Sharon Lebell & Simon Drew | Faith, Hope, and Love

Are the cardinal virtues of courage, temperance, wisdom, and justice enough to live our highest good? Is there a need for the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love? These are just two of the questions we explore in this wide-ranging conversation of In Search of Wisdom.

In this episode, I welcome to the show two friends from The Walled Garden, Sharon Lebell (author of The Art of Living) and Simon Drew (author of The Poet & the Sage). As you’ll hear in the episode, Sharon and Simon have thought deeply about what it means to live a virtuous life, and I’m grateful they took the time to come on the show. 

In the conversation, we explore the questions,

• What is faith, and what’s the opposite of faith? 


• How should we think about hope in daily life?


• Why do some philosophers see hope as something to avoid? 


• What roles do our views and beliefs play in living virtuously?


• Wisdom in daily life and much more

Although we covered much ground in the conversation, we only scratched the surface. Our goal is to connect again in the near future to explore the virtue of love — more to follow.
