For Narnia and For Aslan

With Chapter 12 of Prince Caspian Katie and Bethy discuss how Lewis writes of battles, how very different this chapter is compared to the rest of the series, and how Bethy has packing anxiety. They also dive into the fruits of the spirit from Galatians 5:19-26 and practice Ignatian Spirituality. 

We return to Prince Caspian and our regular episodes this week! Katie and Bethy are thrilled to be recording together again and with chapter 11 they discuss wine, weddings, what Susan's fears could be, and the meaning behind gift giving. They also read John 2:1-11, and practice Lectio. 

With Bethy out sick we weren't able to return to Prince Caspian quite yet, but we are so excited to do so starting next week. Until then, Katie is back and she brings with her a follow up poem about the thieving fairy! 

As we wrap up our little season of minisodes Bethy reads one more poem as well as a C.S. Lewis quote on love.

Spoiler alert!!! This episode is all about Susan Pevensie - the wonderful, the misunderstood, the strong, the gentle. However, we do chat about the last book of the series quite a bit, so please skip ahead in those parts of the conversation if you've never read it. With Jenn Rudsit, a passionate Susan Pevensie advocate, there is discussion on the ways Lewis and society teach us to look down on femininity, what we can learn from Susan, and we even have some lipstick recommendations. 

What would the long-term repercussions of being raised like Caspian be? What's going on psychologically with the Pevensies when they flit in and out of our world and Narnia? How do we cultivate childlike faith in a world that is calling us to do more and more? Which character does this psychologist connect with most in the series? These questions and more are discussed with PHD Kevin Mack!

This week we have two messages - one from Chris and one from Bethy's mom!

We are entering wedding season and therefore minisode season too! Bethy explains what the plan is for the next two months and then reads a poem she wrote this week.

Here's the link to Katie's wedding registry if you'd like to send a gift her way as she starts her marriage with Manoj! (To be very clear, you are loved, but this is NOT an invitation to the wedding, just an invitation to support them with their registry... Thanks for understanding!)

Katie and Bethy discuss trees dancing as well as some difficulty in a ballroom dance class, how awesome Lucy's time with Aslan is (He is just the BEST!), how much bravery it takes to relay an unwelcome message, and the beautiful details in chapter 10 of Lewis' Prince Caspian. We also compare this chapter with 1 Sam. 3:1-11 and practice Florilegia.

With chapter 9 Bethy and Katie dive into injustice, trusting our plans verses trusting God's plans, practice PaRDaS, discuss dieting, and read Proverbs 3:5-6.
