Exclusive: The (misguided) pursuit of happiness
About this episode
As I'm away for the summer, I'll be sharing some episodes from my Patreon exclusive feed, which are available to all subscribers at the $5/month level or higher. This was the very first ever exclusive, and I hope you enjoy! Here are the original show notes:
It's finally here! The first Patreon exclusive episode will continue to dig into the theme of optimism and happiness. What place (if any) does it have in Christian theology and Taoist thought? (Hint: I think the answer is none.)
Also, I know I make some very strong statements in this episode. Please know there are lots of things that need to be qualified or further explored. For example, the statement that "God is not concerned with the nations or people's rights" is both true and untrue on many levels. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts!
