We're experimenting here at Geeky Stoics. Both Stephen and I have really missed the long-form podcast and discussion format, going back to my original podcasting days at the Star Wars Report and Stephen's at Beltway Banthas. I'm so glad we get to introduce this format here on Substack, featuring a very special guest: Master Samwise.Samwise has a YouTube channel not dissimiliar from our own, where he's built a community of people passionate about going a layer deeper on stories like Star Wars, LOTR and even Red Dead Redemption. He takes this as seriously as we do. This episode is really about why modern storytelling needs more heart and less ulterior motives.Sam drops some truth bombs including why great stories aren't about the catharsis of the creator; they're about characters who choose service over themselves. Being a hero starts at home. Sam's take on heroism 101* Know when to say "yes" when you want to say "no"* Virtues are universalWe also nerd out on: * Obi-Wan* Avatar: The Last Airbender* Band of Brothers* Pixar's Turning Red* Clare: Obscure Expedition 33MTFBWY!-Riley This is a public episode.

In Episode 318 of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we explore the enduring appeal - and potential pitfalls - of Stoicism in today's world. While its core virtues of courage, temperance, wisdom, and justice offer a resilient framework for navigating life's challenges, misapplying Stoic techniques can lead to emotional suppression, social withdrawal, or an unhealthy reliance on self-control. Join us as we reflect on the deeper purpose behind Stoic practices like negative visualization and journaling, ask how they've helped (or hurt) in real-life situations, and consider how to strike a healthy balance between emotional awareness and rational virtue. Tune in to see Stoicism Through a Therapist's Eyes.

“Self-fulfilling prophecies are real things. It's not going to happen for the person who says it's not going to happen. But if you convince yourself that you're going to make this happen, you'll achieve whatever it is. Your brain will look for ways to prove you right.” —Amy Chambers The difference between who you are and who you want to be begins with a single moment of radical self-belief. And that moment often arrives not when you feel strongest, but when you're most vulnerable—when you're willing to admit you don't have all the answers and are ready to embrace the discomfort of growth. Amy Chambers is a transformational coach, author, and ultra-marathon runner who pivoted from a 21-year career in financial services to walk the path of personal development. With two bestselling books on leadership and personal growth, she's dedicated her life to helping individuals break through mental barriers and create extraordinary lives.Tune in as Heather and Amy explore how embracing discomfort, challenging limiting beliefs, and taking radical responsibility can transform your career, relationships, and inner landscape, as well as the power of personal accountability, leadership strategies, and the transformative journey of self-discovery. Connect with Heather: WebsiteFacebook InstagramLinkedInEpisode Highlights:01:06 From Finance to Coaching05:51 Leadership Decoded: 7 Virtues of Exceptional Leaders 08:37 Leadership Beyond Titles14:10 The Ownership Principle19:01 Rock Bottom Transformation25:47 Authoring Change33:42 The Ultimate Life Hack: Self-BeliefResources:Books

In this message, Jim Osman continues his exposition on eight fruitful virtues from 2 Peter 1:5-7. Focusing on perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love, he explains how growth in these areas requires effort and the grace of God. Osman emphasizes the necessity of practicing the eight fruitful virtues with intentionality, highlighting that Christian maturity and usefulness are deeply rooted in these qualities. ★ Support this podcast ★

The messaged was preached in GCCC London

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's short address "Designing Our Descendants: Seven Traits for the Future", a presentation to the 1978 general meeting at the Hastings Center. MacIntyre first discusses how intentionally designing descendants is a matter that has political dimensions, then sets out seven key traits that he thinks are most needed, and concludes with projections of what the lives of people in a society where these traits are widespread would look like. The seven traits in a "new table of virtues" MacIntyre identifies and discusses are: Ability to live with uncertainty (and an unpredictable environment) Roots in particularity (a capacity for finding a particular and local way of being a home in the world) A commitment to non-manipulative modes of relationship with people and nature Finding a vocation in one's work (an ability to find a work that is peculiarly our own to do in the world) Accepting one's death (recognition that there will come a time when one's life is complete) Hope (a spirit of hope for which there cannot be adequate empirical grounds) Willingness to take up arms (to go to war and to acquire the skill necessary to win a war) To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler You can get MacIntyre's After Virtue here - amzn.to/2RiplGT

