The Good Life

from Queen of the Sciences · host Sarah Hinlicky Wilson

How dare anyone say one life is better than another? or the living of a life is wiser than another? Say something and risk legalism; say nothing and risk nihilism; and neither of those lead to a good life, either. In this episode Dad and I compile our sum total of 125 years of living, plus a lot of shortcuts gleaned from reading and talking to other people, to tell you what's worth pursuing, what's worth hurting over, and what's not. What you do with it is up to you! We're in our EIGHTH year of livin' the good life of theological podcasting. You can live your best life now too by backing us on Patreon! Notes: 1.
