Peter Kreeft is like (and I mean this in the best possible) a wise old anthropomorphic tortoise out of a child’s novel who gives the dejected protagonist the hope he needs to carry on. God bless you, Dr. Kreeft for all the work you have and continue to do for Him and the great intellectual tradition of Western Civilization.
Dr. Kreeft is responsible for my conversion after exchanging a few e-mails with me; the Holy Spirit used Him to draw me in, and I am eternally grateful. God bless you, Dr. Kreeft, you continue to inspire me ten years later!
Totally agree! I would add Jimmy Akin to that list. Though I have to say, his new speech, dropping the "ing" and saying dudnt instead of doesn't is hard to listen to. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it does. Clearly, it's my problem to get over, not his. He is free to speak any way that he would like. So go ahead, add him to the list! He is truly a gifted man when it comes to intelligence. So what if he has a new speech problem! (Ha, couldn't resist!)🤗
I am going through really bad depression due to childhood trauma and now having no income, going to different interviews with no answers. My significant other doesn't hug me, kiss me or even talk to me when he comes home. All i can do is smile at him and pray for the best. This conversation is the sweetest, most simple ways of looking into life. I thank God everyday to be alive another day even though it hurts to go through the cycles. I thank God for having people like you and your guests to have these incredible, wholesome yet human conversations that i wish i can have with my loved ones. I'm just lucky i have my therapist to talk to and try to help me out of this cave. Thank you for your conversations, it helps me that i'm not alone in some sense. 🙏
@@akira797 You should not cohabit with people who aren't your spouse, it is a serious sin. It is better to become married asap. I hope your therapist is a good Catholic because otherwise they can send you the wrong way
If you are a fan of Pints to Aquinas because every now and then, there’s a conversation that allows you to become a fly on a wall in a room where two old friends are meeting to chat over a cup of coffee, this episode is for you.
Protestant here who's loved your recent slate of guests. Scott Hahn and Peter Kreeft are always good to listen to, and I'm a big Chosen fan so I enjoyed Jonathan Roumie too. Keep up the good work!
God lets us experience sorrow in order to maximize our joy. What a profound thought just moments into their conversation. I could listen to Dr. Kreeft all day.
“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life. "Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.” - The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas
Interesting... does this mean that the devil exists only so that there can be a god? Like, where there is light there has to be dark, yin and yang etc... But if so, God only exists so that there can be a devil and is therefore responsible for his existence. God created the devil.
Like me, I was baptised Catholic as a baby. When going to mass, the priest told me, "Then your Catholic, you just need confirmation. And I did last Easter st age 60.
I can listen to Dr. Peter Kreeft all day..He influenced me to look into Catholicism deeply, so that i could understand thoroughly. Much love and appreciation..
1:10:10 Some of the best advice I’ve received was along these lines. It was from a friend with Cerebral Palsy. We’d just gotten to a bar and sat down ready to order drinks. We hadn’t had anything to drink yet. We were both sober. Yet, the bouncer told the bartender to flag my friend and not serve him, because he walked in with a gait (remember, he has cerebral palsy). I was so angry for him and wanted to give the bouncer a piece of my mind. My friend remained perfectly calm, and insisted I sit down, get myself something to drink, and we go on with our night. He wasn’t upset. He was used to people making wrong assumptions about him. His advice was this: “you can’t live life trying to police stupid people” - Mr. Kreeft is right on. That wisdom drives away bitterness & disappointment in dealing with other people!
@@AquinasBased I wouldn’t say he was stupid. I also wouldn’t say he made an educated guess. In my opinion, to make an educated guess, you need more info than the way a person walks. He didn’t stop us to talk or try to determine if we could carry on a conversation that was coherent. He never got close enough to see if we smelled like alcohol. He barely even greeted us, before jumping to the wrong conclusion and acting upon it. Was he stupid? I prefer not to label ppl that way. But did he act in stupidity, or ignorance, or haste? Absolutely. That’s the point I was making. There is peace in accepting you can’t police people’s stupid behaviors or actions.
Hands down one of the most influential "podcasts" ive ever heard. What profound wisdom sits in 3 hours. I will be back and rewatch whole thing. This gave me so many things to look up 😅
This is an amazing conversation. I’ve woken up at 3am so I look through utube. Am I guided to listen to this . I’m going through a bad time at the moment in my life . I ask God to help me with this struggle and for some reason I wake up and chose randomly for something to listen to so I can go back to sleep . Wow !!!
