Sunday School EP 8: What We Can Learn from the Prayer Life of Jesus
Shane Kapler, who runs ExplainingChristianity.com, joins me to talk about what we can learn from the prayer life of Jesus (and how to make it our own.). I was very happy to have Shane join me for this discussion; he not only brought my attention to details of Jesus's prayer that I was previously unaware of, but offered specific insights on how to incorporate prayer throughout the day--"prayer snacks", as we call them--as a regular form of spiritual exercise. Much of this discussion is based off the work found in Shane's book Through Him, With Him, and In Him: The Prayer Life of Jesus and How to Make It Your Own Please take 1 minute to subscribe and review The Pat Flynn Show on itunes! https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pat-flynn-show/id1253261458

Sunday School EP 7: Can You Be Good Without God?
Right and wrong, good and bad; where do these ideas come from? Why is it that we have a moral conscience to begin with, and feel some things are really just and others absolutely evil? Is morality merely the byproduct of sociobiological conditioning, or is it a clue to something more? In this episode, Pat Flynn explores the nature of morality, to see what--if anything--it can tell us about God.

Sunday School EP 6: On The Meaning of Life with Dr. Kevin Vost
Psychologist and philosopher Dr. Kevin Vost joins Pat Flynn to talk about, well, the meaning of life, of course! "Long before my time, philosophers spoke of wonder and wisdom, and we were told that above all else we should love God with all that we are and love our neighbors as we love ourselves. At the end of the day (or of the life, to be precise), I don't think a person has to accomplish great things on a vast scale to live a most meaningful life. I think what matters most is that we make the most of the abilities and opportunities that have been given to us, and help others to do the same. This is the stuff not of riches or fame, but of growing, caring, and nurturing, of study, friendship, and family. These can supply plenty of meaning, purpose, and happiness. And if, when our life on this earth has ended, even one person can think of us, smile, and be thankful we were here, that is all for the better." https://excellencereporter.com/2018/05/09/dr-kevin-vost-the-meaning-of-life-and-the-virtuous-keys
