We sit down with Dr. Thomas Ward to discuss Boethius, Stoicism, Lady Philosophy, and Plato.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The debt Boethius had to stoicism
  • Athena vs. Lady Philosophy vs Beatrice
  • Are evil people truly happy?
  • Do the pleasures of this life hinder you from pursuing higher things?

Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place

Our new book is available for pre-order from Ascension Press!

“I love this book. It provides wise counsel with beautiful simplicity. So, if you are looking to safeguard your family life from the wiles of the enemy and encourage your spouse and children to become the saints God is calling them to be, this is a book for you.” – Fr Gregory Pine

Home life can be difficult and busy, and it’s easy to get distracted from the point of it all: raising a family of saints.

In Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place, two married couples share what has helped them make their homes a place of encounter with God–a place where saints are being made.