I was recently thinking something similar to Dr. Kreeft's point about protestants and purgatory (around 1:34). Protestants are pretty quick to talk about sanctification, the lifelong process of being formed into the image of Christ which is to be completed, to our holyness, at death. The hangup with understanding purgatory (besides the "pop-culture" depictions of it) is that we protestants don't speak latin. It comes from the word 'purgation,' as in 'the purging of.' Clearly there's no raising to holiness without the casting off of sin; there's no refining by fire without burning off the dross. Sanctification and purgation are two sides of a single coin. Best regards, Grant
A slogan of the father who's kids I babysat many years ago was "perfume and paints makes a girl what she ain'ts. " It was seared into my subconscious. When I wear makeup, I use the lightest hand. I have very little color naturally.
The first real apologetics book I ever read was Peter Kreeft’s Christianity for Modern Pagans and it reshaped my whole life. He’s one of my favorite people in this world. Thanks for so many interviews with him that are never the same interview!
I truly don’t understand the desire to remain young. I’m 31 years old right now. I have absolutely no desire to remain young. With each passing day I’m one day closer to meeting my Creator as long as I don’t mess it up. My aging will be the physical reminder of this. It seems like one of the greatest blessings I could hope for.
Some of Matt’s questions remind me of the Seinfeld episode where George is taking care of a senior citizen as a part of a program and the guys positive attitude to life makes George crazy and he starts asking all these questions like how can you be so happy when you’re so old etc.
I love this. I remember being enamored as a kid that things exist and I was wondered why no one was talking about it. Turns out, people have been thinking and talking about it for centuries
I thought it not possible to love and respect Dr. Kreeft more than I already do, and then he mentions the very obscure, incredible SF author Cordwainer Smith . . .
It sounds like Peter and Matt were talking about the same Twilight Zone episode, "A Nice Place to Visit". Its also not St. Peter, but a being named Pip who he erroneously thinks is his Guardian Angel, but of course, the big wham line is, "Heaven? Whatever gave you the idea you were in Heaven, Mr. Valentine? This IS the other place!"
Back to handwriting essays and research in the library with actual books. Write the notes and the work in computer free libraries. Like back in the day lol
Former Calvinist. Augustine is a great gateway to reach those coming from that background, being the most revered of the Church Fathers due to his perceived proximity to their notion of Justification by Faith and Predestination. Once drawn into Augustine, I began to wonder, was he not saved? Yet he has all of these other beliefs I would normally have thought incompatible with Christianity as I knew it? Surely he was as were others before the Reformation. Augustine is a great wedge to open the door to conversation because he is typically "assumed to have been of the elect" by Calvinists.
Budweiser was sold to InBev in July 2008, as part of the acquisition of Anheuser-Busch, for approximately $70 per share. The deal was finalized in October 2008, creating AB InBev.
I wish I was in the room to ask questions. As a protestant, I about fell out of my chair over some of the flippant comments much as if a protestant said the eucharist wasn't actually a big deal. I love my Catholic siblings so I always seek encounters to explore dialogue. Much like when his mother put to bed he and his father's arguments of purgatory. I find Eastern theology much easier to square with my own in general. Catholics see some things beautifully and others, it feels like someone whom you love who gets drunk often. You feel confused how they can reconcile the choices.
Holy smokes! Kreeft is smokin' with the apologetics. I shouldn't be surprised. I guess what astounds me is the unmitigated faith, and the forthrightness, skill, incredible memory, cultural awareness, and ability to boil everything, and I mean EVERYTHING down to the most simple explanations. His will and his gifts are obviously plumb lined with G-d's will. Brilliant.
A horror movie that scared me so much as a kid was The Langoliers. Psychologically it’s a mystery thriller however when they show what the bad things are the end the movie loses its fear factor as it looks very cheesy.
I wear makeup when I perform on stage so people can see my facial expressions from the crowd. I like to tell the stories of the lyrics with my face so I don’t want anyone to miss what story I’m telling.
Great Philosophy: Here is one of mine: What can one learn from a dog? A dog cannot remember yesterday's dinner, she cannot imagine tomorrow's dinner, but she greatly enjoys today's dinner from the moment that she starts to smell it.
