Last week, we went over a basic Christian anthropology, with the upshot being that a fully alive, happy, and integrated person is a person a virtue-- who is prudent, just, fortitudinous, and temperate. This week, we'll begin to unpack how our ability to perceive the transcendent depends in part on embracing three virtues. Only the sober can know truth, only the excellent can choose the good, and only the chaste can be touched by beauty. In this episode, we dive into the virtue of sobriety as the gateway to the truth. 

Our reason is one of the most precious gifts we have, and sins against sobriety cut against this very gift. But the virtue of sobriety is not merely not cutting against our reason, but growing in awareness of and appreciation for reality as it is.
