Veritas Vox, the voice of Classical Christian Education, is here to inspire, encourage, and equip your family to classically educate from kindergarten all the way through high school. From interviewing well-known and loved leaders in the classical education community to local homeschooling parents sharing how they classically educate in their homes, we aim to talk about every aspect of classical Christian education and the families that want the best for their children.
Is there a difference between being a Christian nation vs. being a nation founded on Christian principles? Gary DeMar from American Vision dives into this question and provides fascinating insights into America's biblical foundations. Drawing from historical documents and engaging examples, he examines how even non-Christian founders like Jefferson and Franklin understood the importance of biblical principles in governance.
We also explore recent political and cultural shifts in America, why top-down governmental solutions may not be the answer to our nation’s problems, and how Christians can effect change through future-oriented personal responsibility in their families, businesses, and local communities.
Today we chat with Laura King, the Dean of Students at Veritas Scholars Academy, about an exciting mission opportunity coming up in 2025. The Rafiki Foundation is giving VSA families the opportunity to come partner with them as they provide classical education to children at their Kenya campus (one of 40+ classical schools they’ve started in Africa!).
The Rafiki Foundation has been instrumental in building a robust classical Christian curriculum and network of schools across 14 different African countries. They are caring for orphans, training teachers, and providing biblically-sound educational resources to local churches and communities.

Are myths a waste of time, or do they hold profound relevance in our modern world? Today we explore this question with author John Hendrix as he reveals how J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis understood the enduring power of mythology in an age that prioritized reason and science.
Join us as we unpack how myths provide more than mere entertainment. They offer a portal to explore universal human experiences, our longing for the new heavens and earth, and our desire to be part of a greater narrative. In an era where modernity has "exhausted us," find out why mythical stories continue to resonate and provide a sense of belonging that transcends the limitations of a merely fact-based worldview.
