Logos

Why does the Cross, a symbol of suffering and death, stand at the center of the Catholic faith? In this episode of Logos Podcast, we explore the power of the Cross through Catholic theology and philosophy. From St. Paul's bold claim that “we preach Christ crucified” to the insights of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Anselm to Pope Benedict XVI, we uncover how the Cross reveals the deepest truths about love, justice, sacrifice, and redemption. Whether you're seeking spiritual insight or philosophical depth, this episode will challenge you to see the Cross not as defeat, but as divine wisdom and ultimate victory.Timecode:0:00 - Life update7:00 - Context of the Cross11:00 - The Foolish King21:40 - Death is Life29:10 - Why the Cross?37:05 - The Pattern of the Cross48:00 - Experiences with The Cross52:00 - The Tree of LifeSupport the show

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?

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.

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

In this episode, Logos Podcast dives in the virtue of humility as opposed to its vice of pride. In the spiritual life, pride is the venomous serpent ready to strike. In fact, we often hear Saint warn us against pride and its destructive nature. Indeed, it seems to be engrained in our every action as human beings. Why do we continue to feed it, this ego of ours, even when it's clearly hurting us? Better yet, how do we combat it?

In this episode, Logos discusses the nature of The Christian Church and its relationship to the world. It describes the Church salvific truths as well as affirms the need for the Church, if it is to fulfill Christ's command to teach the nations, to enter and recognize the world as something fundamentally good.Is the world evil? Does the world have anything to offer The Church?Maybe, the best way for The Church to avoid confusion, sin, and struggle is for Her to fall into Herself and build a society that only includes Her members? Yet, Jesus Christ challenges and obliges the Church to teach all of the nations…so…Timecode:0:00 - Introduction4:00 - Our Guest8:20 - What is The Church?19:30 - The Symbols of The Church 23:15 - The Organization of The Church29:45 - Membership of The Church41:00 - Is Christ in the World?44:00 - Is The World Evil?58:00 - The Importance of Dialogue1:09:54 - True Dialogue1:17:50 - Final Notes From GuestSupport the Show.

In this episode, we dive into the need for the liturgy and rituals. St. Paul talks about humanity needing to enter into "logical worship"...what is he talking about?Wait, isn't the Catholic Church just a cult? Those vestments, those middle aged men called "priests", the kneeling and standing, the funky smelling smoke, the weird repetitive prayers all smack of a weird cult; therefore, its pointless.But, is that so? Why do worship God in this way? Isn't the importance of the Christian life to "have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?"

In recent times, we have experienced two major films: 1) Dune: Part Two and 2) 'Cabrini' by Angel Studios. Timothee Chalamat, Zendaya Coleman, John Lithgow, Cristiana Dell'Anna all showed up and showed out. And, while these two films are wildly different, they were similar in that they were promoted to be revolutionary films. Were they? Did they set a new standard for movies? Regarding Cabrini, did it set a new standard for movies about saints? Or, was it a “flop”, a film that, as criticized, promoted feminist propaganda?In this episode, we uncover the significance behind Cabrini - a captivating film with profound insights. To do this, we reflect on some of its quotes, characters, and artistic brilliance. We hope that our insights, in the end, bring you to an appreciation for good cinema, St. Cabrini, and, above all, Jesus Christ.
