"Purpose" is the final topic of our first season and we open the topic in this discussion between Fr Michael Butler, Fr Hans and Paul. Listen to this episode on how a life aimed towards Christ leads men towards creative and meaningful purpose. We cover the following topics:
- contrasting self help approaches to purpose and the Orthodox faith
- balancing making money with meaningful purpose
- purpose at the intersection of ability and interests
- asceticism as a vital element in finding purpose
- barriers to finding purpose - pain avoidance in younger men who have yet to launch and older men who are ticking the boxes
- how the delusion of relativism prevents men from finding purpose - and how a brotherhood providing confirmation and affirmation can help keeping men on the path
- how visiting a monastery can help to find purpose
