Can Education Save Civilization? with Dr. Louis Markos 44:33

What’s the real purpose of education? Is it just about passing tests—or passing the torch of civilization itself? In this episode, Dr. Louis Markos, professor, prolific author, and champion of classical Christian education, returns to share insights from his new book, Passing the Torch: An Apology for Classical Christian Education . Drawing from Plato to C.S. Lewis, he makes the compelling case that education is soul formation , not social engineering—and classical Christian education is the only model robust enough to raise morally self-regulating, virtuous citizens. Discover why reading the great books is more than academic—it’s civilizational. Learn how truth, goodness, and beauty still anchor us in a culture adrift. And be encouraged: this is not a nostalgic movement—it’s a necessary revival for the future. 🎧 Join us as we revisit this must-hear episode and rediscover the powerful, culture-shaping purpose of classical Christian education.

Welcome to another Classical Essentials , a special Best of Basecamp Live series! Over the years, we've had incredible conversations unpacking the foundational ideas of classical Christian education. In this series, we're bringing back some of the most popular and essential episodes to help parents, educators, and school leaders better understand the core principles that make this movement so impactful. Why should Christian students read pagan books ? Wouldn’t it be safer to stick to Christian authors? Shouldn’t we only fill our children’s minds with explicitly biblical works? These are common concerns among parents and educators, and in this episode, Dr. Louis Markos offers a compelling answer. Many of history’s greatest books—from Homer to Plato to Virgil —were written by pre-Christian authors. Yet, these works wrestle with profound questions about virtue, truth, and human nature —questions that ultimately point to Christ. Rather than being a threat to faith , these books can deepen a student’s understanding of God’s truth and equip them to engage thoughtfully with today’s secular world. 🎧 Join us as we revisit one of the most downloaded and thought-provoking episodes of BaseCamp Live !

Rediscovering the Joys of Reading, with Cherie Harder 42:24

Imagine it’s 1927, and you’re flipping through a National Geographic magazine. On the back cover, a full-page ad invites you to join the Book of the Month Club, promising to send you a different great book each month. The tagline reads, “Relive the books that charmed you in your youth.” Fast forward 100 years, and what charmed most of us in our youth likely wasn’t one of those great books that shaped Western thought and culture. Today, many Americans don’t read regularly, and even fewer delve into the timeless classics that answer so many of life’s basic questions. But it’s never too late to start. Reading isn’t just critical for our students; it’s equally important for us as adults. So why not rediscover the joy of reading? Join us for this episode of BCL, where we explore the timeless value of great literature and how it can still enrich our lives today with special guest Cherie Harder, who has helped facilitate this for so many people.

Remembering History for Future Generations, with Sam Cox 38:42

Many of us remember history as a school subject filled with long lists of dates and random facts to memorize. However, classical education offers a different approach, treating history as a living conversation with the great minds whose ideas have spanned the centuries. It’s about bringing to life the stories of real people, heroes, and heroines, whose tales inspire us in our historic moments. Our guest today, classical educator Sam Cox, shares his journey of bringing history alive in the classroom. He has retraced the steps of a group of Holocaust survivors, personally spending time with and interviewing them, and even inviting some to meet with his students. Their stories, though often heart-wrenching, demonstrate the triumph of the human spirit and the joys of lives well-lived in their new home in the United States.

Motivating Youth in a Lazy & Distracted World, with Craig Hefner 42:52

Have you ever seen a young person struggling to get motivated, complaining about boredom, or seeming a bit lazy and apathetic? Or perhaps they’re the opposite, always busy, distracted, and jumping from one thing to the next throughout the day. This behavior is common in our modern world, but the ancients had a unique word for it: Acedia. Although this term has faded from our vocabulary, it’s worth rediscovering, as it helps us better understand this prevalent vice, especially challenging for teenagers. Fortunately, our guest Craig Hefner brings encouraging words and practical solutions to reframe this mindset in our homes and schools.

If you spend time in classical Christian schools you’ll probably hear the phrase “the true, the good, and the beautiful.” These ideals represent the highest values and aspirations of humanity originating in Greek philosophy and found throughout the works of Plato- but what do they actually mean, and why do they matter today… beyond being an inspiring slogan or an ideal phrase to put on a wall hanging from Hobby Lobby? How do these concepts serve as a framework for raising the next generation and achieving full human flourishing? Listen to this episode with guest Junius Johnson to dive in.

Proverbs tells us that joy and laughter are good medicine for the soul, but the Bible also cautions us against foolish talk and crude joking. So what role should humor play in our classrooms, hallways, and homes? It is especially challenging when so much of what is presented to us today in the world is humor that is often inappropriate and at someone else’s expense. Join us for this episode of BCL with Comedian Sean Hancock who helps us find joy and laughter in what is true, good and beautiful.

In recent decades, classical education has experienced significant growth both in the U.S. and globally. This educational approach takes various forms, including traditional five-day programs, hybrid/collaborative models, and homeschooling. Alongside these formats, a flurry of terms like “classical Christian,” “Christian classical,” “classical liberal arts,” and “humanities education” have emerged. Understanding and distinguishing among these options can be complex for schools and parents alike. Today, Dr. Chris Schlect, Director of the Classical and Christian Studies at New Saint Andrews College, joins us to help clarify these terms and explore their significance in shaping the next generation through our homes and schools.

How Music and Arts Transform School and Home, with Preston Atwood 44:12

St. Augustine famously remarked that “to sing is to pray twice.” Music and arts play vital roles in our daily lives and are essential components of any classical Christian school or home. However, engaging meaningfully with traditional forms of music, as well as with worship through prayer and Scripture, can be challenging—especially if we don’t have good examples around us as adults and the idea of leading something we aren’t very good at can be intimidating. My guest today has done us a favor as schools and parents with a fresh vision and proven and practical ways to engage well in music and the arts in our homes and schools.Special Thanks to this week’s incredible sponsors: Americas Christian Credit Union Classical Learning Test Grand Canyon University Gutenberg College Life Architects Coaching Order Cantate Domino by Preston Atwood at https://hymnworks.com/product/cantate/ .
