Lessons from a Rain Storm

Posted by Trinitas on Mar 10, 2024 6:50:15 PM

The most recent Trinitas Father & Son Camping Trip was one for the books. This annual event was attended by over one hundred young men and their fathers and one serious rain storm. Even while the weather forecast worsened in the days leading up to the storm, Trinitas parents were reminded by visiting speaker Keith McCurdy that difficulties and challenges are essential to the growth and development of sturdy young men.

Four Reasons Families Leave Trinitas (Part #4)

Posted by Trinitas on Jan 26, 2024 9:30:00 AM

During the past few weeks, I have been highlighting some reasons families have left Trinitas, which seems like a dangerous undertaking. I’m not trying to scare people away, of course. My reason for doing this short series is that I want to communicate who Trinitas is to families who want the sort of education we’re offering. One way to do that is by thrusting into the spotlight some of the school’s characteristics that have been breaking points for families in the past. This is the last installment.

#1 The standards are too high!

#2 Trinitas is weak on math!

#3 All that classical stuff is useless in the real world!

Excellence vs Perfectionism: Helping Our Students Avoid Idolatry

Posted by Janine Warmouth on Dec 10, 2023 7:12:16 PM

To graduate students who can think clearly, discern wisely, and articulate winsomely classical, Christian schools must have high standards. This means that there will be a striving for excellence in all that we do. With this, we need to be very careful to pay attention to the temptations that come along with this kind of atmosphere. One such temptation that our students may face is setting up idols of perfectionism and putting their worth in their achievements.

How to Avoid a Culture of Disrespect (and Other Shameful Maladies)

Posted by Trinitas on Dec 3, 2023 1:00:00 PM

I often mention a particular Proverb I think Christian people have begun to neglect. It is Proverbs 29:15, and it goes like this, “The rod and rebuke give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.” As Christians, we have something the rest of the world does not have in the same way: the Holy Spirit. Part of the work of the Spirit in our lives is to illuminate God’s word for us so that we have belief and understanding that is not available to those who do not have the same indwelling Holy Spirit. So when Christians read in the Bible, “The rod and rebuke give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother,” we can know that it is true.
