In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Stephen Hildebrand, Provost of Franciscan University of Steubenville and Professor of Theology, for a conversation on the importance of Catholic education in today’s culture.

We discuss why Catholic education is about far more than academics. It’s about formation, holiness, truth, community, and becoming the person God created you to be. We also dive into the role parents play as the primary educators of their children, the importance of living an integrated Catholic life, and why authentic Catholic formation matters now more than ever.

This episode is part one of a special two-part series in partnership with Franciscan University and the upcoming Steubenville Conferences.
