#57 - Scott Daum - What Nobody Knew About the Principal

<p>Scott has a powerful story, and it starts with basketball saving his life and winds through becoming a teacher, coach, and principal at the Academy — until the desire to isolate from that role took over and he pulled away from people entirely. </p><p>This past year, he started coming back. Why? Because he realized he had taken it to the extreme, is content with his life, and ready to pass on what he learned.</p><p>This episode is as much about the life that produced his new book, <em>What Is New Church Education?</em>, as it is about the ideas laid out in it — the principles and philosophy that guided his career as a New Church teacher.</p><p>If you attended a New Church School, teach, or are a parent weighing where to send your kid(s) to school, Scott and I get into why church and state split and what a fully secular education, cut off from God, actually costs a kid who only hears about Him for an hour on Sundays, if at all. </p><p>Welcome to episode 57. </p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Check Out:</strong></p><p>Scott’s new book, <em>What is New Church Education: A Starting Point and Orientation to a Noble Cause</em>, is in the process of being published by the General Church (expected release date: ~EOY) </p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/dLrvJeSugkM?si=7pXrP5ejqQ7E7Qu7" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">No.1 Christianity Expert: If You DON’T Believe in a God you need to hear this!</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-People-Powerful/dp/1982137274/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.SqwOwJ5zN4dTSawslkpGL4jYcGSd1MDM-cORPiS5g1zbl-xBVXwUQSE0wrWwLBivfYFgMeoAKy_ABRpGxzf__Kj1DdwQVeUK9CUy5nzVXttM_g0bvjkyF3lRD2DuAa9SCh3NfEK8hEDWMJKuqCsX1SoH62f_ICthGy25UyaY8A4hfD8P1SHHGBFMoFoOlMhRf1ollPGuZR1cbtxKdNlyROFLMA5hmrH9Y0HkHmmXDOI.ZV333CfsGt7zJeUZKJT1lPjfmyAZKQFwGXpFb5jNCpo&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;hvadid=777884742432&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvexpln=67&amp;hvlocphy=9007211&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvocijid=7779291419474788593--&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=7779291419474788593&amp;hvtargid=kwd-305179162467&amp;hydadcr=22597_13821273&amp;keywords=the+7+habits+highly+effective+people&amp;mcid=1e00b17d2c343f69a24500418e66a94f&amp;qid=1784128992&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">7 Habits of Highly Effective People</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Elevate the Experience</strong></p><p>Help bring better audio, video, and filmed episodes to life:<a href="https://www.venmo.com/u/TheEthanCLewinPodcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> Venmo</a>.
