Today, Logos brings on Dr. Ashley Fernandes to discuss contemporary medical practice and its approach to a person who is suffering and dying. Dr. Fernandes is uniquely positioned to discuss this topic as he has a background in philosophy and medicine - stemming from the classroom to the bedside.
Thus, he brings a wholistic and unique perspective to some of man's deepest questions: what is the value of the person? does life matter? should suffering be avoided at all costs?
These questions and more we discuss on this episode. But for now, pray for Dr. Fernandes and all of those in the medical field fighting for the roots and value of Christian anthropology.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!

Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, Chris Messina, Chris Tucker, and Viola Davis. All in one movie? What could it be? Well, a movie about a shoe. But a shoe attached to a person.
Michael Jordan, you know the name? If you don't, it says more about you than him.
Recently, Ben Affleck directed the movie Air which is a biographical sports drama of the shoe "Air Jordan" produced by Nike in the the late 1980's. Why make a movie about a shoe? Well, as the adage in the movie goes, "a shoe is a shoe until someone steps into it." Indeed, Michael Jordan is no ordinary man. He changed the game of basketball and the athletic demand at large.
Guys, we hope you enjoy this review/analysis of the movie as we take a deeper dive into some of its insightful themes and our assessment of them.

The Heart - Pride Month, Love, and The Sacred Heart

#pride #heart #love #sacred #lgbt #lgbtq #life #happy #satisfying #satisfyingvideo #june #catholic #christianity #dodgers #losangeles #podcast #motivation #god #lifestyle #philosophy #psychology #passion #emotions #emotional #truth #loveislove
In this episode, Logos assess what "the heart" is and its relationship to the popular Catholic June devotion known as: The Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ. With all of the talk of "pride month", we thought it fitting to talk about love, the passion, and the heart, and how to reclaim the culture we cannot rely on ourselves. In order to be purified and happy, we must turn to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ that experiences and loves perfectly.
