Discussion Kyle sits down with Charlotte Loeppky and Harold Squire to discuss their creation of The Horse and His Boy for the stage for Imagine YYC Theatre opening April 4th and running through April 12th at the Lantern Church in Calgary. Tickets: https://www.ticketor.com/Account/Events?searchTerm=imagine%20theatre About the show: Far away from Narnia, across a vast desert, lies Calormen where the animals don't talk, the rulers are tyrants, and poor boys like Shasta are slaves to mean old fishermen. But when a stranger's mighty warhorse takes a chance and reveals to Shasta that he can talk, Shasta learns that not all is as it seems in Calormen. The Horse and His Boy is a grand tale of mistaken identity, escape, adventure, and self-discovery. Join Imagine Theatre at the historic Lantern Church in Inglewood as we follow Shasta and Bree on their journey to freedom!

Musician Matt Wheeler joins me to talk about Chapters 7-8 of The Horse and His Boy, specifically Shasta among the tombs (ghouls ahoy), and Aravis' adventures. At the end of the hour, he's kind enough to share an original waltzy song about Aravis, inspired by a COVID toilet paper run. (Seriously, it's a great song--if you listen to nothing else, listen to it.) Before that, we talk about the following: The right way (or lack thereof) to pronounce Shasta and Aravis (and Aslan) Ghouls, ghouls, ghouls Cats and tombs Lewis' characterization of Lasarleen and Aravis The Tisroc (may he live forever) Freedom Calormene view of Narnian history Lapsed Bear! And after the song, Chris throws a little bit of shade at English pronunciation of foreign words to make himself feel better about the fact that he's been mispronouncing Aslan all his life. For more of Matt's music, click here. See you in two weeks, when Matt Wheeler will rejoin us to talk about the journey across the desert!

Sorry for the late upload, once again! I've been preparing for the new season! The first episode of Season 5, covering The Horse and His Boy, will be coming out in a few days! See you then, and in the meantime, enjoy some more travels in Glome!

Apologies (again) for the late Saturday upload. Here's Part 7 of our Till We Have Faces series. Enjoy! Stay tuned for the first brand new episode of Season 5. We'll start with The Horse and His Boy on March 4 and update with a new episode every two weeks. --------------------------------------------------------- Original description: If you like this podcast, please give us a review in iTunes!  Also, we'd love to hear from you!  Email us at InklingsVarietyHour@gmail.com.   This week, Chris and Anika discuss Chapters 12 and 13 of Till We Have Faces.  Subjects for discussion include: Santeria and the First Amendment (and also, of course, "Santeria" by Sublime) How Orual-the-author is being changed while telling us about Orual-the-character's refusal to change Possessive love and our tendency to be ruined by strong loves The "ferly" in Middle English literature Is Bardia's fear of the gods practical fear for his safety or fear of the numinous? Orual withholds key evidence! The Fox's theology and soul-houses How true divine nature is foolishness to the Greek and a stumbling block for the Glomian At the end: Various proposals for an '80s fantasy movie based on Till We Have Faces.  (Someone please make a poster of this idea.) Special thanks to my brother Jason Pipkin for the incredible '80s-style synth track used at the end!  Apologies if I overuse it, but I really liked it.  Other music sampled includes: "Our Father" in Aramaic "The Hurrian Hymn" as played by Michael Levy "Santeria," by Sublime "Princes of the Universe," by Queen "Quantum Leap" theme by Mike Post In two weeks, we meet the God of the Mountain!  Talk about numinous and sublime!  

