- S2E6 Mythic Mission: "I Wonder What Sort of a Tale We've Fallen Into?": An Interview with Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson
Hello everyone! Welcome to S2E6 of Mythic Mission with Professor Michael Jahosky, a podcast which explores J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis's understanding of myth as "grand narrative" and its relationship with various disciplines of the Humanities from a Christian perspective. On today’s show, I am interviewing Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson who is the Louise Cowan Scholar in Residence at the University of Dallas. She is the author of several books, but most recently, The Scandal of Holiness: Renewing Your Imagination in the Company of Saints. She has received numerous fellowships, grants, and awards, including a Fulbright Fellowship to the Czech Republic, an NEH grant to study Dante in Florence in 2014, and the Biola Center for Christian Thought sabbatical fellowship. In 2018 she received the Emerging Public Intellectual Award given by a coalition of North American think tanks in collaboration with the Centre for Christian Scholarship at Redeemer University College, and in 2019 she received the Hiett Prize in Humanities from The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture.

41 min - "He Descended to the Dead...On the Third Day he Rose from the Dead": Mythic Mission Holy Week 2022
In this special Holy Week 2022 Mythic Mission episode, I once again return to the topic of Holy Saturday (with visual aids this time!) and explore what it means that Jesus "descended to the dead." Then, I address the argument that Easter, like Christmas, is a pagan holiday that the Church borrowed from surrounding pagan cultures/myths and finish with a lesson on the relationship between the true myth of Jesus Christ and all the others.

1 hr 2 min - S2E3: "The King Lives Within Us All": J.R.R. Tolkien and the Issue of Allegory, Dedicated to my Aunt Dale"The King lives within all of us!" My Aunt Dale wrote this to me in one of the many emails we sent back and forth over the last few years about my book. She then went on to say that my book helps you understand how we are all "made in the image of God." This episode is dedicated to my Aunt Dale who just passed away on Ash Wednesday of 2022 after a heroic battle with cancer. I took today off to pray, read, reflect, and grieve, and to be there for my Mom, who was very close with her little sister. She and I got to talk yesterday and today at length and I've been able to share so much about what my Aunt Dale wrote me with my Mom that she didn't even know about. I hope the rest of my Capozzoli and Jahosky family will learn a little more about my relationship with my Aunt Dale, too. It's funny, in one of the emails she sent, she mentioned she was still reading through my book but it was "dense," and I knew what section she was referring to (Chapter 1!). She still toughed it out and read it, and she always had nothing but the kindest and most supportive words to say. I got the sense she didn't want to hurt my feelings (she didn't), but she wanted to tell me that part was hard to understand! Amen to that. It was the hardest part of writing my book. I know she probably could've benefited from hearing some of this sooner, but I know for certain she can still hear it, so Aunt Dale, I hope this sets some of the technical stuff straight (even if I still have to wade through a lot of terms!). Today's episode was a catharsis for me and it helped me grieve and remember all the wonderful memories I have of her from my childhood, mine and Sarah's wedding (she and her husband had some awesome dance moves!!), and our long correspondence. She was so proud of my book and this podcast. Aunt Dale, you are so missed, and we love you. We know you will get a new body and we will see you again one day.My Aunt Dale wrote this about my book, sending out a big email to our family..."Boy oh boy, I have I’ve been enjoying this fabulous book by our wonderful family member, Michael T. Jahosky — “The Good News of the Return of the King: The Gospel in Middle-earth”. Michael has worked for five years to produce this work, and it is fabulous in every way"www.mythicmission.comwww.patreon.com/mythicmission1 hr 38 min
