While many are seeking happiness and a life of ease, virtue has seemingly fallen out of style. In this interview, Fr. Gregory Pine talks about the connection between meaning, happiness, and virtue. In doing so, we cover questions such as "how to be more confident" and "how to be more decisive" as well as more theoretical questions, such as the role prudence plays in aligning all the other virtues. Whether you're looking for practical advice on living a life of virtue or you want to know the importance of the overlooked virtue of prudence, this video is for you. And, of course, since this is Fr. Pine, we talk about everything from the gestation period of whales to Homer. So, yeah, there's something for everyone.

About Gospel Simplicity:
Gospel Simplicity began as a TH-cam channel in a Moody Bible Institute dorm. It was born out of the central conviction that the gospel is really good news, and I wanted to share that with as many people as possible. The channel has grown and changed over time, but that central conviction has never changed. Today, we make content around biblical and theological topics, often interacting with people from across the Christian tradition with the hope of seeking greater unity and introducing people to the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel, the good news about Jesus.
About the host:
Hey! My name is Austin, and I'm a 23 year old guy who’s passionate about the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel. I believe that the gospel, the good news about Jesus, is really good news, and I’m out to explore, unpack, and share that good news with as many people as possible. I'm a full blown Bible and Church History nerd that loves getting to dialogue with others about this, learning as much as I can, and then teaching whatever I can. I grew up around Frederick, MD where I eventually ended up working my first job at a church. They made the mistake of letting me try my hand at teaching, and instantly I fell in love. That set me on a path for further education, and I'm currently a student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL, studying theology. On any given day you can find me with my nose in a book or a guitar in my hands. Want to get to know me more? Follow me and say hi on Instagram at: @austin.suggs

Fr. Pine is a gift to the church.
I see Fr. Pine, I click like.
There's the simplicity I've been looking for!
You and Fr. Pine are so passionate. The enthusiasm you both show inspire me to be more intentional in my faith. Thank you again for this interview. God bless you and Fr. Pine
This is an astonishingly useful interview. Thank you both so much 🙏🏼
Yay! Fr. Pine! (It must be midnight in Switzerland…)
Loved his answer to your last question, almost made me cry. Austin can you make Fr Pine regular to your channel? You and Fr Pine just go together so well.
Glad you enjoyed it! Fr. Pine is a rather busy man, so I don't see that happening right now but I do enjoy having him on
I struggled a lot to truly understand the difference between “pure reason” and “practical reason” in Kant’s ethics and metaphysics (at the university). I came to understand those philosophical concepts fairly better only after studying - who would know back then? - moral theology, specially St Thomas Aquinas and St Alphonsus Liguori. If only I studied theology much earlier! Fr Pine is a very bright man.
_”Prudence is the virtue that disposes practical reason to discern our true good in every circumstance and to choose the right means of achieving it; "the prudent man looks where he is going" (Prov 14, 15). “Keep sane and sober for your prayers” (1 Pe 4, 7). Prudence is "right reason in action," writes St. Thomas Aquinas, following Aristotle. It is not to be confused with timidity or fear, nor with duplicity or dissimulation. It is called ‘auriga virtutum’ (the charioteer of the virtues); it guides the other virtues by setting rule and measure. It is prudence that immediately guides the judgment of conscience. The prudent man determines and directs his conduct in accordance with this judgment. With the help of this virtue we apply moral principles to particular cases without error and overcome doubts about the good to achieve and the evil to avoid”_ (Catechism, par. 1806).
Nice topic to go deep into studying, Austin! And congratulations for the 40k+ subscribers!
Thank you for bringing Fr. Pine back. I appreciate his intellect and I completely dig his sense of humor and all of his crazy references. I didn’t expect to get all jolly in a conversation about Prudence when I heard a reference to my Phoenix Suns and Chris Pine. lol It made me laugh, but that’s a pretty great illustration of how striving for virtue should be pervasive in every aspect of our life.
Leave it to Fr. Pine to be able to connect just about anything to spiritual topics
@@GospelSimplicity
Can I ask you some questions about the Holy Spirit?
Fr. Pine you are sweetheart!
Love Fr. Pine ❤
Always excellent to hear Fr. Pine and his tangents, and great questions too!
Wow! I wanted you to bring back Fr. Pine. Thanks Austin. This is so exciting to watch.
What an enriching conversation! This was lovely and incredibly helpful, I appreciated what he had to say about confidence and decision making, and also the literature references!
You know what, I've changed my mind. Fr. Pine is an ok guy.
About the posture thing, strength training workouts and running can help improve it
Hi Austin. 👋🙏🏽❤️ I really hope you are doing well, mentally, emotionally, and physically. This is not an insult but you look just a wee bit tired. Just a concern, so again, I hope you are doing well. And please don't feel like you owe us, as your subscribers and viewers, anything. It's okay to slow down on these videos. Take time for yourself and your studies. You're in my prayers, Austin. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️ God love and bless you. 🙏🏽❤️
You're perceptive! This was the second interview I had done that day and the fourth video in two days while on spring "break." Thanks for your prayers!
@@GospelSimplicity Whoa, have some prudence, man! :D
🤔 for all those who believe Jesus had to die for our sins to give us SALVATI0N ✝️.👉🏼 Why was this method never needed before as humans have always sinned from DAY 1 ❓
@@thetruthwithproof8802 Begone devil!
@@thetruthwithproof8802Hello friend, thanks for an interesting reply, I do not think Christ was needed, but given, testifying to the goodness of God, Who through Jesus gave us New life and gave us New eyes because of the life he lived, for you, and me, and all, he loves you and desires for you to know him, May you find him and God bless you!
Fr Greg is such a nerd XD
He sure is.
It so good
Catholics, let's restore
virtues > emotions,
common sense > follow your heart, harmony > whim.
We especially have to aim for prudence as it is the stem of all another cardinal virtues.
Our Lord Jesus, Master and source of all virtue, increase our faith, hope and love.
St.Thomas, Angelic doctor, pray for us.
Jesus is divine!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is close to a religious version of the sitcom The Big BangTheory Hahaha!!
Lord Of The Rings is the fiction that reveals much about the need of virtues.
We are censored.
Jesus is an apocalyptic prophet, but not divine.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary.
To one without faith, no explanation is possible.

Hi Terrence, thanks for the reply, Jesus loves you, at the cross He gave himself to God in order for us to be given a New life, me, you and all Who want, you are loved and called to light, He is There waiting for you, May you Be blessed!
