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.


Math Beyond the Textbook: Creative Summer Learning Ideas Everyday Educator

What if the secret to making math enjoyable for your kids was already sitting in your game closet? Join Delise Germond and Babs Harrell, two self-proclaimed "non-math moms" who discovered their love for numbers later in life, as they share creative ways to weave mathematical thinking into your family's summer activities. From turning Uno into algebra practice to finding God's patterns in stop signs, this episode will completely transform how you view math education. Whether your child is 3 or 13, you'll walk away with practical ideas that prove math isn't just about worksheets—it's about discovering the beautiful order God placed throughout His creation.