• Started with the virtues of ʿAbdullāh Ibn Masʿūd (رضي الله عنه) • Covered the narration of Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī and Ibn Masʿūd: — “How many people intend good but never reach it” • Highlighted evidence from the Qur'ān and Sunnah showing the completeness of the religion — no need for additions “This day I have perfected for you your religion…” (Sūrah al-Mā'idah 5:3)' • Virtues of the Khulafā' al-Rāshidīn (the four rightly guided caliphs) • Importance of clinging to the understanding of the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥīn • Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr on the verse: — “This is My straight path, so follow it” (al-Anʿām 6:153) • Hadith of the 73 sects and its variations and its different chains - Linked with Ibn Masʿūd's narration: “The Jamāʿah is what conforms with the truth, even if you are alone” • Danger of bid'ah (innovation) and how it is more severe than committing major sins - to the exent that the Prophet ﷺ warned against it even before it appeared. • The importance of Tawheed and the precise wording found in the sunnah and the Quran. Example, Surah Maryam ayah 65 "Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, so worship Him (Alone) and be constant and patient in His worship. Do you know of any who is similar to Him?" • How this verse beautifully encompasses all three categories of Tawḥīd: 1. Tawḥīd al-Rubūbiyyah – “Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them…” 2. Tawḥīd al-Ulūhiyyah – “so worship Him (Alone)…” 3. Tawḥīd al-Asmā' wa'l-Ṣifāt – “Do you know of any who is similar to Him?” (denial of likeness to His names or attributes) • Shaykh ʿAbdullāh Lahmāmī (ḥafiẓahullāh) concluded the lesson by mentioning 20 characteristics that distinguish the people of Sunnah from the groups of misguidance.

“Virtue” sounds like such an old-fashioned term, and yet it's more relevant and necessary than ever. In a hopeful, inspiring conversation, Marian Press author Patrick O'Hearn explains how virtue remains in the core of the Christian life, and demonstrates that the saints want to help us develop the virtues of a Christian, even in this incredibly challenging modern world.

 What if the traits you've been taught to suppress your entire career are actually the very qualities that separate those who get what they want from those who stay stuck waiting for recognition that never comes?Today on the show, Jenny Wood argues that most of us are living in what she calls “an invisible cage” created by an overabundance of caution, and that the biggest lie you've been told in your career is to keep your head down and let your work speak for itself.Jenny is a former Google executive who developed a career development program used by 56,000 people in nearly 100 countries, and she's the author of Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It. In our conversation, Jenny explains how traits that have a negative rap can be used for positive ends that will advance your career. We discuss how being shameless, reckless, nosy, manipulative, obsessed, and more can help you overcome your success-hindering fears, take bolder action, and achieve your goals.Calm the chaos of order fulfillment with the shipping software that delivers.

To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. - Isaiah 8:20 (NKJV)

