Men without Chests: Rediscovering the Heart of Virtue

I would love to hear from you!As we navigate a world teeming with knowledge but starved of passion, the Cross and  Cup Podcast invites you on a transformative exploration of what it truly means to cherish virtue. Drawing inspiration from CS Lewis's "The Abolition of Man," we tackle the crisis of "men without chests" – individuals who recognize but fail to love goodness – and how this reflects a broader spiritual void. The discussion delves into the biblical perspective of the heart as the nexus of our deepest desires and affections, emphasizing the critical need for our hearts to resonate with God's love. This illuminating episode promises to reveal not just the importance of intellectual assent to virtue but the profound joy and necessity of embracing it wholeheartedly.Venturing beyond mere acknowledgment, we outline actionable steps to cultivate a genuine love for goodness that defines and directs our lives. Together, we'll explore practices such as prayer, immersion in scripture, and the pursuit of virtuous community and role models. These disciplines promise to guide your heart toward the pure love of what is good, as exemplified by Christ's transformative love. Join us for a heartfelt conversation that aspires to inspire and equip you to live a life that is not just informed by virtue but impassioned by it – a life that mirrors the very heart of God.
