September 26, 2020 (Re-Post) 2019 Douglas Gresham Interview
IN THIS REPEAT: Here's an interview I did with the stepson of C.S. Lewis at the end of 2019.
~~~~~
Back in 2013, I did my first interview with Douglas Gresham (stepson of C.S. Lewis). What follows is a new conversation I had with him that occurred in early November 2019 at an event hosted by the Presbyterian Heritage Center at their International Symposium on C. S. Lewis. The reason for the delay in my posting of it is I only received a copy of it less than a week ago. There are two things to note about this interview. One, it had already been established prior to the interview that there was not anything new to report about the progress of the deal with Netflix, and secondly, there had already been a general interview with him by Dr. Don King earlier at the event (see link below to watch it). The focus of my conversation was mostly on the Narnia books and films.

September 13, 2020 (Re-Post) Preacher Lewis - 75 (80+) Years Later (William O'Flaherty)
IN THIS REPEAT: I have this talk in 2014 when it was the 75th anniversary of the first sermon that Lewis preached.

The following is not an interview, but a talk that I recently gave in TN at the C.S. Lewis Society of Chattanooga. The topic is about when Lewis spoke at church. He gave his first sermon 75 years ago…the debut was in 1939. I provide an overview of what we know about the times he preached and greater details about his first, last, and best messages.
