85 - Vice & Virtue: Ridge Without the Ruckus

In this solo episode of The Barn Philosopher, Ridge takes the mic alone to explore one of Shelby’s favorite subjects: the seven deadly sins. With Shelby away (and probably being ironically envious.), Ridge breaks down the classic vices—pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth—and offers reflections on how they show up in daily life. But it doesn’t stop there. Ridge also turns the conversation toward the antidotes: the seven heavenly virtues—humility, charity, patience, kindness, chastity, temperance, and diligence. With thoughtful insights, some dry humor, and the peaceful absence of Shelby’s emotional interruptions, this might just be one of Ridge’s best solo turns yet.
