Sunday School EP 6: On The Meaning of Life with Dr. Kevin Vost Jun 10, 2018

Show notes

Psychologist and philosopher Dr. Kevin Vost joins Pat Flynn to talk about, well, the meaning of life, of course!

"Long before my time, philosophers spoke of wonder and wisdom, and we were told that above all else we should love God with all that we are and love our neighbors as we love ourselves.

At the end of the day (or of the life, to be precise), I don't think a person has to accomplish great things on a vast scale to live a most meaningful life. I think what matters most is that we make the most of the abilities and opportunities that have been given to us, and help others to do the same. This is the stuff not of riches or fame, but of growing, caring, and nurturing, of study, friendship, and family. These can supply plenty of meaning, purpose, and happiness. And if, when our life on this earth has ended, even one person can think of us, smile, and be thankful we were here, that is all for the better."

Sunday School EP 5: Is It Healthy to Be Religious? Jun 10, 2018

Show notes

Father Steve Grunow, CEO of Word on Fire joins Pat to discuss research around the physical and mental health benefits of being religious/spiritual.

"Religious/spiritual beliefs and practices are commonly used by both medical and psychiatric patients to cope with illness and other stressful life changes. A large volume of research shows that people who are more R/S have better mental health and adapt more quickly to health problems compared to those who are less R/S...

"In this paper I have reviewed and summarized hundreds of quantitative original data-based research reports examining relationships between religious/spirituality and health. These reports have been published in peer-reviewed journals in medicine, nursing, social work, rehabilitation, social sciences, counseling, psychology, psychiatry, public health, demography, economics, and religion. The majority of studies report significant relationships between R/S and better health."

Sunday School EP 4: Why You Should Be Religious and Not Just Spiritual with Trent Horn Jun 03, 2018

Show notes

Today's society is marked by people of increasing religious indifference, and yet, the vast majority of folks still maintain a sense--and often a deep sense--of spirituality, however ambiguous.

So, in this episode, Pat Flynn and Trent Horn explore the idea of "spiritual but not religious", along with the notion of religious pluralism ("all religions are saying the same thing, so just go with whatever one you want") to see what's lacking and what's wrong there, and to make the case for why a person should be religious AND spiritual, not just one or the other.

About Trent Horn:

After his conversion to the Catholic Faith, Trent Horn earned a master's degree in theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville, a master's degree in philosophy from Holy Apostles College, and is pursuing a master's degree in bioethics from the University of Mary.

As a staff apologist for Catholic Answers, he specializes in teaching Catholics to graciously and persuasively engage those who disagree with them. Trent models that approach each week on the radio program Catholic Answers Live, where he dialogues with atheists, pro-choice advocates, and other non-Catholic callers.

Trent is also an adjunct professor of apologetics at Holy Apostles College and the author of seven books, including Answering Atheism, The Case for Catholicism, and Why We're Catholic: Our Reasons for Faith, Hope, and Love.

So, on this episode, Dr. Verschuuren, human geneticist, biologist, and philosopher of science, joins Pat Flynn to discuss the topic of evolution and God to clear away some common (and unnecessary) points of confusion, while highlighting the important and supportive relationship science and religion can (and should!) have.

So in this episode, Pat talks about how to have a good argument. He covers some of the basic building blocks of logic and deductive reasoning, so you can start to detect, and create, a convincing argument.

So in this episode Pat shares a series of strategies--including, but not limited to--the use of the 80/20 rule for making efforts as effective and efficient as possible. Pat also talks about utilizing Parkinson's Law, the "15 minutes a day" approach, and "gun to your head" thought experiments to get the most juice out of every squeeze.