In this episode of I Thought You'd Like to Know This, Too, ITEST presents a webinarentitled  "Bioethics & AI as Human Flourishing: Where Catholic & Orthodox Social Teaching meet in One Christian Social Ethos" (June 14, 2025)Dr. Constantine PsimopoulosBIOETHICS AND AI AS HUMAN FLOURISHING: WHERE CATHOLICS AND ORTHODOX MEET IN ONE CHRISTIAN SOCIAL ETHOSConstantine Psimopoulos is a Professor (Adj.) of Bioethics at Hellenic College Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, teaching Christian Ethics and Social Ministries and is on the faculty at Harvard's Initiative on Health, Spirituality and Religion, of which he is also Senior Program Administrator, and the Human Flourishing program. He has another Academic research appointment in Global Health and Social Medicine and the Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School. At Harvard, he co-teaches the course Religion and Public Health and a new required module taught to all MD/PhD students. Constantine serves as the Director of the Division of Bioethics of the Orthodox Academy of Crete (Ecumenical Patriarchate), and as an Invited Member to the Inaugural National Committee on AI – Artificial Intelligence (and Theology) of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.AbstractThis presentation draws a comparison between Catholic social teaching and the Social ethos of the Orthodox church. Both traditions have some parallels in the way they approach AI, from a bioethical perspective that addresses social justice. The document ‘For the Life of the World' (F.L.O.W.) of our Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, emphasizes that science and technology are a wonderful product of a God-given human creativity, and that “the desire for scientific knowledge flows from the same wellspring as faith's longing to enter ever more deeply into the mystery of God.” It is an imperative to use AI for Human Flourishing. From a Christian bioethical lens, science and technology, and in particular Artificial Intelligence (AI), can serve as one concrete example of how this can be addressed.Fr. Michael Baggot, LCProgramming with Purpose: Guiding AI through Catholic Social TeachingFr. Michael Baggot is Legionary of Christ, an Associate Professor of Bioethics at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum, and an Invited Professor of Theology at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum) and the Catholic Institute of Technology (CatholicTech). He also serves as a professor for the Joint Diploma in Leadership: Service through Virtues and the Catholic Worldview Fellowship summer program. In addition, Fr. Michael is a Research Scholar at the UNESCO Chair in Bioethics and Human Rights and a member of the Scholarly Advisory Board for Magisterium AI. He is also a fellow of the Fr. James L. Heft, SM Generations in Dialogue program at the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at the University of Southern California.AbstractAs an expert in humanity, the Catholic Church is deeply interested in the AI technologies that are shaping family life, education, medicine, religious practice, and other key aspects of social life. The presentation draws on the social doctrine of the Catholic Church to highlight the virtues and social structures most conducive to using AI tools to promote human flourishing. It gives special attention to the influence of AI companion systems on the loneliness epidemic and the quest for social connections. The conference also examines the significance of ecumenical dialogue, interreligious dialogue, and dialogue with secular traditions in addressing the perennial philosophical questions that emerging technologies raise.Bioethics and AI as Human Flourishing: Where Catholic and Orthodox Social Teaching meet in One Christian Social Ethos - Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Ever feel like you're giving your all to work, relationships, and personal goals, but treating your spiritual life like an afterthought?

As a former trial attorney who specialized in breaking down complicated concepts for juries, he now applies that same clarity to the spiritual journey – particularly focusing on confession and the Mass as the "one-two punch" of authentic faith.The conversation tackles a profound question: Why do we accept that every other area of life requires consistent effort – from weightlifting to career advancement – yet expect our souls to flourish without similar investment? Purchase "Prayers" For Catholic Men by Mike Pacer Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgJacks Latest Blog Young Men United in the Eucharist: Heroically Rebuilding the Three Necessary SocietiesFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalSubscribe to our Newly Resurrected YouTube Channel!Sign up for our Newsletter: https://jp2renew.org/Support the show

The Bushido Code: 8 Virtues of the Samurai WayThe Bushidō code was the unwritten moral code of the samurai—a warrior philosophy built on honor, loyalty, courage, self-control, and respect. In this cinematic and powerful reflection, we explore the 8 virtues of Bushidō: rectitude (justice), courage, benevolence (compassion), respect, honesty, honor, loyalty, and self-discipline.More than just a relic of feudal Japan, Bushidō offers timeless wisdom for facing modern life with integrity, discipline, and inner strength. These values helped the samurai remain calm in battle, selfless in service, and fearless in the face of death.Bushidō is not just for warriors—it's a philosophy for life.

