How the Digital Age is Impacting Christian Higher Education The age of technology has changed everything.  But in what ways is our world different?  How have we as individuals been changed?  What challenges do we face and how should Christian educators in higher education respond?

The development of the Computer Age and then the Digital Age took the world by storm.  We are still reeling from its effects.  Learn how technology has and continues to make an impact on higher education in this episode of FREDTalks Podcast.      

One of the most commonly-used forms of instruction in academic classrooms is the lecture.  Loved by some, hated by others, it's been a part of the educator's toolbox for hundreds of years, and that isn't likely to change soon.  And, for that matter, there is nothing wrong with lecturing-- particularly if one is a good lecturer and assuming it's not overused to the point that learners disengage from the educational process. So whether a professor uses lecture seldomly or frequently, when he or she does-- it is important that the lecture is educationally potent and pedagogically powerful.  To achieve that, listen to this podcast episode and learn more about the secrets of better lecturing, in hopes that you will connect with the elusive "teaching moment"-- where students are forever changed by the impact of an effective teacher.

  The Difference Between Teaching at a Church and at a College is real, but sometimes Christian Educators miss it.  Christian Education occurs in both church settings and college or seminary settings, but the roles and responsibilities of a Pastor are different form those of a Professor.  And the goals of a church are different than the goals of a college or institution of higher learning.  Learn what those are and how to teach in both venues with excellence.

In this podcast episode, join Dr. Freddy Cardoza as the addresses how to come to terms with the two different extremes of academic classrooms a professor will face: The Motivated Classroom and the Meme Classroom.  In academic situations, one of these is the "ideal" classroom-- and for some profs, the other is the "real" classroom.  These two scenarios will be described in detail and tips will be given regarding how the professor should approach teaching these two extremes, in order to become the best professor one can be.

In this episode, FREDTalks host Dr. Freddy Cardoza speaks about The Two Problems in Higher Education and then discusses problems that can plague the learning environment when teachers and learners fail to fulfill their responsibilities in the teaching-learning enterprise.

What should Christians know?  Is there a body of beliefs that represent what it means to be a Christian?  Are there essential ideas that comprise a Christian way of thinking? Is there such a thing as a biblical worldview? Are there truths that, if known, could help us live with more certainty? Should people expect to live their lives in spiritual confusion? These are the types of questions answered in this podcast, Episode 002 - What Mature Christians Should Know.

Christianity is the world's largest religion with over 2 Billion professing believers.  Christianity developed from the Jewish faith, with Jesus of Nazareth, a Jew, being identified as the Messiah of the World.  Christianity spread rapidly, ultimately becoming the official religion of the Roman Empire, in addition to spreading into the Eastern Hemisphere.  This made Christianity global, as it spread to all continents.  Christianity has three major divisions, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant.  In this podcast, these movements and the essential beliefs of Evangelical Christianity are discussed, along with points of contrast and comparison between biblical concepts and the teachings of other religions.  The conclusion is that, contrary to popular belief, Christianity does not teach the same thing as other religions and that the different religions communicate completely different concepts of God that force people to decide which, if any, faith is true and should be followed.             Christ
