Why Everyone Stopped Reading – It Wasn’t Just Technology
In this episode, Dr. John Patrick explores the silent erosion of literacy in our modern age—how students, despite being constantly exposed to screens, are no longer truly reading. Dr. John Patrick reflects on his own upbringing immersed in classic literature, the influence of educators who loved both their subjects and students, and the vital role the Bible once played in shaping moral consciousness.
This is a powerful reminder that real education is not just about acquiring information but about forming the soul. This episode is both a lament and a call to rediscover the transformative power of reading.