Apologies for the late upload! A new season of The Inklings Variety Hour is coming on Tuesdays in March, starting with The Horse and His Boy.  In the meantime, enjoy this old episode, with one of our first guest-stars, Andrew Lazo, talking about his favorite Lewis book, Till We Have Faces! Original Description: This week, we're talking with Andrew Lazo, author, speaker, and noted Till We Have Faces  and C.S. Lewis scholar.  You can find additional information about Andrew's projects, current and future, at mythoflove.net.  We would like to thank David Bates at Pints with Jack for connecting us with Andrew!  In this episode, Anika, Chris and Andrew discuss some classical and medieval influences on Till We Have Faces, as well as concepts like mortal shame and the way physical and spiritual attitudes alter perception in Lewis' work.  In some ways, this is also a broader view of Till We Have Faces itself, thanks to Andrew's expertise.  Stay tuned for bonus material at the end, where we hear from Andrew about the circumstances of Lewis' writing of Till We Have Faces.  Enjoy the conversation!  We certainly did. Some references in this episode: A Naked Tree, by Joy Davidman   Becoming Mrs. Lewis Over the Rhine (band) Weeping Bay, by Joy Davidman "After Ten Years," from Of Other Worlds by C.S. Lewis Pearl, by the Gawain-poet (Tolkien's translation here)  (Original text here) If you're enjoying The Inklings Variety Hour, drop us a line to tell us so!  You can email us at InklingsVarietyHour@gmail.com.  Also!  Please find us on iTunes and give us a rating if you like us.  Additionally, if you'd ever like to guest star and talk with us about these works (whether you are a scholar or not), we'd love to have you.  If you're listening to this podcast, you are already a kindred spirit, and we would enjoy meeting you.  Just saying.  

Author Jonathan Geltner and newcomer James Lapeyre join Chris to discuss the question that has doubtless kept all of us awake in the pre-dawn hours: Who was more of a Romantic: C.S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkien? Yes, the stakes have never been higher. We also talk generally about how the Inklings' view of their own roles overlapped with (and were influenced by) those of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Romantics. To what extent were the Inklings the real Romantics of their own age? I really enjoyed this conversation. Thanks to both James and Jonathan for coming on the show.  Apologies to all of you for the poor sound quality of my microphone. Also, a little more than halfway through, the Internet goes out--apologies for that, though we do find our footing pretty quickly thereafter. Many, many thanks to James for fixing the sound so that I'm actually intelligible here. Check out his substack at otterhat.substack.com/. Check out Jonathan's at jonathangeltner.substack.com/ I appreciate everyone's patience for this episode! Circumstances have conspired so that I have less time to edit since the semester ended, but I'll keep grinding these out occasionally if you all keep listening! I'll also try to keep putting out the old episodes Saturdays. Also! As always, my wife and I have a Christmas site and a Christmas book. If you're looking for ways to celebrate Advent and Christmas that both engage with the storehouse of tradition available to us--while allowing you and your family to forge your own Christmas traditions, you might find them helpful! The basic premise is that rather than having one day of Christmas (so much pressure!), we spread gift-giving out over the traditional twelve days of Christmas and pair it with reflection and other activities. It's really worked wonderfully for our family. As always, email me at inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com if you have thoughts! And give us a five-star rating on iTunes (why not, it's Christmas) if you like what you hear. Also, I am planning to record on The Horse and His Boy this month (to be released at the beginning of Season 5 in March). If you'd like to join us to talk about it, just let me know!

This week, we discuss two books from the Chronicles of Narnia series. In the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Pevensie children go through a wardrobe and discover a magical world called Narnia that is coated in snow. They are tasked with rescuing a kind faun from the self-proclaimed queen of Narnia, Jadis, who has cursed Narnia to be always winter but never Christmas. The Pevensie children must work together with the residents of Narnia and its high king, Aslan, to end the curse on the land and free its citizens. In The Horse and His Boy, Shasta, a young boy, works together with a talking horse, Bree, to free themselves from their owners and escape to Narnia. On the way, they meet Aravis, a young Tarkheena, and Hwin, a talking mare, who are on a similar mission. Their path through Calormen to Narnia brings them through many obstacles, including a plot to bring war to Archenland and to force a queen of Narnia into an undesired marriage. Join us this week!

