Narnia has fallen under tyranny, the old stories are nearly forgotten—and Aslan is silent. Or is He?Joining me is singer-songwriter Thomas Austin, whose music is shaped by story, longing, and truth. Together, we explore the deep themes of Prince Caspian: waiting in faith, remembering rightly, and what it means to lead with humility. 🎵🌌. You can find Thomas Austin's music here.PLUS—we’re sipping on Caspian’s Woods, a rich and earthy Narnian tea blend crafted to match the mood of Telmarine forests and the hope of Aslan’s return. 🍵🌿 It’s one of several limited-edition Narnian blends we’ll share more about in the episode!

For our special Halloween episode, we’re diving into the sinister world of C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters —and we’re bringing in a special guest, Rev. Brian McGreevy, to guide us through the shadows! Written during the turmoil of World War II, Lewis crafted this satirical and chilling tale to explore the subtle ways in which evil infiltrates everyday life. Together with Rev. McGreevy, we explore not just the chilling strategies of Screwtape and Wormwood, but also the habits and practices that can protect us from such spiritual pitfalls. We chat about the fascinating way architecture can point us to Heaven, the best way to read and absorb these letters, and speculate on what future Screwtape Letters might address in our modern world. With key excerpts and haunting insights, this episode is the perfect blend of spooky and thought-provoking. So, dim the lights, brew a cup of something warm, and join us for a journey into temptation’s darkest corners. You can find Rev. McGreevy's letter by letter podcast of The Screwtape Letters at this link.
