17 January 2020 | St. Anthony the Great | Menlo Park, Calif. 

This week, we’ll discuss the PAR method for living a life of purpose and peace (an art the Lord is teaching me, although I’m a slow learner!) Also in the podcast: St. Anthony the Great, hermit of the desert, terror of demons, zealous ascetic and… fun-loving guy? We’ll delve deep into the themes of fatherhood and sonship (and the virtues of leadership, demonstrated by those who lack them) in Shakespeare’s Henry VI, and take a look at the origins of humanity in Genesis 1. All this, plus a little Renaissance polyphony, on the other side of the play button.
