What if suffering isn’t the clearest sign I’m on the right path?
In this episode, I explore the legacy of high-control Christianity and its elevation of pain as virtue, contrasted with a different ethical vision rooted in aliveness, pleasure, and embodied experience. Drawing on David Congdon, Linn Tonstad’s resurrection-centered theology, and Carrie Jenkins’ work on love, I begin to reframe pleasure as something deeper than indulgence—as a guide toward a more fully lived life.
This is an exploration of ethical hedonism, not as an escape from suffering, but as a way of no longer centering it.