In 1858, six-year-old Edgardo Mortara is forcibly removed from his family's home in accordance with civil and canon law. His Jewish family's legal appeal invokes, to great effect, the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas. Dr. Matthew Tapie and former Heights teacher Dr. Lionel Yaceczko join us this week to pull apart this difficult case with the assistance of St. Thomas, who gives a theological basis for parental authority in accordance with natural law—a useful perspective for our culture today.

If America is to stay free, then citizens must be virtuous. But what does that mean? Too often, virtue is a word that's mistakenly used as a synonym for principle or idea or value. And if people can't even agree on its definition, then how can we instill it as a need in the minds of Americans? David Hein, author of "Teaching the Virtues," discusses.

We are created in the image of God, carrying His divine nature (Gen. 1:26-28). To do exploits, we must add godly virtues to our faith (2 Peter 1:1-5). Obedience is key to unlocking the resources already provided for us (Ps. 68:19). Putting on the new man aligns us with God's purpose (Eph. 4:17-24).

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Virtues Bright & Neither Dark nor Bright"

In this episode, Michael Tremblay and Caleb Ontiveros explore Aristotle's ethics, focusing on his doctrine of virtue as the golden mean. They break down how Aristotle's view differs from Stoicism—from his three-part soul to his idea that virtues are skills developed through practice. Learn why Aristotle saw courage as a balance between cowardice and rashness, why feeling the right emotions matters as much as doing the right thing, and how this ancient framework applies to modern life.The conversation unpacks key concepts from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics: habituation, the role of pleasure in virtue, and why context matters in ethical decisions.(08:29) Aristotelian Happiness(10:47) Parts of the Soul(12:44) The Kinds of Virtues(14:04) Virtue as Skill(18:39) Habituation(19:42) The Golden Mean(26:07) Good Reason For Bad Feelings(28:24) Meaning of Virtue(31:37) Self-Reinforcing Virtue(35:31) What the Golden Mean Means(45:02) Key Ideas For Practice(48:03) Differences with Stoicism*** Subscribe to The Stoa Letter for weekly meditations, actions, and links to the best Stoic resources: www.stoaletter.com/subscribeDownload the Stoa app (it's a free download): https://stoameditation.com/podIf you try the Stoa app and find it useful, but truly cannot afford it, email us and we'll set you up with a free account.Listen to more episodes and learn more here: https://stoameditation.com/blog/stoa-conversations/Check out our Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@stoaphilosophyThanks to Michael Levy for graciously letting us use his music in the conversations: https://ancientlyre.com/

We've heard it before: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But what did the Founders mean by “the pursuit of happiness,” and how do virtue and moral philosophy shape our understanding of this unalienable right? Sharon is joined by Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center, to explore these questions, as well as to dive deeper into the history and meaning of the pursuit of life-long virtue. Learn how six of the Framers and Founders – flaws and all – embody different virtues, and consider the importance of electing leaders who will be virtuous and uphold the principles of Democracy.

