Beauty, what is it? Is it objective? Is it useful? Does man need it?

In a world surrounded by brand marketing, AI, and modern architecture focused on efficiency, a question arises: do we need beauty, do we need creativity? 

#life #art #artist #creative #ai #creativity #podcast #motivation #beautiful #architecture #painting #love 

Famous YouTubers like Casey Neistat and Peter Mckinnon have critizied AI because of its capacity to "reproduce" imaging. Why is their emphasis on the creative subject to vehement and, we think, worth fighting for? 

It is not only YouTubers arguing against AI as a sole recourse of productivity, but several other academics, particularly, aestheticians. Again, this just reaffirms our conviction, modern man is ignorant of beauty and, therefore, does not consider it necessary. 

Well, Logos is here to dive into this trying conversation. We will define beauty (according to the Western Tradition), outline its characteristics, and challenge its listeners to take the Beautiful serious because without it...man dies!

In this episode, Logos discusses the "fitness culture" of today. Whether it be through promo videos, supplement ads, or workout regimes, it consumes so much of our lives.

However, the question becomes: when does "taking care of yourself" become too much? Is there such a standard? Well, we take the time to assess some of these questions and more through a Christian lens. Check it out and tells us what you think!

In this episode, Logos assess what "the heart" is and its relationship to the popular Catholic June devotion known as: The Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ. With all of the talk of "pride month", we thought it fitting to talk about love, the passion, and the heart, and how to reclaim the culture we cannot rely on ourselves. In order to be purified and happy, we must turn to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ that experiences and loves perfectly.

Today, Logos brings on Dr. Ashley Fernandes to discuss contemporary medical practice and its approach to a person who is suffering and dying.  Dr. Fernandes is uniquely positioned to discuss this topic as he has a background in philosophy and medicine - stemming from the classroom to the bedside. 

Thus, he brings a wholistic and unique perspective to some of man's deepest questions: what is the value of the person? does life matter? should suffering be avoided at all costs?

These questions and more we discuss on this episode. But for now, pray for Dr. Fernandes and all of those in the medical field fighting for the roots and value of Christian anthropology. 

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!

Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, Chris Messina, Chris Tucker, and Viola Davis. All in one movie? What could it be? Well, a movie about a shoe. But a shoe attached to a person.

Michael Jordan, you know the name? If you don't, it says more about you than him. 

Recently, Ben Affleck directed the movie Air which is a biographical sports drama of the shoe "Air Jordan" produced by Nike in the the late 1980's. Why make a movie about a shoe? Well, as the adage in the movie goes, "a shoe is a shoe until someone steps into it." Indeed, Michael Jordan is no ordinary man. He changed the game of basketball and the athletic demand at large. 

Guys, we hope you enjoy this review/analysis of the movie as we take a deeper dive into some of its insightful themes and our assessment of them.

Friends, on today's episode, Logos discusses tradition with Michael Lofton, a Catholic Apologist. You might recognize Michael from his show Reason and Theology, his recent interview with Matt Fradd on Pints with Aquinas, or his appearance on EWTN, Catholic Answers, and various other projects.

In this discussion, we discuss what tradition is generally, what it is particular to the Christian life, and how tradition relates to other emerging "traditions." 

The central questions in play: *what is tradition?" and does it matter?"

Welcome to the party.

In this episode, Logos discusses the relationship between The Seal of Confession and Civil law. With the recent sex abuse scandals and many other issues in the Church: why grants the Church the ability to practice its right? Where does this authority to "forgive sins" come from anyways? Civil justice over divine justice, many chant.

In order to cover this topic more comprehensively, we invited Deacon. Harrison Garlick, a  civil lawyer, to help us out.

With Andrew Tate, Ryan Holiday, Matthew McConaughey, and Joe Rogan promoting Marcus Aurelius and the Stoic way of life, Logos felt the need to dive into the conversation. Per-usual, philosophical discourse motivates this conversation, yet we bring it into communion with the great gift God has given man to encounter Him, namely the Gospel.  

As a part of this conversation, we will define stoicism, its ethical, epistemological, and theological implications, and their relationship to the Gospel. Buckle in, you are in for a philosophical, yet fascinating ride down "Ponder Avenue" on "Joey and Max Blvd" destined for the Jesus Christ. Did I draw this analogy out too long? I did, didn't I?  

Anyways, enjoy the show and God bless!

On this episode, Logos brings on John Donahue from  @truthcharting to discuss all sorts of things; from wrestling alligators to discussing beauty to discerning the MetaVerse to reflecting on Jesus Christ, this conversation encompasses a lot.

Some of the central questions we dive into are the following:
- Who is John Donahue?
- Should the Church enter the world of Social Media?
- How do we remain close to God amidst working in such a progressive realm?
- Why is social media good and bad?
- Is there a such thing as moderation in social media?
- Does experience Trump reality?
- Why should the Church enter the social media realm?

Friends, join us in welcoming our guest this week and praying for him and us as we continue the mission! We hope you find the conversation fruitful.
