Dr. O. Alan Noble on The Good Life
About this episode
On this episode of Anchored, Jeremy and Arooba are joined by Dr. O. Alan Noble, associate professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University. Dr. Noble discusses his interest in studying culture as a young student, but how challenging it was to learn to do it in a way that honors God. He talks about the existential dread that many students face in response to cultural pressure to perform in a specific way. Dr. Noble also shares the importance of developing a Godly perspective, knowing our limits, and recognizing that some things aren't good for our souls. He explains that the purpose of higher education is to make students ask the question of, "what is the Good life?"
