Logos Podcast

Why are humans so bad at navigating the relationship between work and leisure?

We all want that relation to be integrated and ordered. In fact, we all know that our recreation should infuse our work and vise versa. Yet, we are either attached to our work or deem it a mere drudgery. Why? Is there a way back to a more whole, integrated living?

In this episode, we deal with these and more questions with Matt Hylom.

In this comeback episode, we digest one of Pope Francis' recent letter on the importance, the necessity, even, of literature.

Reading is for nerds, right? Yes...but also for non-nerds. We all need to foster an attitude of contemplation that literature develops within us.

In this episode, we dive into Max's thesis. What is truth? Better asked, who is truth? According to Joseph Ratzinger, Max argues, Truth is a person and that person extends Himself to man as something reasonable and relational.

In this episode, we approach another cultural piece going back to 2013 with titled Super Rich Kids from Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange Album. 

Yes, it is now over 10 years old, but this song continues to ring in people’s ears and hearts. Or, at the very least, Dcn. Max’s. 

Why? 

Well, we give an analysis of the song and draw out its major philosophical and theological themes to bring you closer to the Person who is truth…the Logos, Jesus Christ. 

You let us know if it rings true.

In this episode, we discuss about being pure in heart. 

It is something we all need to grow in, but it is especially timely given our secular cultural’s celebrations of “Pride month” as opposed to the Church’s celebration of The Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ. 

Then, we tell the story of St. Charles Lwanga and Companions as they died at the hands of a king whose sexual tendencies they never submitted to in the name of Jesus Christ.
