Pat talks about the importance of expressing the strength and movement abilities you've been developing in the form of "adult recess"; in other words, play! So often we get caught up in the rigidity of a tightly structured training program. And that's great, because that's how we make progress. But we also need to take the time to use and enjoy the abilities we've developed. This is why we need to take opportunities to improvise with our movement, to get into flows, and just have fun exploring and expressing different patterns and drills. Such activity is not only fun, but burns calories and boost endorphins. Pat shares some ideas on how to get started with this, and why play--separate and distinct from exercise--is such an important part of healthy living.

It's philosophy week on The Pat Flynn Show, and today we're looking at a classic argument that attempts to answer the question: Why is there something rather than nothing? (If you enjoyed the episode with Dr. Josh Rasmussen or Dr. Delfino, then you are going to equally enjoy this!) This argument has deep roots, and has been developed and presented in many forms over the centuries as evidence for God by thinkers ranging from Thomas Aquinas to Gottfried Wilhelm Libneiz and many more. Today, I'm joined by Cameron Bertuzzi of Capturing Christianity to hear his presentation and defense of the argument--what it is, and what we can learn from it.

Pat talks about two very important fitness philosophies: Generalism, or being better than most people, at most things, even if you aren't the best at any one; and minimalism, which is doing the least you need to reach the goal at hand. Generalism teaches that hard-core specialization is not only a waste of time for the majority of people, but may even lead to serious, negative consequences. Better in almost every instance to focus on maximizing general physical preparedness, over specific physical preparedness. Minimalism, on the other hand, gets you to focus on pulling all the unnecessary clutter out of your fitness program; to marry effectiveness (doing the right things) to efficiency (doing things right) in all things. These are the informing philosophies and principles of Strong ON!, and the better you know them, the more clarity you'll have on not only what goals make sense, but also how to get there.

Can you know of God through reason alone? What can philosophy tell us about God's existence and nature? Dr. Robert Delfino joins me to a deep and interesting philosophical conversation about how the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas and his famous "5 ways" can help us to form a better understanding of the divine. About Dr. Robert Delfino Robert A. Delfino is Associate Professor of Philosophy at St. John's University in New York City. He received his Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo, where he specialized in metaphysics, medieval philosophy, and Thomas Aquinas, studying under Professor Jorge J. E. Gracia. His current research interests include metaphysics, ethics, and the relationship between science, philosophy, and religion. He has published articles on Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Husserl, philosophy of science, personal identity, and human rights, in various countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy, Russia, Poland, and India. He has presented papers at the University of Oxford, in the United Kingdom, the Comillas Pontifical University in Madrid, Spain, and the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, in Poland. He is a fellow of the Adler-Aquinas Institute, a member of the Board of Advisors for the International Etienne Gilson Society. Show Notes and Resources I can't recommend Dr. Delfino's book enough: Does God Exist: A Socratic Dialogue on the Five Ways of Thomas Aquinas This is a thorough and accessible read for anybody who's interested in the relationship between faith and reason.
