A New Year's Encouragement Jan 02, 2021

Show notes

#14 - Welcome back to the show! After a very long break, I wanted to share some encouragement for the year ahead, and provide a bit of a different perspective on the idea of a "New Year".

C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man, Chapter 1 Oct 31, 2020

Show notes

#13 - Welcome back to the show! Today, we are diving into a great (and very short) book by one of the world's greatest writers of all time, C.S. Lewis! Not only was he a great thinker on relevant world issues, but he was also an influential theologian who helped Christians frame spiritual and philosophical issues more clearly.

Lewis's The Abolition of Man is essentially a "defense of universal values", and it's a formidable argument against relativistic thinking. It goes very deep, so put on your thinking caps and buckle up for a fun ride!

Here is a link to this book on Amazon.com:

The Abolition of Man

Today we are discussing only chapter one, but come back next time for chapter 2 of The Abolition of Man!
