Pitfalls of the Proud (Humility Series, Part Two) May 18, 2021

Show notes

After defining and comparing both secular and religious perspectives of what true humility is, it's time to study it's vice.

Using the 12 Degrees of Pride outlined by St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Michelle and Lindsay take a look at some of the ways we could fall prey to pride today... and where to most be on our guard!

The Mother of All Virtues: Why Humility Is Essential (Humility Series, Part One) May 11, 2021

Show notes

The virtue of "humility" is often hugely misunderstood in the today's cultural context. Even Forbes.com has acknowledged that "humility is frequently associated with being too passive, submissive or insecure, but (that) this couldn’t be any further from the truth." This week, Michelle and Lindsay discuss what that Truth actually is, what practicing humility looks like and why it's so critical that we rediscover the cultivation of it.

On the Dignity of Work May 04, 2021

When we think about "work" today, words like "drudgery", "toil" and "dull" tend to sum up the collective mood.

This week, Michelle and Lindsay chat about the history of work, how labour was always a part of the "plan" and how to view it through a lens that will ultimately leave us satisfied, fulfilled and dignified.
