We’ve all heard of Stoicism. But do we really know what it means, how to implement in our lives, and whether or not it conflicts with other doctrine we may ascribe to – mainly Christianity.
My guest today, Brady Pesola, and I strive to answer those questions as we discuss the four cardinal virtues of Stoicism – wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. We also unpack what Stoicism really means (and, contrary to popular belief, it is not the suppression of emotions), how philosophy is the “love of wisdom,” why anxiety is not inherently bad, the power in knowing that others are allowed to feel the way they do, and, ultimately, going to bed a better man than you woke up.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
The concept of accountability Accountability with your spouse Anxious vs. avoidant Doing the right thing Stoicism and christianity Put your mind in “reason” Intellectual intent Sometimes we misread situations The importance of context Reason and faith Overcoming the dumb things we say Stoicism and the Bible Listening to the philosophy of others