In this episode, Devin and Colton discuss C.S. Lewis's book The Horse and His Boy, the fifth book in the Narnian Chronicles. They explore the themes of hope, discipline, and growth in the story. They also discuss the mercurial themes and the appearances of Aslan, the lion. The hosts delve into the urgency and swiftness of the characters' journey and the role of the Pevensies in relation to the story's main characters, Shasta and Avaris. They also explore the parallels between Aslan and the Roman god Mercury, as well as the concept of God's providence and guiding hand in our lives. ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/ ✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes

The Horse and His Boy is book #3 in C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia timeline. Readers meet Bree, a powerful and confident war horse, whose homeland is Narnia, hence the reason he can speak to Shasta, a poor fisherman's boy, on the brink of being sold into slavery. Bree convinces him to escape. When Bree finds out Shasta can't ride he asks him if he can fall. “I suppose anyone can fall,” said Shasta. “I mean can you fall and get up again without crying and mount again and fall again and yet not be afraid of falling?” What a vivid picture of perseverance! Shasta and Bree's path crosses with a princess fleeing from an arranged marriage, Avaris. They start journeying to Narnia together but are separated when Shasta is suddenly mistaken for a prince and whisked away. Meanwhile, Avaris overhears an evil prince plotting to capture Queen Lucy in Narnia and destroy another land along the way. When Avaris and Shasta reunite they ride for all they're worth to alert King Lune of the trouble. Bree says he can run no more and even gives the reason why. “But one of the worst results of being a slave and being forced to do things is that when there is no one to force you anymore you find you have almost lost the power of forcing yourself.” Aslan tells Shasta, “I was the lion…I was the lion who forced you to join Arvais. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the horses the new strength of fear for the last miles so they should read King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat wakeful at midnight to receive you.” Guidance, courage, justice, and forgiveness are some of the impactful themes wonderfully woven through this gripping tale. Won't you join Kate and Sheils as they saddle up for Narnia? Happy Reading dear friends! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/recapbookchat/message

The Faber Sessions #10 Part 7 on The Horse and His Boy from the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, presented by Rick Ganz."Child," said the Lion, "I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own."

Our journey continues towards Christmas with reflections from The Horse and His Boy.

One of the most beloved and quotable scenes in The Chronicles of Narnia is from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, when the children learn that Aslan is a lion, “the Lion, the great Lion.”    "'Ooh' said Susan. 'I'd thought he was a man. Is he—quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion.' 'Safe?' said Mr. Beaver ... 'Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.'"   Though we love the idea that God is not “safe,” we often live as if our safety or comfort marks the boundaries of our relationship with Him. Catechized by bad theology, captivated by our culture's enablement of self-centeredness, or weary of an angry and fractious age, many Christians cannot conceive that God's will for our lives could involve anything unpleasant or uncomfortable.    When it does and our expectations collapse, we wonder if God cares, having conflated God's faithfulness with a painless, placid life of blessing and provision. We are quick to assume that pain or discomfort means that God's will has been thwarted, or that His love and protection have been withdrawn. It's difficult to accept that, rather than a sign of God's absence, the presence of pain could be a sign of His sovereign care.   Throughout The Horse and His Boy, Aslan continually allows fear, hardship, and even physical pain for the main characters. When Shasta, one of the two main humans in the story, is fleeing from his abusive adoptive father on the Narnian horse Bree, a lion chases them through the darkness. Fleeing from the danger, he encounters another rider fleeing from, it seems, another lion. Aravis is also escaping her home on a talking Narnian horse. Their shared fear and confusion bring them together for a journey neither of them could have made without the other.   Later in the story, they're riding as fast as they can to head off a threat to Narnia. Just as Bree claims he can go no faster, a “new” lion closes in on them. Lewis writes,    "His eyes gleamed red and his ears lay back on his skull. And Bree now discovered that he had not really been going as fast—not quite as fast—as he could. Shasta felt the change at once. Now they were going all out." The lion then badly wounds Aravis, before retreating unexpectedly.    Later, Shasta learns the full story. There was only one lion, not many. Aslan was “swift of foot.” Without the fears and the pain, Shasta and Aravis, Bree and Hwin, would have never met; their quest would have failed; the enemy would have been victorious; and Shasta would never have learned who he truly was. The pain wasn't an afterthought on Aslan's part, but a key element in his plan.   None of this implies that pain should be sought out. Pain is never the point of God's plans, any more than it is the purpose of physical exercise. Never pushing ourselves to the point that it hurts means never improving our health. On the other hand, seeking pain is more likely to do harm than to aid our wellbeing.    In and of itself, pain is not good, but it is meaningful. Pain indicates that something is wrong and needs to be addressed. Without pain, we'd never know. In the same way, breaking bad habits of the past requires pushing beyond our comfort levels, through the pain, and onward on the path to full restoration.   Pain is sometimes required to reorient us. What else can turn one away from a debilitating addiction or insatiable sexual impulse? Without discomfort, would we ever give up on our preferred source of “safety” for the faithful and sometimes painful love of God? Whether through sickness or sacrifice, in ending a dream or enduring hostility, we must remember that God's faithfulness is not determined by how well our lives are going. In fact, it is often known only in the hardest things of life.   To deny that God could or would use discomfort for our good is to deny that He is present in our pain. He is. Just as, in His quest to restore the glory of His creation, He did not shrink back from inflicting pain on His dear Son, His love for His people often includes a level of discomfort and pain. In the end, it is part of His work to restore His image bearers to their intended dignity.    As Lewis wrote elsewhere, “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”   This Breakpoint was co-authored by Dr. Timothy Padgett.

