For Narnia and For Aslan

With chapter 5 of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Katie and Bethy compare the storm in this chapter to one found in scripture, see some growth in Eustace (but not much), practice Ignatian Spirituality, and take a look at Mark 4:35-41. 

Katie and Bethy discuss Caspian's clear-eyed confidence, the plethora of biblical references this chapter holds, and the complications of morality. They also practice fourfold reading and take a look at Isaiah 61:1-3.

With chapter 3 of The Voyage of The Dawn Treader, Bethy and Katie discuss the horrific slave trade that is found in the Lone Islands, discuss the often quoted but seldom fully examined Jeremiah 29, and practice one of our best havrutas ever.  

With chapter 2 of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader we discuss Eustace's delusions, pacifism, and the ways Caspian has grown. We also read the Message version of Proverbs 10:1-11, and practice PaRDaS.

Stumbling over words, deciding mid-recording what we should talk about, both of this season's guests featured (thanks again, Kevin and Jenn!) - this blooper reel has it all! More than anything it will remind us that we are grateful for editing. Enjoy!

As we take one last look at Prince Caspian as a whole, we wonder if it is all about preserving old ways, or rebirth, and we discuss Peter's logic and Edmund's leadership. We also read Deut. 26:1-11 and Jer. 31:1-4 with the themes of story, war, dance, and trees in mind, and practice florilegia. Bethy's main takeaway is the power of memory and Katie's is the reminder that things don't have to go the expected way. 

Thank you so much for joining us in our exploration of Prince Caspian! We loved it and can't wait to get started with The Voyage of The Dawn Treader on August 24th!

With the final chapter of Prince Caspian, Katie and Bethy wonder how it can be that God and the world are actually affected by prayer, discuss Reepicheep's new tail and the taste of tree chocolate vs. gravel, read Luke 14:11, and practice florilegia. 

Katie's microphone is on the fritz - sorry about that! We'll be getting her a new one for the coming season. 

This two-part chapter sends Bethy and Katie all directions in their conversation - from heads rolling away from Peter's sword, to imposter syndrome, to women and men being honored in such different ways, to a river in chains! They also read a section of Isaiah 55 and practice a virtually bridge-free PaRDaS. 

We'd love to hear from you! Our email address is [email protected].

Katie and Bethy have way too much fun with chapter 13's pedantic posturing and attempt to mimic it as a sacred practice. We also talk about Narnia's calendar, thank you notes, and Lewis' surprising theme of laughter at the expense of others while also taking a look at 1st Timothy 4:12.
