CS Lewis: From Atheism to Aslan

A Nation Divided by Screens

What happens when a society no longer shares a common cultural experience? In this episode, we explore the collapse of America’s once-unifying culture and how the rise of smartphones and social media has fragmented communities into isolated digital worlds. We examine the impact on relationships, mental health, and meaningful dialogue, while reflecting on a time when life was lived together, not apart. Join us as we challenge listeners to reclaim real connection and lead their families away from screen time and toward purposeful living.

CS Lewis: From Atheism to Aslan

How does a committed atheist become one of Christianity’s greatest defenders? In this episode, we trace the life of C.S. Lewis—from childhood tragedy and the trenches of World War I to Oxford halls, the Inklings, and his reluctant conversion to faith in Christ. We explore how longing, imagination, and Lewis' friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien reshaped his worldview and fueled enduring works like Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Chronicles of Narnia. Finally, we reflect on why Aslan still points readers to the "deeper magic" of the Gospel. Reference(s): Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis C.S.

Antisemitism in a Modern World

Why does hatred toward the Jewish people keep resurfacing throughout history? In this episode, we examine modern antisemitism on the political left and right, its theological beginnings within the Church, and what Scripture actually teaches about Israel and God’s covenant. We conclude by calling Christians to reject hatred, think biblically, and lovingly point Jewish people to their Messiah, Jesus Christ.

I, Robot or I, Human?

Could artificial intelligence (AI) reshape humanity—or erase it? In this episode, we unpack the promises and perils of AI, from deepfakes and social credit systems to the threat of lost creativity and transhumanist ambitions. Discover why AI must remain a tool, not a master, and how Christians can respond to this technology with wisdom and discernment.

The Era of My Truth

How do you share truth in a world where feelings outweigh facts? In this episode, we explore the rise of "post-truth" culture, its impact on dialogue and belief, and why Christianity remains both true and good. Join us as we discuss practical ways to engage skeptics with grace, reason, and confidence. Reference(s): Jesus Skeptic by John S. Dickerson
