Exploring C. S. Lewis' 1948 article "Some Thoughts" where he explores the Christian paradox — that Christianity is both a world-affirming and world-denying religion. In this episode, we focus on the world-denying aspects of the faith. We see that because Christianity has both sides of the paradox, things like fasting or celibacy should be practiced differently in Christianity than in every other religion and ideology.

NOTE: Our first part of this essay is found a few episodes earlier S2E12 Christmas 2 — "Some Thoughts" (Part 1)

For a visual on the absurd rabbit trail Jordan and Sean start off the show with, as well as devotional connection Jordan draws between Zombies and C. S. Lewis, see this link to a video Jordan made after he had some thoughts of his own.
