ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What is Christian education really for?
In this episode of The Richard Eng Podcast, Richard argues that education is never neutral. Every system of education is forming students according to some vision of what is true, what is good, what is beautiful, and what it means to be human. The question is not whether children will be shaped, but who will shape them — and toward what end.
Richard explores the difference between education and ideology, showing that true education helps students live according to reality, while ideology reduces reality to a preferred narrative. If Christianity is true, then Christian education is not indoctrination — it is formation in the world as it actually is.

In this episode of The Richard Eng Podcast, Richard explores one of the most important questions in Christian education and discipleship: if people know more, will they actually become more like Jesus?
