Ep. 130: I sit down with @prof_tom_ward to discuss Boethius’ magnum opus and Dr. Ward’s latest book, After Stoicism.
Dr. Ward and I examine what Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy can tell us about how to approach life in the midst of suffering.

@JBSBurkusMax@JamesBryantWX Post 2020, My daughter interviewed Barry on her podcast (Aiming for the Moon) about his book "The Great Influenza," and he mentioned this book because she was in Arkansas. Interesting historian!
@MorganRapp@JeremyTate41@the_culturist_ The Horse and His Boy is one of my favorites! The invisible hand of Aslan orchestrating what seemed like hardship and suffering, but when viewed through Aslan's eyes were all for the boy's and the kingdom's good in the end. Nothing is more beautiful & deeply moving in this world
At elite colleges like Columbia, many students are showing up unprepared to read full books. It’s not that they don’t want to, @rosehorowitch writes. Middle and high schools have stopped teaching them how: https://t.co/mC5JpaC15M
My hero hubs @ghbledsoe finished his 5th 12 hour night shift in a row in a very busy emergency department. His commute is over 1 1/2 hours away so he has stayed at a hotel close to the hospital to sleep during the day this week. Kids are off school and home for the holidays, so
take care of our communities in our most critical moments — all while missing out on family time and loved ones over the holidays. You most likely all see it as just “doing what needs to be done” and not some sort of sacrifice— which is a sure sign of hero status.
@garyLthomas@Dr_ChrisHobbs@garyLthomas does a fantastic job of articulating truths and teaching in this area. Greg and I so appreciate him and Lisa. It’s a small world when friends know each other!! @Dr_ChrisHobbs
We're boarded up and out until Dorian passes. From Florida to the Carolinas, everyone please stay safe. Do what @fcntim says.
Our thoughts are with our Bahamian brothers and sisters at this time. #hurricanedorian
@Andrewnsnyder We have lost 2 babies...my heart just breaks w you. 1 of the hardest parts is the lack of ritual our culture has in grieving prenatal loss. There are no healing, cultural “movements” to walk through to process the pain. This organization is a healing balm https://t.co/3t2isC9fsM
