0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Timistic Institute podcast. I'm Father Gregory Pine, and we're doing something a little bit new here.
0:16.4	So we had a lot of questions from students at these live lectures, you know, on themes of philosophy and theology.
0:22.6	But as a listener, I think a lot of folks tuning into the podcast were formulating their own questions as they were following along with the audio and then sometimes online with the video.
0:32.6	And so we thought that we would have a new opportunity here to follow up further with some of the speakers.
0:38.3	So each two weeks, we're going to start out with each two weeks, I'll be hosting one of our

2:04.5	just call something like philosophy of education. I've been thinking a lot about the liberal arts
2:10.4	and why we should support them, how they're different from anything else you might study.
