Episode 19: Kenneth Craycraft
<p>In this episode of the Making Every Class Catholic podcast, I’m joined by Kenneth Craycraft, author of Citizens Yet Strangers, for an engaging conversation on faith, politics, and the challenge of forming students as Catholics in a polarized civic culture. Drawing on his work and experience, Ken reflects on the tensions Catholic educators face when teaching subjects like civics, history, and social studies in a culture shaped by modern political assumptions.</p><p>Together, we explore the competing “stories” that shape our moral imagination: the dominant narrative of liberal individualism, and the Catholic vision of the human person as inherently social, ordered toward truth and the common good. Along the way, we examine how concepts like rights, freedom, and political participation are often misunderstood—even by Catholics—and how language itself can subtly form (or deform) our understanding of what it means to live well together.</p><p>As the conversation unfolds, we dig into the foundations of Catholic social teaching—human dignity, solidarity, subsidiarity, and the common good—and consider how these principles resist being reduced to either left- or right-wing political ideologies. We also discuss the formation of conscience, the moral meaning of voting, and why participation in political life extends far beyond the ballot box. From classroom practices to concrete assignments, we highlight ways educators can help students critically engage political narratives without losing sight of the Gospel.</p><p>Finally, Dr. Craycraft offers a compelling vision of Catholic education as necessarily “subversive” in its refusal of the absolutization of politics. In a culture tempted toward political idolatry, this episode invites educators to form students who can think clearly and act faithfully.</p><p>Music by Braden Kuntz</p>

Episode 18: Dr. Andrew Salzmann
<p>In this episode of the Making Every Class Catholic podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Andrew Salzmann of Benedictine College for an engaging conversation on a fundamental question: What is an education? Drawing from theology, philosophy, and classroom experience, Andy invites us to reconsider education not as information transfer or product generation, but as a process of formation—one that shapes how students think, feel, act, and ultimately love.</p><p>Together, we explore a rich Catholic vision of the human person, one rooted in potential, habit, and growth. Framed by the idea of education as exercise, we explore how students develop intellectual and moral excellence through repeated, meaningful action—much like athletes or musicians. We contrast this with modern “productionist” approaches to schooling, where outcomes and outputs often overshadow the deeper formative purpose of learning. Along the way, we draw connections to everything from Jesuit pedagogy and classical liberal education to contemporary challenges like AI, grading, and student disengagement.</p><p>We also get concrete: what it looks like for teachers to act as coaches rather than mere lecturers, how imitation serves as the foundation for true creativity, and why practices like competition, repetition, and detailed feedback are essential for real growth. From grammar lessons to baseball fields, we highlight the joy students experience when they gain genuine competence—and how that joy reveals something essential about human flourishing.</p><p>Finally, we turn to the ultimate aim of education: the formation of our loves. Drawing on thinkers like Aquinas and Bonaventure, Andy shows how intellectual formation opens the door to deeper love—of truth, of others, and of God. Whether through moments of insight, beauty, or awe, education becomes a path not just to knowledge, but to wonder and gratitude. This episode offers both a philosophical framework and practical vision for educators and parents who want to form not just capable students, but fully alive human beings.</p><p>Music by Braden Kuntz</p>
