Description

In this thought-provoking episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron engage in a deep theological and philosophical conversation exploring one of the most pressing questions of our time: What is the good life? As Christians navigating a culture marked by meaninglessness, hyper-individualism, and spiritual confusion, they examine how ancient wisdom—from Solomon to Marcus Aurelius—intersects with modern challenges like social isolation, gym culture, and the back-to-the-land movement. With references to Stoicism, Pierre Hadot, Paul’s letter to the Philippians, and the failures of secular philosophy to offer purpose, this episode invites believers into a rich, gospel-centered reflection on virtue, identity, and true human flourishing. If you're a Christian hungry for meaningful cultural engagement and deep theological discussion.
