Storytime with Sophie: The Princess and the Goblin (w/Mez Blume)

S2: E6: Time

In this episode, we talk a bit about time from the perspective of a child. For children, time seems to work differently than for adults. Perhaps it is because it stretches out so far ahead of them or perhaps it is for another reason altogether, but children seem able to stop and enjoy moments without feeling the need to plan or rush about on a schedule. Our goal at Tikvah is to find hope by exploring the Lord's heart for his people and his world.

Storytime with Sophie: The Princess and the Goblin (w/Mez Blume)

Today, I'm chatting with author (and all around wise human) Mez Blume about one of her favorite stories..."The Princess and the Goblin." I ask her questions about George MacDonald tackles wonder and skepticism through his stories (especially this one!) and how we can learn from his wise words. It's an epic conversation for an epic tale. 250/10 an incredible read.

Storytime with Sophie: Harry Potter

We're back for another storytime with Sophie! This time, I explore the deeply true and profound themes found across all seven books of Harry Potter. We'll look at how Rowling deals with death, love, sacrifice, fate, and more...and ultimately, I think, we'll discover that Harry Potter resonates with our hearts because it reflects the truth of our own story...the story of our whole world. 10/10 an incredible series!

S2: Ep 5: Mystery

In this episode, we talk about mystery. Mystery has been something we, as a culture, have shied away from since the Enlightenment. However, mystery in the world is unavoidable. We simply can't understand everything. We argue that it's worthwhile and good to embrace the mystery around us, and rest in our trust of the Lord, who stands above and outside of the mystery. Children seem often to have an easier time rejoicing in mystery and pursuing a joyous curiosity. We want to approach the world in the same way. Our goal at Tikvah is to find hope by exploring the Lord's heart for his people and his world.

S2: Ep 4: Friendship

In this episode, we talk about friendship! We ask why friendship exists and is a good thing, what true friendship looks like (especially through the eyes of a child), and how friendship is intricately tied to hope. Friendship isn't easy, but it's a beautiful and incredible gift that floods our life with value, purpose, challenge, joy, and hope!
