Bishop Scott McCaig, CC is back to share what he sees happening on a heart-level in our culture today. If we want to truly live the way of the heart, we have to understand the culture we’re living in instead of burying our heads in the sand. Then, we must engage there from a place of love. Join us for an enlightening conversation that closes with a challenge and a dose of hope.    Guiding Quote: Faith and Reason are like two wings of the human spirit by which it soars to the truth. - St. John Paul II     Key Points We’re living in the age of voluntarism, where everything originates from the will The shift from Christendom to Enlightenment in the 1700s changed how we saw the origin of truth We have moved past the Age of Reason to the Age of the Will (Voluntarism) which leans heavily on our feelings rather than looking to Divine inspiration Jake shares the analogy of the Matrix to illustrate our reality Why advocacy is the primary virtue that our culture seems to value Discussion turns towards women’s sports and how objective reality makes itself known The men tackle the question, “What’s the way of the heart in the midst of a culture of voluntarism?”   Discussion Questions What stood out to you in this episode? Do you feel that you have a good grasp of the culture we are living in? Do you find yourself desiring not to engage with the culture? What do you think of Jake’s analogy of the Matrix? How can you live the way of the heart with this newfound understanding of voluntarism?   Resources Philosophy of Voluntarism The Matrix (movie) Bishop Scott on Twitter   Connect with Way of the Heart: Facebook: @wayoftheheartpodcast Instagram: @wayoftheheartpodcast Website: www.wayoftheheartpodcast.com   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!
