Considering college? Explore Augustine College, a one-year classical Christian program in Ottawa that prepares students to think and live faithfully in a secular age:
In this episode, Dr. John Patrick explains why he came to believe, through the work of Oliver O'Donovan, that ethics is not fundamentally a branch of philosophy but of theology, and why Aristotle's brilliant system was built on a flawed foundation. Dr. John Patrick reflects on his own upbringing, the preaching of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and Augustine's Confessions to argue that culture and character, not mere technical knowledge, determine whether societies flourish. He draws on decades of medical work in the Caribbean and Africa to show how cultural and spiritual foundations shape everything from nutrition science to national development, and he critiques modern scientism, climate alarmism, and the collapse of classical education. The episode closes with an extended reflection on Psalm 73 as a model for wrestling honestly with doubt while holding onto faith.
