What we’re doing here doesn’t work without the time, talent, and treasure of people like you. In case you missed any of it, here are some recent podcasts to enjoy and upcoming events to put on your calendar!
From paintings to novels, titles can guide expectations of viewers and readers, for good or for ill. Join the hosts at the roundtable as they talk about titles — and “untitles” and subtitles and more — and see how you handle Mandy’s genre quiz!
Too often, the broader culture portrays Christians as narrow-minded hypocrites. We can all imagine plenty of explanations for this. But that leads to a more fundamental question. Why is it so hard to create a character who is both: (1) well-developed and compelling, and (2) a sincere Christian?
Join Brian, Sarah, Christina, and Amy as they explore ways to live well in seasons of winter.
Ever feel like there was a band, tv show, or book that you were “supposed” to hate? Like hating it was required to prove you’re cool and sophisticated? When Matt was in college, that band was Nickelback. And he’s wondered why ever since…
Join Brian, Sarah, and Christina as they explore the impact of great stories on our lives and faith.
The hosts discuss whether we should expect children’s animation to be serious art. They do this primarily by analyzing some of their favorite animated films.
Artists need solitude to create (or “conjure”), but we need one another too. Mandy and Matt and Christina discuss finding a balance between these seemingly contradictory needs.
Dr. Michael Ward uses various writings of C.S. Lewis as literary illumination to help us understand joy and tears even more deeply.
Chase Whitney emphasizes the significance of tears as a uniquely human experience, and discusses how joy and tears can make room for each other as we seek God in our lives.
Join us for Dr. Vander Lugt’s lecture titled “Gritty Hope and the Gift of the Art: From Sentimentality to Eucatastrophe.”
What is the true impact of beauty? How is it essential to a life of faith? Join us to discuss by the fireside!
At the Celtic Pub Night, we’ll journey together to Ireland, with stories and poems filled with magic, hearty food and drink, and lots of singing.
