The Pat Flynn Show

Pat is joined by his wife Christine for a discussion on how to develop a practical prayer life. In this episode, the couple dive into their unique prayer lives, including what's been most powerful and helpful to them, how they got started, and what's kept them in the routine of maintaining a regular, ongoing conversation with God.

Tim Anderson, founder of Original Strength, joins Pat Flynn as each share their story of how they found faith in all the wrong--but eventual right!--ways, including fitness. Tim and Pat explore how searching for meaning and identify in physical feats or nutrition plans was an empty and shallow game, and that it wasn't until coming to faith that fitness became all the more meaningful and worth pursuing. Please enjoy this intimate and (hopefully) inspiring conversation of two men sharing and learning from each other's spiritual journey. ...

Join in on the riveting discussion, as these three gentleman talk about why lowering standards is (typically) something that ought to be shunned, and why standards keep us aiming high, inform our practice, and help orient us toward what is really good in life.

On the last episode, Pat explained how morality is a blueprint for human flourishing. On this episode, Pat unpacks what it means to practice morality (in a mostly Christian sense), and why trying to be a religious person is often like going to the dentist: difficult at first (especially if we haven't been taking care of our teeth), but really good for us in the long term. ...

Pat Flynn is joined by Professor Peter Koch of Villanova University to discuss the nature of truth--what is truth?--and do we know what we know? Many of us work off the assumption that truth is knowable and that our senses are reliable. But what happens when we question these assumptions? What happens when we attempt to define truth? These are some of the most important questions a person can ask in life, if that person is committed to finding out--if, and what--the meaning of life really is. Join us for a deep (but accessible!) philosophical conversation on the nature of truth and exploring the study of epistemology, or we know what we know.

Pat talks about the importance of expressing the strength and movement abilities you've been developing in the form of "adult recess"; in other words, play! So often we get caught up in the rigidity of a tightly structured training program. And that's great, because that's how we make progress. But we also need to take the time to use and enjoy the abilities we've developed. This is why we need to take opportunities to improvise with our movement, to get into flows, and just have fun exploring and expressing different patterns and drills. Such activity is not only fun, but burns calories and boost endorphins. Pat shares some ideas on how to get started with this, and why play--separate and distinct from exercise--is such an important part of healthy living.

It's philosophy week on The Pat Flynn Show, and today we're looking at a classic argument that attempts to answer the question: Why is there something rather than nothing? (If you enjoyed the episode with Dr. Josh Rasmussen or Dr. Delfino, then you are going to equally enjoy this!) This argument has deep roots, and has been developed and presented in many forms over the centuries as evidence for God by thinkers ranging from Thomas Aquinas to Gottfried Wilhelm Libneiz and many more. Today, I'm joined by Cameron Bertuzzi of Capturing Christianity to hear his presentation and defense of the argument--what it is, and what we can learn from it.

Pat talks about two very important fitness philosophies: Generalism, or being better than most people, at most things, even if you aren't the best at any one; and minimalism, which is doing the least you need to reach the goal at hand. Generalism teaches that hard-core specialization is not only a waste of time for the majority of people, but may even lead to serious, negative consequences. Better in almost every instance to focus on maximizing general physical preparedness, over specific physical preparedness. Minimalism, on the other hand, gets you to focus on pulling all the unnecessary clutter out of your fitness program; to marry effectiveness (doing the right things) to efficiency (doing things right) in all things. These are the informing philosophies and principles of Strong ON!, and the better you know them, the more clarity you'll have on not only what goals make sense, but also how to get there.

Can we know truth? Does God exist? Did the universe *have* to be the way that it is? Dr. Josh Rasmussen, PhD in analytic metaphysics, joins me for a deep and riveting conversation about the biggest questions of life, and our attempts to answer them.

Can you know of God through reason alone? What can philosophy tell us about God's existence and nature? Dr. Robert Delfino joins me to a deep and interesting philosophical conversation about how the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas and his famous "5 ways" can help us to form a better understanding of the divine. About Dr. Robert Delfino Robert A. Delfino is Associate Professor of Philosophy at St. John's University in New York City. He received his Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo, where he specialized in metaphysics, medieval philosophy, and Thomas Aquinas, studying under Professor Jorge J. E. Gracia. His current research interests include metaphysics, ethics, and the relationship between science, philosophy, and religion. He has published articles on Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Husserl, philosophy of science, personal identity, and human rights, in various countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy, Russia, Poland, and India. He has presented papers at the University of Oxford, in the United Kingdom, the Comillas Pontifical University in Madrid, Spain, and the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, in Poland. He is a fellow of the Adler-Aquinas Institute, a member of the Board of Advisors for the International Etienne Gilson Society.

Episode 148: Minimalism 101 - The How, What, and Why There's a lot of talk about minimalism these days, but what does it really mean? Is minimalism disavowing yourself of possessions, selling your home, and living out of a backpack? Well, not exactly. At least, that's not the way most people should think about it. Rather, minimalism is the cross-section between effectiveness (doing the right things), on the one hand, and efficiency (doing things right), on the other. Said another way, minimalism is about identifying the most economical path to your goals; it's doing the very least you need to get a job done, and not a smidgeon more. In this episode, Pat talks about how to use minimalism as an orientation device (or a method/process) for figuring out the very best way to your goals. Hint: It may often mean doing a lot more work than you might have thought. Minimalism =/= being lazy. ... Please take 1 minute to subscribe and rank The Pat Flynn Show on iTunes!

Often it has been said the notion of a "body transformation" presents a moral challenge: On the one hand, the very idea seems to suggest that we're not quite enough. On the other, it seems that everyone in the industry is trying to win customers by making these challenges all the more ridiculous and extreme--to the point that they're not even healthy; they're just obnoxious (if not outright dangerous!). So, what are we to make of this? Well, it may seem cliche, but when presented with a moral dilemma, I go straight for a priest. Lucky enough, I happen to know just the one: Father Steve Grunow, CEO of Word On Fire, himself a bodybuilder and fitness buff. On this episode, Father Steve and I discuss: Why it is that we can never attain complete happiness by reaching a certain number on the scale? How to find the right orientation in fitness and life: One that will allow you to pursue your fitness goals while maintaining a healthy relationship with your body. The spiritual corollaries to establishing a healthy body image, and why we need them. Why fitness challenges aren't necessarily a bad thing, and how to go about them safely and sustainable. And more!

Pat talks about a very powerful nutrition strategy: Periodization.

Pat talks about the mental side of physical exercise, and how using visualization techniques and various "intentional states of mind" is often the critical missing component in many people's training programs.

Right and wrong, good and bad; where do these ideas come from? Why is it that we have a moral conscience to begin with, and feel some things are really just and others absolutely evil? Is morality merely the byproduct of sociobiological conditioning, or is it a clue to something more? In this episode, Pat Flynn explores the nature of morality, to see what--if anything--it can tell us about God.