In November 2000, Scotty Wentzell was born with a serious congenital heart defect and a chromosomal disorder that causes physical and developmental delays. With the help of his parents, Lisa and Scott, and many organizations specializing in assisting people of many different abilities, Scotty has been able to go on amazing adventures throughout his life. Recently, Lisa co-authored a book with Heidi Bullen named, “A Dog and His Boy, The Adventures of Spillway and Scotty,” detailing the adventures of Scotty's life with his stuffed dog, Spillway. Listen to this episode to learn more about spreading a message of inclusion and acceptance through storytelling and book talks.   4:00 – Scott describes Scotty's birth.   8:08 – Scotty shares a message.   9:01 – Lisa explains how Spillway and Scotty met and how Spillway got his name.   11:33 – Scotty says how much he has enjoyed being on the book tour.   12:14 – Lisa talks about her career.   15:37 – Lisa explains how her mindset shifted to start writing “A Dog and His Boy” and sharing their story.  19:28 – Heidi shares how she got involved with “A Dog and His Boy.”  22:29 – Scott talks about what it has been like to watch Lisa and Heidi on their journey of writing this book.   26:46 – Scott shares his hopes for the book.   30:03 – Scott provides some details on the song that has been written about Scotty and Spillway.   32:10 – Heidi describes what it has been like doing book talks.   36:11 – Lisa reads a testimonial:  “Today was an absolute top moment of my career. It was one of those days that has proven I am doing exactly what I'm supposed to, where I'm supposed to, surrounded by the most amazing staff and students. We were able to create an environment where all our intensive needs students were accepted and successfully together to listen to an incredible story of friendship and acceptance for a full hour. We even got to share the story with our mainstream classes thanks to the power of technology. Inclusion matters. Everyone go out and support the amazing Lisa Wentzell, Scotty and Spillway. They have left a long-lasting impression on us and are the absolute sweetest.”  38:14 – Lisa, Scott and Heidi share some resources that have been helpful for them.     Quotes   “The kids just really take to Scotty and that's the whole point. We want them to be comfortable with Scotty. We want them to be comfortable with people like Scotty and not be afraid to go up to them and make a friend, have a friendship, so all the positive stuff that comes out of this makes you want to go back for more.” – Lisa Wentzell  “One of the ways we found out about a lot of the activities and organizations that we've engaged with, with Scotty is through other parents, other families and word of mouth. As much as we wanted to tell Scotty's story, we also wanted to shine a light on those organizations and let other families who might be in a similar position know that there is support out there, there are ways to do all these amazing activities no matter what your child's ability may be.” – Scott Wentzell   “I think the most important thing that we can do as educators is to teach children how important it is to include everybody, to make sure everybody belongs, to make sure you have empathy and you understand what other people are going through. I think as educators and us being able to go share this book with so many people and touching those lives of the children when they're young just makes for better human beings.” – Heidi Bullen     Links:   Listen to Karl Stand's episode on The PR Maven Podcast to hear more about Sugarloaf    Claudia Diller: https://www.claudiadiller.com/index.htm   Central Maine Power: https://www.cmpco.com/   Equip for Living Foundation: https://www.equipforliving.org/   Maine Adaptive Sports and Recreation: https://www.maineadaptive.org/   Special Olympics: https://www.specialolympics.org/   Best Buddies Maine: https://www.bestbuddies.org/maine/   Riding to the Top Therapeutic Riding Center: https://www.ridingtothetop.org/   Pine Tree Camp: https://pinetreesociety.org/camp-home/pinetreecamp/   Portland Wheelers: https://portlandwheelers.org/   Special Surfers: https://www.specialsurfer.org/   The Woodshed at Kennebec Cabin Company: https://thewoodshedmaine.com/   The Studio: https://thestudioportland.com/     About the guests:      Lisa and Scott Wentzell moved to Maine full-time in 1993 when they both took jobs at Sugarloaf.

