S4 E3 - How Great Is Thou's Art?
Apr 24, 202400:38:31Tap to summarizeChristians throughout time have thought about where they worship in very diverse ways. Some place great emphasis in the physical beauty of a space, while others emphasize that God meets us wherever we are. Further, physical surroundings can be great distractions to transcendent things.

S3 E1 - Cornell's "Greatest Good"
Apr 26, 202300:19:29Tap to summarizeSeason 3 of ClariTalks is focusing on the greatest good. Cornell recently spearheaded a fundraising campaign by quoting from Ezra Cornell's journal and claiming that all Cornellians are devoted to achieving the "greatest good." But how true is that in practice? And what does the university even think goodness is? In episode 1, we focus on the second question here–talking to university historian Corey Ryan Earle about the values that Cornell espouses and how it often fails to carry them out.

May 3, 202100:25:36Tap to summarizeFor many millions of teenagers and adults struggling with depression or anxiety, the "good life" can seem unattainable because life may not seem very "good" in the first place. In this episode, Sarah Castor helps us approach this topic of "goodness"...what does a good life really mean when depression clouds our minds? Through interviews with a seminary student and a freshman at Cornell, as well as conversations about theology, Sarah shows us how the gospel gives us a guide for finding peace when we feel at our lowest.

Apr 18, 202100:24:05Tap to summarizeIn 1987, a movie called “Wall Street” was released that painted a narrative of corporate greed and self-indulgence over the infamous financial district. This negative stigma has created a stereotype of finance careers, highlighting greed and money as the main motivators of success. In this episode of ClariTalks, Seth Bollinger explores the world of Wall Street through a financial advisor, a business student, and a moral psychologist with this question: how do careers and the good life intersect? And when does a career-focused life result in burnout? Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @cornellclaritas or at cornellclaritas.com Thanks for listening!
