This lecture discusses key ideas from the sequence of letters between two great Medieval intellectuals, lovers, and religious Heloise D'Argenteuil and Peter Abelard

It focuses specifically on the third letter, which is by Abelard. It discusses Heloise's proposal that although they have taken monastic vows, they can rightly enjoy some married life together through writing letters to each other, and Abelard's rejection of that suggestion. He tell her that they both must turn to God and make Christian perfection their goal, even if that means leaving their amorous relationship behind, and he tells her that by his own confessions, he intends to change her love into contempt or hatred for him.

Heloise and Abelard - Letters 5-6 - Struggling Against Passion - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the medieval Christian philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae, 1st part, question 20 "God's Love", and examines  on his discussion in article 1, which addresses the issue whether love is in God. Aquinas considers several arguments against love being in God and addresses each of them. He also explains how it is that love is in God by looking at how the will tends towards the universal or common good through love.

Thomas Aquinas Summa Theologiae - Whether Love Is In God - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the medieval Christian philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae, 1st part, question 20, "God's Love", and examines his discussion in article 2, which examines the question whether God loves things other than God. Thomas considers four main lines of reasoning that would say that God either doesn't love other things or only loves some other things but not others. He then clarifies that God wills good to all things that exist, giving them the very being and goodness that they possess, so God loves all things insofar as they are. This doesn't mean that he loves all things to the same extent or in the same ways.

It’s shocking, infuriating, and the kind of real-life Vault story you have to hear to believe. &nbsp; This story is part of The Saturday Spill series a little peek into the wild, unfiltered stuff that usually stays on Patreon.

Saturday Spill | The VA Who Stole Thousands From Us

In this heart-opening and laughter-filled episode of Big Blend Radio’s "Soul Diving Sunday" Show,  Shelley Whizin "Your Live & Die Happy Coach," shares her innovative and joy-centered approach to transforming relationship patterns through play.

Shelley introduces listeners to the concept of PlayShops—interactive, experiential sessions designed to help people understand and release unhealthy relationship habits with humor, self-awareness, and compassion. Through engaging stories and heartfelt insights, she explains how fear-based patterns—what she lovingly calls our “Little Fearlings”—often take the driver’s seat in relationships, blocking love and connection. But through laughter, awareness, and playful role-play, we can retrain the brain, reclaim joy, and create relationships rooted in love and authenticity.

🧠💛 Key Takeaways:
- PlayShops offer a lighthearted, effective way to shift negative relationship habits
- Fear often drives emotional reactions and blocks love
- Self-awareness and personal responsibility are essential for relationship growth
- Humor can be a powerful healing tool in emotional work
- Compassion and curiosity foster deeper human connection
- Leadership in love requires vulnerability and authenticity
- Living a “yummy delicious life” means embracing joy, love, and laughter every day
- Daily love vows can strengthen relationships and nurture ongoing growth
- It’s never too late to rewrite your love story—with play and presence