While Disney is embroiled in the culture wars and litigation with the state of Florida, another entertainment alternative is coming into its own; one that holds to the foundational faith values that built America, perhaps the values the Disney brand used to have. It's called The Logos Theater. And it's not just stage productions, but also a film studio and a conservatory that's part of its umbrella organization, The Academy of the Arts based in Taylor, South Carolina. Logos is Greek for 'Word'. Theologically its meaning is far richer and deeper. Logos is The "Principle of divine reason and creative order, identified in the gospel of John with the second person of the Trinity incarnate in Jesus Christ." When John's Gospel opens with, "In the beginning was the Word..." it's actually the Logos. Not just God's Word, but His "Created order". The stage productions include larger than life puppets they create, like Aslan, the Lion from C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." There are horses that can be ridden for their production of "A Horse and His Boy", which will be on stage at the Museum of the Bible in Washington. D.C. this summer. And a scary figure known as "Dark Despair" from "Pilgrim's Progress". On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, listen to the theater's artistic director Nicole Stratton and Master Puppeteer Justin Swain talk passionately about this ministry in the arts they believe God has raised for such a time as this.

Oh yes! Let's dive into the world of C.S. Lewis and The Chronicles of Narnia. We try not to get too nerdy, but let's be real, we can't help ourselves. We discuss the themes, characters, and overall awesomeness of this classic series, and offer some insights on how it can deepen our understanding of faith and spirituality, including the parallels between Aslan and Jesus. So join us as we journey through the magical world of Narnia and explore the deeper truths that it reveals.We are discussing at-length the Chronicles of Narnia which can be read in two orders: Chronological: 1.) The Magician's Nephew2.) The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe3.) The Horse and His Boy 4.) Prince Caspian5.) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 6.) The Silver Chair 7.) The Last Battle Order of Publication:1.) The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe 2.) Prince Caspian3.) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 4.) The Silver Chair 5.) The Horse and His Boy6.) The Magician's Nephew 7.) The Last Battle A young fan in 1957 had a dispute with his mother saying he wanted to read them chronologically and his mother preferred publication order. This fan wrote to Lewis who sent this reply:“I think I agree with your order for reading the books more than with your mother's. The series was not planned beforehand as she thinks. When I wrote The Lion I did not know I was going to write any more. Then I wrote P. Caspian as a sequel and still didn't think there would be any more, and when I had done The Voyage I felt quite sure it would be the last. But I found as I was wrong. So perhaps it does not matter very much in which order anyone read them.”But it's worth noting that order of publication will introduce you to Aslan first as the Pevensie children met him: a mystery, a wonder yet a kind and good ruler who is capable of reversing death. If you read Magician's Nephew first, you miss this experience. Also referenced in this episode: Mere Christianity The Space Trilogy (Including That Hideous Strength)Planet Narnia by Michael Ward For our many friends in Brazil, here's a link to the books in Portuguese. For more information on this podcast, visit fellowshipknox.org/podcastsYou can also e-mail questions or topic ideas to offstage@fellowshipknox.org
