Introducing Car(Line) Talk!
I am happy to introduce you to Car(line) Talk: a mini-Podcast designed to be listened to in the car on your way to school. Most weeks we will send out a very short episode featuring encouragements from our faculty and staff, highlights of some of our events, and updates to help you navigate the school year.
As you will discover, very few of these moments are scripted. Much to the chagrin of our team, they usually involve me walking up to them with voice memos open on my phone to ask them a question, and then force them to answer off-the-cuff.
Check in each week for more mini-episodes!

BONUS Audio: Virtue and Social Media (Fall Lecture #2)
Mr. Jon Jordan continues our new CDA Dallas Fall Lecture series with a talk on Virtue and Social Media.
Christian Virtue could be understood as the patient acquisition of holy habits that is started, sustained, and finally accomplished by God’s grace in each of our lives. All of us, including our students, are becoming virtuous. Thousands of small, daily choices are molding us into who we will become.
In light of this reality, what role does Social Media play in our development as virtuous humans? What impact, positive or negative, does daily interaction with the digital world have on our souls? What can we do as parents, and as a school, in light of these questions?
