Politics, Counseling

Christian Counseling Associates (one of the Center's ministry partners) featured our Executive Director, Dr. D. Merle Skinner, on their podcast, titled "Christian Education is Back."

Christian education is a very important conversation for us to have as Christian schools are places where kids can be surrounded by traditional values, truth, and the space they need to simply just be a child, so the podcast does cover a lot about the topic of Christian education, BUT it is jam packed with a lot of great content and covers much more than just a conversation about Christian education. In this podcast you'll hear Dr. Skinner & Dr. Rich Hoffman discuss things like....


  • public school, christian/private education, and current trends seen in schools that kids are facing
  • current political and legislative happenings surrounding Christian education and school choice
  • the importance of worldview
  • mental health crisis
  • Christian counseling, current trends seen in this field, and how this relates to students today

 

You can find the podcast on youtube or podomatic.
