Live & Learn with Daniel Floyd

De: Daniel Floyd
  • Resumen

  • Hello there! My name is Daniel. I’m a teacher and a family man living in the Midwest. I’m also a committed follower of Jesus. I’m on a journey trying my best to learn and live out God’s design for what it means to be a great husband, father, and teacher. I’ve always considered myself a lifelong learner, but I don’t want to keep my learning to myself. I want to discuss my thoughts with others and refine my ideas through authentic dialogue. On this podcast, I invite you to join me as I have in-depth, unedited conversations with my wife, other parents, and fellow educators about how we can faithfully live life God’s way. My hope is that by listening in to these conversations, you will be able to learn something too.

  • 32 What makes Christian education "Christian"?
    Jun 29 2024

    This episode is a recording of a talk Daniel gave at the Train Up educators conference in Fresno, CA. This conference was a gathering of Christian educators from various backgrounds (homeschool, private school, public school).

    In this talk, Daniel outlines the Christian view of education and articulates how it differs from non-Christian education. Working out of Ephesians 6:4, Daniel explains the concept of "paideia" and the Christian view that education is about culture building- not career or college preparation. He emphasizes that Christian education is not simply a variation on secular education, but rather operates on fundamentally different premises that give rise to a distinctly Christian purpose and curriculum.

    We hope you enjoy!

  • 31 Jake Sevits: The Life Lessons of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
    Apr 6 2024

    On this episode, Daniel brings on Jake Sevits to discuss the unexpected benefits of practicing Brazilian jiu jitsu. Jake is the owner and founder of the Old School Jiu Jitsu gym. He has been training in BJJ for over 7 years.

    BJJ is a martial art in which two opponents compete in a wrestling-like manner to submit each other with a choke or joint lock. BJJ is a highly complex sport that takes years to master (generally more than 10 years to reach black belt).

    In training this martial art, Daniel and Jake have found that the physical struggle of BJJ serves as a training ground for developing character traits that strengthen the individual for struggles outside the gym. Drawing from their personal experiences, they discuss how BJJ develops characteristics like physical and mental endurance, confidence, the ability to keep your ego in check, humility to ask others for help, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations rather than panicking or giving up.

    We hope you enjoy this epic convo!

  • 30 Nate & Larissa: Does God care about how fit you are?
    Feb 10 2024

    We have new guests on the podcast! Nate and Larissa Fajkus are close friends to Schelleen and Daniel, and they all sit down to be discuss physical health from a Christian perspective. 

    Many of us think of healthy diet and exercise as important for taking care of ourselves, and a lot of us treat a healthy lifestyle as being somewhat optional. We may think of people that take health and fitness super seriously as “health nuts” and ourselves as “normal people” who prioritize other things. 

    But maybe this is the wrong paradigm. Could it be that health and fitness aren’t about our own wellbeing, but rather about our ability to care for others? And could it be that our dietary choices don’t just apply to our physical bodies, but also hold implications for our spiritual wellbeing? Does God really care whether we eat junk food or not? Does our physical fitness have anything to do with our spiritual maturity? 

    We discuss all this and more! Stay tuned.
