NO SMALL ENDEAVOR: S7E1
Friends, today is the day: the inaugural episode of No Small Endeavor.
I trust that all the things you’ve told us you like about Tokens Show will remain. We will still be interviewing guests around all manner of topics that relate to human flourishing, social ethics, theology, culture, and more.
But our new name is no mere superficial rebrand; think of it as a signpost of what’s to come.
We’ve been afforded some wonderful opportunities to reach wider audiences, and with those opportunities comes a new sense of responsibility. In this time of transition we’ve sought to clarify the mission and purpose or our work, expressed in our new tagline: exploring what it means to live a good life.
We’ll be asking questions that philosophers and theologians have asked for millennia: What is true happiness? How do we not merely cope, but flourish? We will continue to investigate the inseparable link between the quest to live a good life and the pressing questions of society, culture, and the common good. And on these questions, you'll continue to hear from best-selling authors, philosophers, scientists, artists, psychologists, theologians and even the occasional politician—courageous, impassioned people taking seriously the question of how to live a good life.
Today on this short(er) introductory episode, I discuss three practices that will be central: making good conversation, even if the conversation might make you, or me, uncomfortable; practicing courage, long understood as one of the central human practices for living any life worth living; and facilitating a community of friendship.
We’re excited about what lies ahead. I’m so grateful for the many who’ve been with us as “Tokens Show” for the past fifteen years, and look forward to continuing to share in all this new season with you. And all of us at Tokens Media look welcome all the new friends and companions joining with us, as we enter this new stage of our work.
