Join us as Matt and Mandy battle it out to determine which book is better -- The Great Gatsby, or To Kill a Mockingbird.

Author Jennifer Layte is a firm believer in the power of story to draw us closer to Jesus and closer to an understanding of who we are. Join Mandy and Jenn at the pub table as they discuss story, nicknames, and Jenn's latest book, Follower: How Getting Close to Jesus Brings You to Yourself.
Mandy asks her cohosts to consider: why do some of us gravitate toward sad art when we're already sad? What is the purpose and value of art that's a little bit (or very much) heartbreaking?
John Hendrix creates graphic novels that beautifully blend prose and illustrations to tell complex stories. His latest work, The Mythmakers, delves into a subject near and dear to the heart of the Anselm Society: the friendship of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien.
How “Encanto” opens our eyes to finding the Great Story in daily life.
Sarah Hendricks is the author of a new YA fantasy novel called Ella. What’s encompassed by the term “YA Fantasy”? What are its different niches and sub-genres? And why does it have such enduring popularity with so many readers? Sarah Hendricks has the answers.
We know there's "nothing new under the sun," but must there be so many TV shows with a first responder, life-or-death, emergency services premise? Why are writers and viewers drawn to these stories--and what differentiates those worth saving from those that ought to be DOA?
Join us for a hands-on art workshop led by Anselm Guild artist Lisa Nowak at the beautiful Rock Ledge Ranch.
Continuing an Anselm Society tradition, we’ll gather a couple dozen people to enjoy reading a Shakespeare play together (“Twelfth Night”).
Join us for an evening of songs, stories, short skits, poetry, and s’mores around the campfire.
Join like-minded friends, tea cup in hand, for a genial conversation about Anselm’s summer theme and ordinary time.
True to hobbit tradition,
we're offering not just
one meal, but a full weekend
of feasting—on food, fellowship,
and the fruits of imagination.
