Our Cultural Moment and the CCE Antidote w/ Gordon Pennington
Our schools obviously exist in the midst of the surrounding culture. The daily bombardment of media techno intrusion can ravage the affections and loves of our students. So it is imperative as parents and educators that we wisely understand the context in which we run our schools and families. The good news is that at the same time and in the same moment, we have at our disposal, one of the most significant antidotes to the lure of the culture, a way to form our students through classical Christian education under God’s sustaining presence. My good friend, Gordon Pennington, joins us again. He is one of the best cultural translators out there with a fascinating background as head of marketing for Tommy Hilfiger and other major brands, and knows well the power of the media to shape and persuade. He gets the fragmented world in which we live, and he sees the significant opportunity before us as parents and educators to raise up the next generation to stand strong and serve well.
