Dr. James Schroeder joins the Son Rise Morning Show to discuss why sleep is essential for children's learning, mental clarity, emotional health, and overall well-being. As families head back to school, Dr. Schroeder explains how much sleep children and teenagers actually need, why today's teens are particularly sleep-deprived, and how inadequate sleep can be connected with anxiety and other difficulties. He also addresses one of the biggest obstacles to healthy sleep: smartphones in the bedroom. From charging phones outside the bedroom to creating a calming bedtime routine and a sleep-friendly environment, Dr. Schroeder offers practical advice parents can put into practice right away.

Better Sleep, Better Learning: Helping Kids Get the Rest They Need

Dr. Benjamin Lewis of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) joins Matt Swaim to explore the hymn “Within God’s Vast Eternal Courts” for the Feast of St. Bartholomew. Dr. Lewis unpacks the hymn’s references to Nathaniel’s calling in the Gospel of John, his purity of heart, his martyrdom, and the heavenly reward promised to the apostles. He also reveals the fascinating meaning behind the Latin word conglutinat—“he bound you closely to himself”—and its connections to Scripture, including the Psalms and Deuteronomy. A fascinating look at how the Church’s liturgical hymns can contain layers of Scripture, theology, and even unexpected connections to St. Bartholomew’s traditional patronage of leatherworkers and bookbinders.
