Welcome to Season 4 of the podcast!
It’s hard to believe we’ve been at this for over three semesters now. To kick off this season, we’re diving into an important and thought-provoking topic: What is the purpose of education?

Joining me for this conversation are our Dean of Academics, Tim Thomack, and English teacher Josie Oberdieck. Together, we explore the philosophy behind this fundamental question, discussing how Christian education uniquely differentiates what it means to teach students what is good, beautiful, and true. It’s an insightful episode that goes straight to the heart of what sets Christian ed apart.

We're not sure how much life the Lukewarm Take segment has in it, but Zoeller and I are also back with a new Take. This time, it's about chapstick from Tim Thomack and Megan Obermueller.

This episode offers zero educational value whatsoever. To celebrate the Christmas season, we are wrapping up season 3 with a full episode of Lukewarm Takes. Your hosts bring some serious Scrooge energy this week (Hannah more than Zoeller), but we hope this lighthearted banter gives you a few laughs and brightens your day as the semester winds down.

Here’s the lineup of Lukewarm Takes we cover:

1. Andy (Zoeller's brother): Putting up Christmas lights is not worth it.
2. Hannah: Joy to the World is the worst Christmas song.
3. Zoeller: The best scene of It's a Wonderful Life happens in the bridge tollbooth.
4. Jennifer (Hannah's sister): Christmas decorations hit stores way too early.

Season 4 will start in January. In the meantime, send us any ideas, suggestions, or thoughts you have for the Pod to podcast@lhsparker.org. We love getting your zephyrs. Merry Christmas!

This week on the podcast, our Men’s and Women’s Christian Decision teachers, Jason and Alicia, tackle questions submitted by their students! We dive into a wide range of topics, from seeking Godly relationships to staying connected to God even when we don't feel His presence. We barely scratched the surface of the students' submissions, so stay tuned—Jason and Alicia will be back for a follow-up episode to address more questions!

For this week’s Lukewarm Take, Shelby Spitz's roommates bring us a submission on her behalf. It’s less of a lukewarm take and more of an impromptu roommate counseling session—but we’re here for it!

We'll be taking a little break from the Pod for Christmas but will be back with Season 4 of the Pod in January. Thanks for listening!
