03 - The Relationship Between Faith and Reason

Welcome to The Joyful Pursuit, a podcast dedicated to exploring the intricate dance between faith and reason, and how these seemingly different forces unite to illuminate truth. Join host Fr. Steven Bolton, a Roman Catholic priest, as he delves into the time-worn debate of how faith and reason interact. Drawing from theological insights of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and papal writings, this episode provides a thoughtful perspective on how faith does not compete with reason but collaborates with it to help humanity seek a fuller understanding of existence and its divine purpose.

Listen as we navigate questions of human existence, explore the cathedrals of human thought, and embark on a journey to discover how these two wings—faith and reason—lift the human spirit to contemplate the profound mysteries of God and creation. Embrace this enlightening discussion on why both faith and reason are essential for human flourishing and the pursuit of truth.
