    In this episode of Living Fullness, Stina and Padre explore one of the deepest questions person? Together they unpack why information alone doesn’t transform us, why suffering changes some people but leaves others stuck, and how formation requires openness, consistency, sacrifice, and grace.

    S09 Ep12 - The Cost of Integrity

    In this episode of Living Fullness, Stina and Padre make an important announcement for the podcast before diving into a deep conversation about integrity — what it means to live as an integrated, authentic human person in a fragmented world. Together they explore how integrity is more than simply “being honest.” It is about the wholeness of the human person: when our beliefs, desires, actions, and convictions are aligned with truth and goodness. The conversation touches on the pressures of social media, dating culture, workplace environments, and the hidden interior cost of living disconnected from who God created us to be.   Timestamps: 00:00:00 - 00:02:36 - Introduction and Announcement 00:02:37 - 00:06:53 - Understanding Integrity 00:06:54 - 00:10:53 - Integrity in the Online World 00:10:54 - 00:12:52 - Integrity in the Workplace 00:12:53 - 00:18:36 - Integrity in the Dating 00:18:37 - 00:22:03 - Embracing Imperfections in Relationship 00:22:04 - 00:32:22 - The Impact of Integrity on the Interior Life 00:32:23 - 00:37:40 - Restoring Integrity: The Path to Wholeness 00:37:41 - 00:40:30 - Truth, Beauty and Goodness   - A Virtue Ministry Podcast - Please find all the information of todays episode in the show notes below: https://www.virtueministry.org.au/podcast/podcast-notes/  Subscribe or Follow the Podcast and help us share our mission.

    In this episode of Living Fullness, Stina and Padre unpack and dive deep into what evangelisation actually is ...and what it is not.
