    001 // How "play" can change your life (with guest Jesse Chambers)

    In this episode, I sat down with Jesse Chambers of WildGrowth to talk about an essay he wrote on how "play" is the key to living a full and meaningful life.  "Aquinas, Plato, and Ecclesiastes link play to a virtuous, joyful life, suggesting life itself is the ultimate game. Play is a ritualistic act, akin to religious practice, that fosters pure understanding and moral living."
