For Narnia and For Aslan

There's nothing like listening to bloopers to make you realize how thankful you are for editing! During these Bethy can't remember lyrics, Katie's phone cuts out, and there are many struggles with mispronunciations. It's been a fun season and we're looking forward to the next!

Bethy and Katie talk through Bree needing 5 minutes, how great it is to finally refer to Corin as Shasta's brother - I mean, Cor's brother, and break down Bethy's fear that maybe nothing will come of her hard work. They also do a readers theater and bring 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 into the conversation. 

Katie and Bethy discuss how the portrayal of war is different in this book compared to the others, how nice it is that Lewis has the freedom to write whatever he wants, and wonder how old Edmund is in this story. They also practice florilegia and read Matthew 23:5-12. 

With chapter 12 we compare Shasta's and Corin's characters, enjoy dwarf names, and celebrate Shasta's cup running over (finally!). We also practice Ignatian Spirituality and take a look at Matthew 11:28-30.

With chapter 11 we hit the emotional climax of the book with Aslan's incredible conversation with Shasta, read through a bunch of "I am" passages (Exodus 3:14, John 14:6, John 15:5, John 11:25, John 8:12, John 6:35, John 8:58, and Revelation 1:8), and practice Lectio Divina. 

We forgot to read out the chapter number and title with this episode. Oops! This, as we are sure you know, is chapter 10, The Hermit of the Southern March. With this chapter Bethy and Katie discuss Shasta's heroism, and how Bethy both would like to grow up to be the Hermit and struggles to decide between a big, selfless life and a small, selfish life. We read Hebrews 11:8-16 and practice havruta as well.

If you'd like to do us a favor, leave a review for us on Apple Podcasts - we'd be so grateful!

Katie and Bethy discuss the forced formality between father and son found in chapter 8 of The Horse and His Boy as well as Lewis' bold choices as a writer and Bethy's fear of materialism. We also read Habakkuk 2:2-14 and practice PaRDaS.
