Catching Foxes

Special thank you to all of the Patrons and fans of the show that have prayed for the Gormley family! *Topic One (about 20 minutes): * We are healing and still hurting a lot, too. I have read every email, comment, and text from you all and even read them to my wife before her D&C surgery. Topic Two (about 40 minutes): Gomer has been doing a lot of reading and research into Atonement theology, especially as it revolves around St. Paul's enigmatic phrase, "Works of the Law". There's a great podcast and interview with Dr. Matthew Thomas on John DeRosa's "The Classical Theism Podcast". They discuss the Second Century Fathers and their concepts of what "works of the law" means (spoiler: it doesn't mean what Martin Luther said). Also applicable is the Dr. Bergsma book Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls where the second to last chapter goes through the Essene theology of the very phrase "Works of the Law". In fact, it is the title of one of the scrolls they found! (Spoiler: it isn't at all what Martin Luther said it was). Topic Three (About 15 minutes): Wokism, BLM, MeToo, LGBT+ Activism and Luke's theory that the Christian underpinnings of the culture are preventing it from getting more violent. Gomer disagrees a bit, but not entirely. Topic Four (About 15 minutes): Luke teaches Gomer about the Super League, its origin story and its rapid demise. Gomer responds with the philosophy of Aladair MacIntyre's notion of Internal and External Goods to a Practice. And Gomer finds a way to yet again quote Alexis de Touqville's "Democracy in America" and the concept of homo solus.Sponsored By:BetterHelp.com: This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp and Catching Foxes listeners get 10% off their first month at betterhelp.com/FOXES Catholic Match: Faith-focused Dating: the largest Catholic dating site in the world—where thousands of Catholics find their spouse.

Ultimately, these mysterious writings are a time machine that can transport us back to the ancient world, deepen our appreciation of Scripture, and strengthen our understanding of the Christian faith. Paul's "Works of the Law" in the Perspective of Second-Century Reception: Thomas, Matthew J., McGrath, Alister E.: 9780830855261: Amazon.com: Books — Matthew J. Thomas examines how Paul's second-century readers understood these points in conflict, how their readings relate to "old" and "new" perspectives, and what their collective witness suggests about the apostle's own meaning. Surprisingly, these early witnesses align closely with the "new" perspective, though their reasoning often differs from both modern viewpoints.Ep. #141 - St. Paul and "Works of the Law" - Classical TheismAmazon.com: After Virtue, Third Edition (Audible Audio Edition): Alasdair MacIntyre, Derek Perkins, Blackstone Audio, Inc.: Books

Luke and I banter for 20 minutes about grad school, Gomer redoing his office, etc. Then we introduce the subject and Gomer cries a lot. The name of the wood is called "Purpleheart" and it is a South American hardwood that is super dense. The wood will turn brown over time after it is milled, so the use of sealants is a must to keep that intensely beautiful purple shade from fading. Also, its density makes it notoriously hard to deal with, as the sap will gum up your table saw blade very quickly, resulting in a lot of burn marks from the blade onto the wood. But no worries, for purpleheart sands down incredibly well. Eternal Rest Eternal rest, grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.Sponsored By:Catholic Match: Faith-focused Dating: the largest Catholic dating site in the world—where thousands of Catholics find their spouse.

How Extroversion in Personality Influences Behavior — In the big 5 theory of personality, extroversion (often known as extraversion) is one of the five core traits believed to make up human personality. Extroversion is characterized by sociability, talkativeness, assertiveness, and excitability. People who are high in extroversion tend to seek out social stimulation and opportunities to engage with others. These individuals are often described as being full of life, energy, and positivity. In group situations, extroverts (extraverts) are likely to talk often and assert themselves.Notre Dame fight song - YouTube — Notre Dame fight song The Nerdist Podcast Eric Bana — The Nerdist Podcast Eric Bana in 1 hour 3 MINS talks with Chris about how he started his career.

Maybe even a bad week or two. But if you can't remember the last good day you've had at work, it might be time to seriously consider quitting.How Netflix Reinvented HR — Sheryl Sandberg has called it one of the most important documents ever to come out of Silicon Valley. It’s been viewed more than 5 million times on the web. But when Reed Hastings and I (along with some colleagues) wrote a PowerPoint deck explaining how we shaped the culture and motivated performance at Netflix, where Hastings is CEO and I was chief talent officer from 1998 to 2012, we had no idea it would go viral. We realized that some of the talent management ideas we’d pioneered, such as the concept that workers should be allowed to take whatever vacation time they feel is appropriate, had been seen as a little crazy (at least until other companies started adopting them). But we were surprised that an unadorned set of 127 slides—no music, no animation—would become so influential. What It Means to Work Here — It’s the HR equivalent of keeping up with the Joneses: In their quest to find and retain top talent, businesses often try to match competitors’ offers, ensuring that their compensation schemes, health care benefits, training programs, and other talent-management practices are in line with the rest of the industry’s. While this strategy may be useful for bringing job candidates to the door, it’s not necessarily the most effective way to usher the right people across the threshold—great employees who will be enthusiastic about their work and fiercely loyal to the organization and its mission.

Three Main Topics: Gomer talks with two youths who experience the lack of reciprocity between faith and the sacraments, Luke explores the Marxist critique of music culture as future-canceling, and Gomer buys a gun, which sets off Luke's red flags. Paragraph 5. Secondly, scientific and technological knowledge, which is so prestigious today, tends to impose itself as a single model in all fields of knowledge and for all kinds of objects. Its radical orientation towards certainty of an empirical and naturalistic type is opposed not only to metaphysical knowledge, but also to knowledge of a symbolic nature. While scientific knowledge emphasizes the capacity of human reason, it does not exhaust all dimensions of reason or knowledge, nor does it cover all cognitive needs for a full human life. Symbolic thinking, with its richness and plasticity, on the one hand, collects and elaborates reflectively the ethical and affective dimensions of experience; and, on the other, touches and transforms the spiritual and cognitive structure of the subject. For this reason, together with all the religious traditions of humanity, the transmission of revelation, with its concomitant cognitive content, is situated in the symbolic sphere, not in the empirical and naturalistic sphere. The sacramental reality of participation in the mystery of grace can only be understood in the unity of this double dimension of the symbolic experience: cognitive and performative. Where the scientistic paradigm reigns, which is blind to symbolic thought, sacramental thought is obstructed.

Here’s your chance to get to know the Angelic Doctor as a person and learn: – What Aquinas was like as a kid, and why his own brothers kidnapped him – What he did when he found a prostitute in his room – How he found the best arguments both for and against his own positions – Some of the fantastic questions he asked that we still ask today, like do dogs go to Heaven? (And I tell you what his answers are) – Why he said you should cry and take hot baths (yes, he said that).
