Send us Fan Mail Episode Notes:  Socrates Part Two— The Socratic Method — How to Win a Soul, Not an Argument. Welcome to our second step in our four-part journey through the life and legacy of Socrates.   Last time, we met the man himself: the barefoot stonemason who wandered Athens like a holy irritant, waking people up from their moral sleep.

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the life and thinking of Socrates, and this is the moment when everything changes.  Up to now, we’ve wandered through the wild and wonderful world of the Presocratics. Rivers that flow, universes that freeze, cosmic forces that fall in and out of love, atoms dancing in the void, and Sophists who could argue you into believing your own sandals had a life of their own. Bu...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode Seven—the final episode of my journey through the Presocratic world before we step into the classical era.  It's about the birth of atoms. And it is also about the rise of professional arguers and the philosophical chaos that made Socrates necessary. Because by the time we reach the thinkers in today’s episode, the ancient world is buzzing with questions: W...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Notes: Anaximander, Anaximenes, and Pythagoras - From the Breath of Life to the Music of the Spheres. In our last episode, we spent time with Thales, the man who looked at the world and said, “Let’s think about this properly.”  In today’s episode, we meet the three more thinkers who followed in his wake, three men who took his spark of curiosity and fanned it into somethin...

Send us Fan Mail Thales of Miletus was one of the so-called ‘Seven Sages of Greece’. He lived in a thriving Ionian port and was known not only as a thinker but as a gifted astronomer, mathematician, and engineer. But what truly makes Thales the origin story of philosophy is not his practical genius or his comic mishaps. It’s the fact that he sought a single natural principle—the archê—from which e...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Notes: The centre of the Christian faith is not an idea, a philosophy, or a spiritual technique. It is a person. A person with skin and bones. A person who ate, wept, touched, and was touched. A God who  became a person who lived a fully embodied human life.... God did not save us by lifting us out of our humanity. God saved us by entering it. From the opening chapters of...

Send us Fan Mail "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” — Proverbs 16:9 This week, I found myself lingering in the company of a man who lived three centuries before the birth of Christ: Aristotle. This is a special double-length episode in which I explore "A Christian History of Aristotle." It is a long conversation, and one I recorded and offered as ‘...
