We begin the episode with a conversation about a thought that I had; it seems that Jesus made choices that made his ministry harder. Father teaches about how relative hardness is in virtue and the importance so continually pushing ourselves to become more virtuous.

 When there is something wrong with use physically, we can use medical knowledge to identify what is wrong. However, when something is wrong with us spiritually we have as much harder way of identifying a problem even exists. Father teaches ways that we can identify potential problems within our souls.

Epistemology is the study of how individuals learn. We begin this episode with a discussion of how we all learn. Father uses this episode to dive into how we learn and how to look at ourselves so that we can see all of our strengths and weaknesses. In going through this exercise we will cultivate better relationships.

I am to a degree a product of our culture. In this episode we discuss two things that I do that the Church advises against. The first is the mindset of looking at issues with the question of what is in it for me. The second is a hunter’s mentality of continually reinventing processes to try to find the “perfect” way. The wisdom that Father provides on throughout this episode is very practical and powerful.

It is human nature to have defense mechanisms. In this episode we did into how the Church looks at our defense mechanisms. We begin by looking at the Holy Family and the episode goes on we turn the conversation to ourselves.

We often think of Christmas solely as when God becomes man. In this episode we look at time after the manger scene, specifically focusing on the fact that Jesus is a baby and by default he needed molded and guided.
