Your life probably doesn't feel like a great story. It feels like a series of days — some meaningful, most just busy — without a clear arc or destination. That's what happens when the frame is too small.
The Venerable Bede spent his entire life in a single monastery in Northumbria. He almost never left. And from that cell, he told a story so large it made a nation. This episode asks what Bede knew that we've forgotten: the imagination isn't decoration. It's formation. The story you're living inside shapes everything you see, everything you endure, and everything you make. And it can be widened.
This is the season finale of our Spring 2026 series on eucatastrophe. It's also a beginning.
