For Narnia and For Aslan

This week as we read Chapter 11 of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, we have a special guest join us - Bethy's sister, Alli! Together Katie, Bethy, and Alli discuss Edmund's growth, the winter storms in Texas this year, anxiety, and finding hope in spring. Also, nearly freezing to death and being traumatized by spending time with a witch is terrible and all, but have you tried putting chains on your car tires? 

Finally, we read in a round and take a look at Psalm 30:5. 

Thanks for joining us Alli!

In this episode Katie and Bethy discuss gender roles in Narnia and in our own world, how battles are, in fact, always ugly affairs, what Tolkien thought of Father Christmas, and how both Jesus and Aslan begin their ministry with celebration. We take a look at John 2:1-11, and practice Ignatian Spirituality as well.

With Chapter 9 of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, we discuss the power of thought, how impressive it is that Edmund continues through the snow despite all of Narnia attempting to stop him, and practice floralegia. We also take a look at two scripture passages - Proverbs 23:6-7 and Philippians 4:8.

With chapter 8 of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, we discuss how Peter shines in this chapter, inspiring us to do better. There is also discussion of Aslan's appearance compared to Jesus' appearance and how something can be not safe, but good at the same time. We also practice Lectio Divina and read Luke 15:8-10.

Bethy and Katie read through chapter 7 of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe thinking about hospitality, what beavers actually eat, and inclusive pronouns, while also taking a look at Hebrews 13:2 and practicing reframing a text.

With Chapter 6 of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Bethy and Katie discuss Peter's disappointment, Lucy's willingness to forgive (classic Lucy!), and ask when Jesus has ever said, "Follow me, it's gonna be really comfortable!" We also practice Havruta and take a look at Matthew 25:31-40.

Katie and Bethy discuss moments of choosing to be your worst self, the idea of "liar, lunatic, Lord," and the importance of Christian community. They also dive into John 6:56-66, and read for fourfold meaning.

In reading chapter 4 of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Katie and Bethy discover manipulation, and mantras, and discuss how we require the Holy Spirit's help to get out of cycles of temptation. We also do an Ignatian Spirituality practice and read 1 John 4:1-6.

With Chapter 3 of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Katie and Bethy practice florilegia, discuss Edmund's relatable spitefulness, and wonder who in our world asks us, "Is that how you address a queen?" They also take a look at Proverbs 12:19 and see what wisdom it can offer us in light of this chapter. 

Bethy and Katie discuss ethics, forgiveness (Lucy is so good at it!), and how much one can learn about a person from their bookshelf. With chapter 2 of Lewis' The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, we read Romans 6:19-23, practice PaRDaS, and we also revisit the ever important question of umbrellas in the snow.
