Death is a reality we all have to confront. Often, it can be a very hard and ugly thing.Naturally, we all have an apprehension to it since we are made for life. We defend this reality by promoting the procreation of children, by promoting things like marriage, by promoting traffic laws and speed limits, by promoting medicine, and the sorts.But, what happens when we simply reject it? What happens when we become insensitive to the fact of death? Does our culture allow for us to consider it?Timecode:0:00 - Life Update5:00 - Death is real6:50 - The Insensitive to Death11:00 - The Contemplation of Death18:20 - Death in History25:15 - Death in The Old Testament 31:20 - The Christian Idea of Death38:00 - Death and Redemption45:50 - Baptism and Life 49:30 - Life is DeathSupport the show

We are all fractured, in some way. Sometimes its our own fault, other times it is not, but we all lack interior integration. On top of this, many have resorted to pornography to compensate and help them cope with an already growing disintegration. How do we get out of this hole? Is brute force the way?On this episode, Dr. Malinoski, a clinical psychologist, contributor to FOCUS, hosted on the Chris Stefanick Catholic Show, and co-founder of Interior Integration, helps lay out a proper anthropological vision of who man is and who he is called to be. In doing so, he gives us a pathway to understand our need for interior integration and  how to move towards it. Timecode:0:00 - Introduction 3:00 - Dr. Peter Malinoski6:00 - What is Interior Integration?13:40 - Anthropology and Psychology21:00 - Grace Perfects Nature28:00 - The Crisis of Pornography 32:00 - Pornography as Symptom 37:40 - The Unconscious of Pornography 41:00 - Women and Pornography 43:00 - We Are Scared of Love54:30 - To Be Childlike58:00 - Vulnerability and Integration 1:05:45 - Practical Steps To Fight Addiction 1:12:00 - God Does Not Reject YouResources mentioned by Dr. Peter Malinoski:- Podcast Title: Interior Integration for Catholics- Specific episode mentioned: Episode 114 - “Lifting Sexual Burdens: An IFS Demonstration with Drew Boa”- Website for help with IFS method: soulsandhearts.com/toc - Resource for trusted therapists: soulsandhearts.com/therapists - Book: “Litany of The Heart” by Dr. CreteSupport the show

Rick Rubin and Cole Bennett, two cultural giants of our time. Rick Rubin has helped produce music for artists like: Run DMC, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aerosmith, Johnny Cash, LL Cool J, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Adele, Kesha, Lady Gaga, and the Avett Brothers. His experience takes him beyond classic music production genres. Beyond this, he wrote a book that became an instant hit and lead him to go on Joe Rogan to promote it and dissect it, namely "The Creative Act." Similarly, Cole Bennett has helped artists like: Lil Pump, Mask the Slump God, Lil Xan, Juice World, J. Cole, Eminem, Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Jack Harlow, and Dr. Dre. Why the lists? Well, this shows you the scope of their cultural influence. Both Rick, as a music producer, and Cole, as a music video producer, have helped infuse our world with a particular vision of reality and value structure. The question for us is: is the Logos present in what they have to say? We argue, yes. Not only that, we find it an obligation to find where Jesus Christ is in their conversation and bring Him out. Here are our insights about this conversation!Link to conversation between Rick Rubin and Cole Bennett: https://youtu.be/alGJiFYbHu4?si=8C-PlrdIYGuXK_xNTimecode:0:00 - Intro5:30 - Rick Rubin7:40 - Cole Bennett9:10 - The Human Search For Truth17:30 - The Source26:40 - Providence and Gratitude32:35 - What is Love?42:10 - Suffering and ExistenceSupport the show

Why are humans so bad at navigating the relationship between work and leisure?We all want that relation to be integrated and ordered. In fact, we all know that our recreation should infuse our work and vise versa. Yet, we are either attached to our work or deem it a mere drudgery. Why? Is there a way back to a more whole, integrated living?In this episode, we deal with these and more questions with Matt Hylom.Support the show
