Did you ever stop to think that God’s common grace is what allows culture, arts, science, and ordinary vocations to flourish—even among non-Christians? 

Today Marlin Detweiler sits down with theologian Dr. Michael S. Horton to explore how common grace shapes classical Christian education and why we should value truth and beauty wherever we find it.

Dr. Horton explains why classical educators should appreciate the insights of “virtuous pagans” like Aristotle and Cicero and how to balance the final authority of Scripture with the wisdom of the Great Books. The conversation also addresses the restlessness of our modern culture, the importance of ordinary excellence, and the challenges AI poses to wisdom and deep thinking.
