A Contemporary Ethic of Ancient Spiritual Struggle with Dr. Stephen Meawad

In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Stephen Meawad discuss the reintegration of contemporary ethics with ancient Christian theology and practice. Dr. Meawad argues that virtue ethics alone is not sufficient to lead to a full life as it can only turn us inward, ultimately leading to failure and frustration. It is only in our pursuit of God that we can lead truly meaningful lives.

Nothing on earth is its equal. It is without fear. It looks down on all who are haughty; it is king over all who are proud. 

These words inspired PJ Wehry to create Chasing Leviathan. Chasing Leviathan was born out of two ideals: that truth is worth pursuing but will never be subjugated, and the discipline of listening is one of the most important habits anyone can develop. 

Every episode is a dialogue, a journey into the depths of a meaningful question explored through the lens of personal experience or professional expertise.