Yes Budweis is a city in Tchechia. But this is its German name because it was part of the Austrin empire. And there was a time in early 19th century when the Tchech language nearly vanished. It was revived largely because of German speaking romantics who wanted to preserve the Tchech language.. The Chech name is Budovice. And of course Tchech Budweiser beer is better than American beer.
1:22:40 I had an idea for how to end it as a very short story. John panics after seeing both versions of his daughter, runs to Gary's house and tells him the situation. John's panicking and Gary's a bit freaked out too, so he steps out of the room for a minute. When he returns he is noticeably calmer, though still tired. John is very relieved at the sight of him and appologises to Gary for having to wake him. Gary is tired but takes it in stride, walks back to John's house, asks where he sleeps, and then walks into John's bedroom. He then shakes someone who is lying on the bed, saying quietly, "John, your daughter needs you." A second John rises hastily from the bed and looks around at the first John. They share a nod of acknowledgement but otherwise awkwardly avoid each other as they both make their way to the daughter's room again. The First John pokes his head under the sheets, the Second under the bed where a second bed lies, and they both get the daughter to calm down. Gary departs, his job complete.
FYI - the Budweiser beer in the Czech Republic is not related at all to the American Budweiser. I've heard that Anheuser-Busch tried to buy the Czech Budweiser some decades ago but the Czechs refused. Good for them. IMO the Czechs make the best beer in the world - even better than German beer.
I usually wear more makeup when I am struggling and trying to hide it. I don't have a good poker face naturally. But my husband prefers full makeup over no makeup. What about women grooming their face? Especially with hair removal. Best thing is, you can become a Dominican if she passes first. I tell my husband I would want to be a nun if I were widowed.
Looking forward to reading that horror story about the doppelganger when you finish writing it!! Also, check out Brandon Sanderson to see a fantasy author who's doing things on the level of Tolkien!
I'm a man and I detest all flatulence humour. I played a prank recently. Phoning the library where I work, pretending to be a customer, and picking an argument with a colleague who I knew idolised a particular historical character. Saying I was researching that character and that my thesis was he was a git. It worked. (I told him it was me later and he seemed to appreciate it; he was telling other people the story.)
Hello, I would just like to like to say that I like make up! There are many reasons why I like it. I believe it bonds me with women when I share tips, or my favorite lip balm. I have done several weddings and it becomes very intimate, the women I adorn get to hear about Jesus and what he has done in my life. It also helps my inner child, it is reminiscent of playing. I like to pretend I am in old-timely movies getting dolled up when I put on red lipstick. I love the packaging and the experience, just as men love a beautiful golf club. There is also the beauty of a routine and how moisturizing and putting yourself together is honoring your temple. I don’t believe I am ugly. But I love makeup. I think makeup can enhance women’s divine femininity, just like perfume, wearing a beautiful dress etc… That’s all I had to say! Thanks :)!

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly construed. I need to remember that. Chesterton is a treasure trove.
During lecture Dr. Kreeft said "If you're not getting at least splinters from the cross, you're not close enough to the cross."
“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.

Love Peter!! Astonishingly enjoyable. Full of the spirit of God.
Wonderful interview
Great tie, Dr. Kreeft!
Peter Kreeft’s book “Back To Virtue”, after reading CS Lewis’ Mere Christianity and Abolition of Man, truly opened my eyes and lead me to Christ.

I played a prank recently. Phoning the library where I work, pretending to be a customer, and picking an argument with a colleague who I knew idolised a particular historical character. Saying I was researching that character and that my thesis was he was a git. It worked. (I told him it was me later and he seemed to appreciate it; he was telling other people the story.)

Hello, I would just like to like to say that I like make up!
There are many reasons why I like it. I believe it bonds me with women when I share tips, or my favorite lip balm. I have done several weddings and it becomes very intimate, the women I adorn get to hear about Jesus and what he has done in my life.
It also helps my inner child, it is reminiscent of playing. I like to pretend I am in old-timely movies getting dolled up when I put on red lipstick. I love the packaging and the experience, just as men love a beautiful golf club. There is also the beauty of a routine and how moisturizing and putting yourself together is honoring your temple.
I don’t believe I am ugly. But I love makeup. I think makeup can enhance women’s divine femininity, just like perfume, wearing a beautiful dress etc…
That’s all I had to say! Thanks :)!
