Learning to Think with William Bortins
Are you looking for a free place to think? Are you tired of hearing a scripted point of view read by an empty body? Our culture is saturated with noise: clickbait headlines, news narratives, political movements, and more. All of these distractions have taught us what to think not how to think. This show hosts conversations with individuals who have demonstrated their ability to sift through the noise and express counter cultural ideas with practical applications.
How Art Unlocks Math for Homeschool Moms – Everyday Educator
Did you know that art and math are speaking the same language — and your kids are already fluent? In this episode of the Everyday Educator podcast, host Delise Germond sits down with Kirsty Gilpin and Babs Harrell — two of the women behind the Classical Conversations Math Map — to talk about why CC's homeschool math curriculum approaches every concept through the lens of art, and what that means for your family's math education. Whether you're a self-proclaimed "not a math person" or a homeschool mom who wants more than a textbook, this conversation will reshape how you think about teaching math at home. Kirsty and Babs share how the Math Map connects shapes, symmetry, and dimensions to truth, beauty, and goodness — and ultimately, to God himself. In this episode, you'll hear why even the most art-loving, math-avoiding parent can engage confidently with the CC Math Map, practical encouragement for where to start (hint: just talk about the booklet cover!), and why setting your highest math goal as "discovering God through math" changes everything.
