About this listen

What if the future of Christian education isn’t just about better programs—but about a different kind of mindset?

In this episode, Stephen Carter sits down with Dr. John Patterson, Head of School at Brentwood Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, to explore how a Christ-centered growth and entrepreneurial mindset is reshaping life on their 6–12 campus. From daily fitness and Bible classes to capstone projects and advisory groups, Brentwood Academy is intentionally designing a culture where students are challenged, nurtured, and equipped to solve real problems for the good of others.

Dr. Patterson shares why he believes the entrepreneurial mindset is the future of education, how innovation really works in a school with deep traditions, and why relationships—not programs, facilities, or technology—remain the foundation of lasting impact.

If you care about Christian schooling, student formation, and preparing the next generation to think critically and courageously in a rapidly changing world, this conversation will both challenge and encourage you.
