Geneva Curia Podcasts 2015-16

Join the conversation with our Curia podcasts!

We are hosting a series of panel discussions for Geneva’s assembly, called Curia, recorded as podcasts which invite experts in their fields to explore in in-depth conversations what Geneva’s classical and Christian perspectives mean in the day to day of our lives.

What is Curia?

Curia is our weekly upper school assembly time. Our goal during this time is to hear from interesting, thought-provoking, inspiring, and even challenging speakers from our local community and beyond.

Whether it be a Florida Supreme Court Justice, a missionary to Nicaragua, a retired surgeon, a Vietnam veteran, a volunteer at a local Pro-Life women’s clinic, or the Bat Lady (you’ll have to ask our students), we want to expose our students to the insights, experiences, and wisdom of folks who are living their lives–in the workplace or on the battlefield or the mission field or in the home or anywhere God may take them–through the lens of God’s Word.
