Tales of Virtue
What makes someone truly great? How does a person become brave, faithful, and good?
In Tales of Virtue, students will enter the world of heroes—both biblical and historical—whose lives reveal the power of character. Through storytelling, discussion, and reflection, we’ll discover how courage is built through faith, how daily choices form lifelong habits, and how God shapes ordinary people for extraordinary purposes.
Each week begins with a captivating story: from Daniel, who prayed daily and served faithfully under foreign kings, to Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, who stood his ground at Gettysburg, to John Quincy Adams, who fought against slavery even when his nation refused to listen, followed by guided conversation that helps students see how the same virtues can take root in their own lives. As Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
This class is an invitation to admire what is noble, to practice what is good, and to begin forming the habits of a faithful life. Students will learn that true heroism is not found in fame or power, but in steadfast love, daily courage, and devotion to the truth.
Requirements:
Students should come with a spirit of curiosity and respect, ready to listen, think, and participate in meaningful conversations. Each week we will learn from the stories of real heroes who lived with courage, faith, and integrity.
Students will need to bring a notebook, along with a pen and pencil, for writing and reflection during class.
