Rev. Steve Pearson

In this week's episode, we dive into J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, exploring five profound themes that illuminate the human experience. We'll journey with Frodo, a humble hobbit, as he leaves the safety of the Shire to confront daunting challenges, reflecting the hero's journey we all face when stepping into the unknown. We'll examine the all-seeing eye of Sauron, a chilling symbol of totalitarian control, and its warnings about surveillance and loss of freedom in our modern world. We'll uncover the empowering truth that even the seemingly insignificant can change the world, echoing the call to “pick up your cross and bear it.” We'll discuss the idea that “not all those who wander are lost,” celebrating the winding paths to self-discovery, and explore how we must decide what to do with “the time we have been given,” embracing agency in life's unpredictable circumstances.Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that connects Tolkien's epic vision to today's challenges, offering timeless insights into courage, purpose, and the enduring fight for hope and humanity.I trust that this episode, will prove beneficial to you, your loved ones, and the broader world. As always, I will be sharing several thought-provoking concepts for you to ponder and apply in real-life scenarios in the upcoming days. For those feeling adventurous, there will also be a challenge awaiting your participation!All the love, all the power, all of the time!If you'd like to support the podcast, follow this link: https://linktr.ee/w.salskiTo join the Team: https://tr.ee/JointheTeamInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unusual.stories_podcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@unusual.stories_podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVS_TlmYUm4m6DEx2WLv37gX: https://x.com/wojsalskiPrimal.net: @wspodcastLink to the book on Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/0edqqNcRelated Episodes: "Gulag Archipelago" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6lQKODOvOgquoa6DdYJM1r?si=397949948e7b4d78"1984" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/44qKCzLyOSHbC2xmMu4PvZ?si=9bc8d1961d084d53"Brave New World" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6tdr4GN3qDHAhHIx2j1oCe?si=b04bd3405fe94225"Letting Go" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/0V1nGsbVjp6liYmZ30TAWN?si=67e0f04c467e4e53"Not all those who wander are lost" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/3liOlO85UMj2JIm6qiMSrO?si=004a7900b58d4a92"Meditations" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ZCarN0dQMCaU8fVM7POL3?si=7a70bea901a44e30

In this heartfelt episode of Catholic Answers Live, we address one of the most difficult situations a Catholic can face: What if your spouse is resistant—or even hostile—to the idea of conversion? We offer practical and pastoral advice on how to approach this conversation with patience, love, and truth, without pushing them away. Help support the work we do by donating! Catholicanswersradio.com Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 07:17 – How does the soul know whether it’s in heaven, hell or purgatory?  12:49 – How do I bring up the conversation about converting to a spouse who is not friendly to Catholicism?  20:01 – Why don’t we hear about the intercession of the Old Testament saints?  23:34 – Can a person be in good standing with the Church and be an annihilationist?  33:41 – How can I have a more genuine relationship with Jesus?  37:20 – Why are the eastern right patriarchs not named cardinals?  41:34 – Why do Catholics do Eucharistic adoration but other churches like the Orthodox don't?  45:29 – What was the purpose of the dream of Pilot’s wife, Claudia?  51:05 – I don’t think belief in annihilationism jeopardizes being in good standing with the Church. JRR Tolkien would agree with me. Can you clarify your thoughts?

Without Bilbo, there would be no J.R.R. Tolkien. Without "The Hobbit," there would be no "Lord of the Rings" or "Silmarillion."

Hoy tenemos el privilegio de homenajear de nuevo la obra del maestro J. R. R. Tolkien, rescatando uno de los más célebres momentos de su Legendarium, con la introducción y el relato del gran Javier Gil y ilustración de portada del maestro Fran Fernández. "Derramaréis Lágrimas innumerables; y los Valar cercarán Valinor contra vosotros, y os dejarán fuera, de modo que ni siquiera el eco de vuestro lamento pasará sobre las montañas. Sobre la Casa de Fëanor la cólera de los Valar caerá desde el Occidente hasta el extremo Oriente, y sobre todos los que los sigan caerá del mismo modo. El juramento los impulsará, pero también los traicionará, e incluso llegará a arrebatarles los mismos tesoros que han jurado perseguir". Profecía de Mandos Desde que en el Silmarillion se arrojara luz sobre las historias que sustentaban la narrativa del Señor de los Anillos, se nos contó cómo los Valar y los Pueblos Libres gozaron de pocos periodos de equilibrio y paz. Desde los albores del mundo, desde la primera nota de la canción que diera origen a Arda, la música y el propósito de los Ainur parecía verse frustrado por los ardides de Melkor. Son bien conocidas las trágicas consecuencias que tuvieron para los primeros nacidos las semillas de la desconfianza y la discordia. La Maldición de Mandos selló el destino de los noldor, y al mismo tiempo, de aquellos que estaban llamados a ser sus aliados, y de tal modo las inevitables cadenas del destino forjado por Fëanor arrastraron consigo a elfos, hombres y enanos.

