Today we talk about how removing things from our lives can help us find God. Larry also asks for co-host Brandon to clean up his language in case special listener Richard Rohr is tuned in. The conversation swiftly moves onto a more profound topic, inspired by the teachings of Richard Rohr and the Franciscan tradition, focusing on the virtues of simple living as a path to contentment and social justice. We debate the capitalist worldview's impact on society, emphasizing accumulation and consumption, and advocate for a shift towards appreciating the small, simple pleasures in life as a means to attain true happiness and equality. We also explore the implications of our lifestyles on their children, questioning the values being passed on through our actions. The episode concludes with a reflection on the importance of finding joy in the mundane and the hosts personal commitments to appreciating the simple aspects of life.
