On this episode, we have something different and exciting! We have officially began a new chapter on Logos; We now have guests on! Our first guest is Fr. Peter Totleben O.P. Not only is he a former professor of ours, and one of our favorites, but he is currently working on his doctorate degree in Rome, Italy and was recently on "Pints with Aquinas" as hosted by Matt Fradd. But, what is more fascinating is his priesthood. This episode is one of a series that will focus on the different types of "priesthoods" within The Church. As a Dominican priest, he talks about his charisms and his vocation as both a religious and a priest. Please, everyone welcome Fr. Peter Totleben! Enjoy!Support the show

On this episode, we discuss the soul (De anima): What it is, some of its functions, and why every single person is inherently endowed with dignity. We refer to the works of, in case you haven't figured it out the trend yet, Plato, Aristotle, and St. Thomas Aquinas to give us a more coherent understanding of such a topic. Also, pray for Joey's speedily recovery as he just had surgery on his knee. Thank you all for tuning. God bless!Support the show

On this episode, we have a talk given by Max to an audience on the art of leisure as illustrate by Josef Pieper, a german philosopher of the early 20th century. It may seem irrelevant; however, it is not only a lost art, but densely related to a lot of the current issues we see today, namely a lack of reverence for the goodness of the present existence. This talk also is a complimentary talk to his Acedia talk on episode 21 so if you want to get the latus contra ("flip side") of the coin, refer back to that presentation!Do not forget to follow us on instagram @ logos.pod, email us at logospod1@gmail.com, or follow us on our website at logos-pod.com!

We begin with Joey taking us back to a day that would change his life forever, the day he missed a "water bottle flip" as he attempted to display his talent before hundred's of people.

Better yet, the substance of this episode consists of a general outlook on prayer, our experiences in prayers, and misconceptions of prayer.

On this episode, the Logos team comments on the popular film series directed by John Krasinski titled “A Quiet Place.” We attempt to shed light on themes we find interesting. In a time where non-existence, death seemed the convenient option, why did the Abbot parents give their lives up for their kids? How can one live an ordinary life in a world that seems so abnormal? Obedience, is it important? Why and how did a silent film receive such high ratings and become so popular? Check out our episode to find out! Support the show

(On Max's behalf, excuse the lack of sound quality for he was having microphone issues so he had to use his laptop microphone which....well...sucks. Anyways, read on!)On this episode, we discuss Sam and Joey visit to the Zoo where classic dilemma arose, namely would a grizzly bear or silver back gorilla win in a fight?On a more serious note, we discuss the development of Scripture, the relationship between Scripture and Tradition, the distinction between T-tradition and t-traditions, and why the Church rejects Sola Scriptura. Why is Tradition necessary? Is scripture not a living word? If so, what does that mean? Did the Catholic Church remove books from the bible? Tune in to find out. Support the show

On this episode, we bring something a little different. Instead of having a dialectical mannered conversation into a topic, we bring to you a lecture that Max gave to a group of people at the church where he is currently stationed. The talk is on Acedia, Sloth. Abbot Jean-Charles Nault calls it "the untamed evil of our time" and Pope Francis compares it to a drug addiction. But what is it? Tune into this episode to find out. FYI: Although the information is well researched both in anticipation for this talk and for independent research that took place a year ago, the speaking in public portion is new to us; nevertheless, enjoy and God bless!Support the show
