Listen Later

WELCOME BACK! Thank you for being patient with that unforeseen hiatus and for returning for this super podcast episode! Today we are joined by an incredible guest! She owns multiple businesses, hosts her own podcast: “ExploreMore Podcast,” has two adorable daughters, and is my oldest sister! I was so excited to have Haley Cottey on the podcast to talk about the Hero’s Journey as seen in the Avenger’s and the life of Jesus.

Hero’s Journey

Ever notice that every blockbuster movie has the same fundamental pieces? A hero, a journey, some conflicts to muck it all up, a reward, and the hero returning home and everybody applauding his or her swag? Yeah, scholar Joseph Campbell noticed first—in 1949. He wrote The Hero with a Thousand Faces, in which he outlined the 17 stages of a mythological hero's journey.

When researching the Hero’s Journey you may find different steps, names for steps, and slight variations in the order. Here is an outline of what we discuss in this episode:

  • Ordinary World
  • Call to Adventure
  • Refusal of the Call
  • Supernatural Aid
  • Meeting the Mentor
  • Crossing the Threshold
  • Tests, Allies, Enemies, Road of Trials
  • Approach to the Inmost Cave
  • Meeting the Goddess/Woman as Temptress
  • Ordeal
  • Reward (Seizing the Sword)
  • The Road Back
  • Resurrection
  • Return With the Elixir/Crossing the Return Threshold
  • Master of Two worlds
