## Resource

Andrew Kern joins me for the first part of a conversation about education, parenting, attention, and the spiritual foundations of learning. We explore why modern education may be cultivating anxiety rather than wisdom, how technology and constant distraction shape the minds of children, and why Andrew believes the ability to pay attention is one of the most important skills a person can develop. Together we discuss Christian education, conformity, the purpose of schooling, raising children in a digital age, and how faith, beauty and truth can transform the way we think about learning, culture and the next generation.
