Considering college? Explore Augustine College, a one-year classical Christian program in Ottawa that prepares students to think and live faithfully in a secular age:
In this episode, Dr. John Patrick reflects on rural education, drawing on a true story of city officials misjudging a farmer's land to illustrate the tacit, hard-won knowledge that farmers possess and bureaucrats lack. He argues that modern education, shaped by academics and faculties of education, fails rural boys who long to work rather than sit in class absorbing what he calls propaganda. Dr. John Patrick discusses Mangal Wadi's book The Third Education Revolution, the Judeo-Christian foundations of Western science through figures like Faraday and Newton, and the erosion of trust and moral culture in modern society. He closes with a case for memorization, poetry, and reading George Herbert, urging a return to church-based education grounded in Scripture and character rather than bureaucratic procedure.
