About this episode
The episode explores the concept of flourishing in a chaotic world through the insights of Andrew Briggs and his book.
Andrew Briggs started to write the book Human Flourishing just before COVID and then the world went mad. Since then, the world has gotten even madder and many people are clutching their smartphones, wringing their hands, managing their anxiety, or merely existing. What does it mean to flourish and what do people, relationships, and professions look like and feel like when they flourish? In this book, authors Andrew Briggs and Michael J. Reiss and painter Roger Wagner weave together a beautiful picture of the material and immaterial, the concrete and the spiritual. Included here is a reproduction of Roger Wagner's painting It Keeps Me Seeking . The original painting hangs in The Auckland Project Faith Museum: https://aucklandproject.org/attraction/faith-museum/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
