About this Episode

Steve talks about being an old friend-he’s 58

How God maneuvered him into what he is doing now – talked about what he did in his previous life as a non-believer.

How he got into teaching civics to high school homeschoolers in 2012.

Steve talked about adding Christian ethics, what he has his degree in, to his civics foundational course. Curriculum comes from BJU Press-Bob Jones University. He then altered that material to make it applicable to current events.

He calls it “Teaching in Real Time.”

Why Civics? Why did he start with civics….most Americans don’t know it because only 10-states in the U.S. require civics teaching.

The age range of his students who he teaches history & civics to…

He teaches in person and online upwards of 70 people online per week.

Steve keeps the environment close to a homeschool as possible.

How his classes are set up and how he does them on video….so he records them and delivers them via YouTube via an email link. So, what he teaches on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday in person, the students online get on Friday.

Why he wants to keep his teaching as current as possible and he has shown over 1,000 students since he started how to apply the Bible to real life.

Does he miss radio-loves teaching-& how he transitioned out of it. How he came to the decision to teach only and give up radio.

How just teaching has changed him, even to the point where his children noticed.

He then uses Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7th as an example of how teenagers don’t pay all that much attention to what happened that day.

His students learn the value of history, the value of the past….and how it impacts today.

The differences between how we grew up and how kids grow up today via the changes in digital technology. We live in an advanced media culture world.

Why older Christians need to inform the young; we have an obligation

How does a parent sign up their teens for his online courses. Steve walks us through the process. He also discusses what the courses cost…and he’ll offer payment plans to parents who cannot afford the courses. Steve will work with them to figure it out. Steve wants your students in his classes.

How teaching history makes it easy to teach a Christian worldview. Wants to add philosophy, theology, media literacy, communications & perhaps journalism.

Helping students learn the value of discernment.
