We'll explore four common views on human nature—Hobbessian, Lockean, Rousseauian, and Biblical—unpacking how the Imago Dei and the salvation of Christ help us navigate life most accurately.

We'll also explore Aristotle's three types of friendships—Utility, Pleasure, and Virtue—and reflect on their relevance for personal and professional relationships.

On this episode of Wisdom Talks, we delve into America's foundational documents and their lasting impact on our freedoms today. In light of the recent 4th of July celebrations and the buzz from the RNC convention (as well as the upcoming DNC), we're reflecting on the core principles that shaped our nation.

Join us as Rachael and Rob explore the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Northwest Ordinance, and the U.S. Constitution.
