Lighting A Fire
Bryant Russ
“Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire” - W.B. Yeats   We love to learn. And since God is the Creator of all things, we believe that learning--the process of inquiry, exploration, and discovery--can be a profound act of worship! Come along as we unleash our God-delighting curiosity in conversation with educators, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, authors and more, and experience the transforming power of education rooted in wonder, wisdom, and worship.   Hosted on Acast.
