The Chesterton Difference! We are blessed to be a part of the Chesterton Schools Network!
Chesterton Academy of Annapolis was recently featured in a Catholic News Agency article. “These students come out of Chesterton Academy knowing how to solve problems, and most of life is solving problems. But we try to put the faith at the center of their lives, and they come out with a deep and productive faith.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/eQqAZzjU
Many classical and Christian school leaders tend to employ a near-exclusive emphasis on vision-casting, often as an excuse to indulge their own ambivalence toward planning, their disregard for disciplined operations, or their reluctance around intentional colleague engagement. I have known men and women who, though unflinchingly committed to the ideals of classical and/or Christian education, were severely limited in advancing it as a cause. They could defend the classical ideal eloquently. But they struggled to execute toward it in a consistent and sustainable way. Their great strength—a passion for our great spiritual and intellectual tradition—loomed so large that it led them to ignore the need to implement the requisite supporting structures. Whatever you may think about Jobs, he is spot on in highlighting that craftsmanship is as important as a great idea. How we organize and operate our schools matters. We desperately need more craftsmanship in the classical and Christian ed movement. #classical #christian

"But the reality of this metaphor is that as modern culture runs in wild circles trying to “fix” or “fill” what we believe to be wrong with our identities, we miss the quiet invitation to let the greatest Doctor and Healer into these spaces of our lives that need action and direction" Read more in Caleb Wells's new article "Above All Earthly Powers: How the Gospel Fills the Gap Within Our Identities" by clicking the link below or in our Bio! #studentpublication #gordonreview #gordoncollege #magazine #christian #christianpublication #christiannews

It is day 4️⃣ of #SELWeek! Today we're going to look at self-management. Self-management 💭 🤬 ✋🏼 😠 Many of our students assume emotions like anger or frustration are intrinsically wrong. However, this couldn't be farther from the truth of God's design. Scripture tells us to "be angry, and do not sin." We also know that Jesus felt emotions like indignation from passages like Mark 10. Our students need to understand that our emotions are opportunities. We can manage and regulate them in a way that honors God, or we can gratify the desires of our flesh. As educators, we should model and teach self-management skills to our students on a regular basis. Want to know more about engaging and practicing self-management from a Christian worldview? Our book can help! 👇 👇 👇
📚🤔 In a recent discussion with an aspiring pastor facing a significant career crossroads—accepting a full scholarship for Seminary versus exploring alternative yet fulfilling ministry paths—highlighted a critical aspect of preparing for ministry leadership. As someone with extensive experience in theological education, I deeply value its contributions. However, our conversation pivoted to a fundamental inquiry: Why Seminary? 🎓 This isn't to question the importance of theological education but to emphasize that leading and growing a church demands more than just theological knowledge. It requires a profound understanding of and engagement with the surrounding culture. Reflecting on St. Patrick's Feast Day, St. Patrick's approach to ministry was emblematic of this philosophy. He didn't limit his efforts to preaching; he deeply immersed himself in the culture of the people he sought to reach, understanding their beliefs, music, and arts to communicate effectively. 🍀💡 The core of our discussion wasn't to devalue theological studies but to advocate for a broader set of tools in ministry. Balancing deep theological insights with an acute awareness of the cultural landscapes we navigate might just be the key to making a more substantial impact on our communities and church growth. 🚀 I invite your insights: How do you balance theological education with cultural engagement in your ministry practices?
