Beyond Slogans: Can Virtue Actually Be Taught? with Sharon Carlson

About this episode

Sharon Carlson joins Davies Owens to discuss how students can embody truth, goodness, and beauty in their lives through operational theology and spiritual formation.

What does it actually look like for students to live out truth, goodness, and beauty in everyday life? In this episode, Sharon Carlson of Gordon College joins Davies Owens to discuss “operational theology” , helping students connect Christian truth to real-world decisions, failures, relationships, and future plans. Together they explore spiritual formation, discipline as discipleship, and how parents and schools can guide students toward the character of Christ.
