Jordan got a hair cut. Stephen thinks Christian is being interviewed for church membership and (if you stick around to the very end) Harry has a fun fact. In this portion of The Pilgrim's Progress, Christian is welcomed into the house by Watchful the Porter and questioned by his four daughters... Discretion, Piety, Prudence and Charity.

The House Beautiful is in full view, but Christian has to make it past the lions. The Porter encourages from the door and Stephen, Harry & Jordan consider how to get past the lions, what the house is and whether Jordan understands that he's making a Star Wars reference.

This episode we make our way up the hill of difficulty, rest a wee bit and hurry up to the top - only to bump into Mistrust and Timorous and realise that scroll the angel gave at cross is missing!

This episode of the Pilgrims' Podcast we're joined once again by retired PCI minister, Noel Agnew as we discuss Christian's conversation with Formalist and Hypocrisy. You might remember Noel from our live episode last summer 004 The Slough of Despond (Live with Noel Agnew). Noel's favourite part of the Pilgrim's Progress is the hill to cross which we discussed in episode 012 At The Cross (with RefToons’ Paul Cox).

The pilgrimage has picked up again! We're back on the road. And, lo! Three sleeping fellows by the roadside. And NO, it's not Stephen, Jordan and Harry! We also discuss how this allegorical classic has influenced Jordan's preaching, and ways in which watching Star Wars is like starting a new Bible Reading programme. 

---But to cut through all that nonsense and get straight to the book discussion jump to 08:31 .

This episode we are joined by Paul Cox, co-author (with his wife - & John Bunyan, himself) of The Pilgrim’s Progress: A Poetic Journey! Paul is also the man behind the pen of RefToons. We discuss what it takes to adapt an allegorical classic, what will happen to Paul’s least favourite chicken, and Stephen, Jordan & Harry geek out on their favourite RefToons comics. Plus we hit the road again with Christian, having said goodbye to the Interpreter’s House, we ascend the road to the Cross. We even learn a few words on the way.
