Natural Happiness: A Philosophical Approach to Evangelization

Published: Nov. 13, 2019, 5 p.m.

Dave \u201cThe Dandy\u201d VanVickle and I are talking about a different approach to evangelization: philosophy. A lot of people respond to the kerygma alone, but some really need a rational argument to understand the reason for belief in God. So today we dig into natural happiness. To be brief, the idea is that nothing in the world can completely satisfy us, because we were made for something eternal, which is God.

We also talk a bit about parish bureaucracy and the hierarchy of the Church. Let\u2019s just say you should pray for your parish.

Snippet from the Show
\n\u201cYour spouse is not sufficient to make you happy. They are a human person and your heart has an infinite longing that only an infinite God can fulfill. So if you demand your husband or wife to complete you, you are asking them to be God for you. That\u2019s unrealistic.\u201d