You can't be moral on your own. That's a radical idea in this time of moral outrage, but thriving in public life requires a sense of mutual accountability, belonging, and hospitality for each other.Mona Siddiqui is a professor of religion and society, an author, commentator, and public intellectual, and she suggests that the virtues of loyalty, gratitude, hospitality, and hope can lead us through the common struggle of being human together, living forward into a thriving life of public faith and renewed moral imagination.As Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies, Assistant Principal for Religion and Society, and Dean international for the Middle-East at the University of Edinburgh, she is an international beacon of hope that we might find restoration, hospitality, and flourishing in our world of struggle. Working through questions of loyalty, responsibility, belonging, gratitude, robust faith, and what we owe each other, we can find abundant resources for thriving and spiritual health.In this conversation with Mona Siddiqui, we discuss:What is a moral life?The connection between faith, spirituality, and living a moral life of responsibility and integrityThe difference between cultivating virtuous character and doing justiceHow to thrive in a pluralistic society marked by constant struggle and conflictThe promise of gratitude and hospitality in a life of thrivingAnd how to pursue a hopeful, forward-looking approach to restoration in the wake of harm, loss, pain, and suffering.Episode Highlights"Our moral life only becomes alive when we are in a relationship—you can't be moral on your own.""Life is all about searching. Life is all about introspection. Life is all about reflection.""The good life is hard; it's not about ease, but about living with accountability and responsibility.""Hospitality isn't just welcoming—it's negotiating belonging, loyalty, and a sense of shared life.""Gratitude can liberate, but it can also create hierarchies and transactional indebtedness.""Hope is not naive optimism—without hope, how do you live, build relationships, or carry forward at all?"Helpful Links and ResourcesFollow Mona on X (Twitter) at @monasiddiqui7*Christians, Muslims, and Jesus,* by Mona SiddiquiHuman Struggle, Christian and Muslim Perspectives, by Mona SiddiquiA Theology of Gratitude: Christian and Muslim Perspectives, by Mona SiddiquiMy Way: A Muslim Woman's Journey by Mona SiddiquiThe Moral Maze, BBC Radio 4Show NotesMona Siddiqui's personal background in Islamic jurisprudence and public theology“I got into Islamic jurisprudence because of personal connection and intellectual curiosity.”Navigating public discourse post-9/11 as a non-white, non-Christian scholarImportance of pluralism and living within diverse identities"I need to create a space that appeals to a wider audience—not just about what I think."Growing up with intellectual freedom in a traditional Islamic householdHow faith upbringing seeds lifelong moral introspection"You are always answering to yourself—you know when you have not lived rightly."Developing comparative theology through seminars with Christian scholarsOverlapping themes between Islamic and Christian thought on the good lifeThe significance of accountability over blanket forgiveness"Belonging is crucial to being a good citizen—you can't flourish alone."Exploration of loyalty: loyalty to people vs loyalty to principlesCivic loyalty and critical engagement with the state“Because I feel loyal to my country, I should also be its critic.”The role of prayer in cultivating internal moral awarenessReflection on virtues: gratitude, loyalty, hopeThe dark sides of gratitude and loyalty in institutionsParenting with a focus on integrity, accountability, and faithfulness“Live so that whatever you say in public, you can say at home—and vice versa.”Emphasis on public engagement: speaking clearly, making complex ideas accessible"Radio became a gift—people want complex ideas made simple and meaningful."Remaining hopeful despite the culture of outrage and cynicismYoung people's resilience and persistent hopefulnessHospitality as a fundamental ethic for creating trust and belongingStruggle as a normative, transformative experience that shapes flourishing"Thriving is not just freedom—it's centering, writing, speaking, and deep human connection."The importance of relationships in thriving and flourishing“Most of us realize—relationships are the hardest, but the most rewarding.”Redefining gratitude: avoiding transactional gratitude, cultivating authentic gratefulnessStruggle cultivates introspection, resilience, creativity, and a deeper moral lifePam King's Key TakeawaysI can't be moral on my own. But my decisions are my own. In the end, living with integrity means living with virtue.Personal and public flourishing are deeply connected to our lives of faith and spirituality; and all of us need to bring the depths of our personal spiritual commitments into public life.We can offer hope and freedom from fear to each other when we expand our hospitality to all persons.The practice of gratitude in the face of our vulnerability is easier said than done—but is a strengthening response to uncertainty and suffering.And finally, human struggle is something we hold in common, and it can be redeemed for creativity, beauty, healing restoration, and a reminder of our dignity as human creatures.About Mona SiddiquiMona Siddiqui is Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies, Assistant Principal for Religion and Society, and Dean international for the Middle-East at the University of Edinburgh.Her research areas are primarily in the field of Islamic jurisprudence and ethics and Christian-Muslim relations.
