  • E5 - C.S. Lewis and the Great Divorce of Heaven and Hell
    Mar 8 2025

    In this episode, we invite you to look at heaven and hell through the eyes of C.S. Lewis. The Great Divorce presents a somewhat bizarre but deeply insightful “imaginary supposal,” where Lewis imagines what it might look like for a person to choose hell over heaven.

    The story shows personal examples of how a person’s thoughts and choices can shape their eternity—and the tension between the self-centered nature of hell and the liberating joy of heaven.

    But The Great Divorce isn’t just a reflection of the consequences of rejecting heaven; it is also a beautiful and hopeful invitation to choose transformation, freedom, and the love of God. The hope that even those who are stuck in darkness can find redemption and salvation in the light of heaven is woven throughout the narrative. It’s a powerful reminder that no matter how far we’ve fallen, the possibility of redemption is always within reach.

  • E4 - A King Arthur Sampler: Legends and History
    Mar 4 2025

    Dedicated to David. This episode was a labor of love as the story of Arthur spans centuries and countless books. Combine that with regional and oral stories passed down over time AND academic and archaeological research, there's always more to go!

    Most people know 'a little bit' about King Arthur. We hope this sampling of history and stories about the Once and Future King helps you better understand how much more there is to his tale and gives you a glimpse of the wonderful expanse of stories associated with Arthur.

    While what's told about Arthur changes over time, it's important to hold on to the light and the good of stories told before as well. The legend of King Arthur was, and still is, a truly good story.