När Åke Ohlmarks översätter Sagan om ringen förändrar han böckerna radikalt. Reaktionerna blir starka och utlöser en kamp som pågår under många år. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. 1959 översätter den ambitiöse översättaren Åke Ohlmarks ”The Lord of the rings” till svenska. Han förhåller sig väldigt fritt till originalböckerna och professorn som har skrivit dem, J R R Tolkien, är inte alls nöjd.När Åke Ohlmarks kommer över manuset till Sagan om ringens outgivna uppföljare försöker han ge ut en version, även av den, på svenska. Men han blir stoppad och får aldrig ha något med Sagan om ringen att göra igen. Då bestämmer sig Åke Ohlmark för att hämnas.Dokumentären är gjord 2025.Reporter: Märta MyrstenerProducent: Ylva LindgrenSlutmix: André Ljungberg

How did Tolkien start writing his epic tale, “The Lord of the Rings”? Join Jude and Stef as they discuss the humble beginnings of the book that became the Fellowship of the Ring in this month's episode about volume six of the History of Middle-earth, The Return of the Shadow. We chat specifically about the Foreword by Christopher Tolkien, and dig deep into the first chapter, The Long-Expected Party! CitationsTolkien, J.

Have you ever thought about becoming a brand expert for C. S. Lewis or J. R. R. Tolkien? On the one hand, these seem like authors who need no introduction. On the other hand, how many people today really know the work of these towering 20th Century authors, beyond what made its way onto the silver screen? And what about one of the authors closely associated with them – Dorothy Sayers – who is far from well known in the general public but whose work is of similar creative and literary quality with her more famous friends and interlocutors?Maybe you haven't ever thought about launching a public relations campaign for one of these authors for the sake of a modern audience of young adults, but my guest today has. She is Christie Kleinmann, Professor of Public Relations at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. Professor Kleinmann is one of a dozen fellows in our second annual cohort of the Inklings Project, run out of the McGrath Institute for Church Life. Along with the other eleven fellows who come from colleges and universities across the United States and in four foreign countries, Professor Kleinmann developed and offered a new course this spring that draws the work of the Inklings into her own area of expertise: strategic public relations. The students in her course were divided into three semester-long groups, which each took as their “clients” one of these three Inklings: Lewis, Tolkien, and Sayers. Today, Professor Kleinmann joins me to talk about the project of her course, the relevance of the Inklings, and the creativity of her students.This is the first of a two-episode set. The second episode will feature three of Professor Kleinmann's students, one from each of the three Inklings groups. Follow-up Resources:Learn more about The Inklings Project.

Frodo's journey through the wilds takes a dramatic turn as the wounded hobbit nears the Ford of Bruinen. This episode explores three pivotal moments from the chapter Flight to the Ford in The Fellowship of the Ring. First, Sam Gamgee reveals his hidden depth through an imaginative troll-song, echoing Tolkien's ideas on fairy stories and the role of poetry in Middle-earth. Then, the hobbits encounter the buried remnants of Bilbo's earlier adventure, signaling the final narrative departure between Bilbo and Frodo. Finally, the mysterious rider Glorfindel arrives—not Arwen, as seen in the films, but a radiant elf-lord with deep roots in the First Age. With insights into Elvish reincarnation, the symbolism of bells and light, and the layered history behind Glorfindel's return, this episode highlights Tolkien's brilliance in mythmaking and the layered reality of his world.Part 3 of 4 exploring "Flight to the Ford" from JRR Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring.Share this episode using this link:ringspodcast.com/210Who are you?Please tell me a little about you: ringspodcast.com/surveyWander Farther: A Free Chapter GuideDownload my free chapter guide for "Flight to the Ford": ringspodcast.com/flightDeals for you, my fellow wandererExclusive discount for Lore of the Rings Listeners: 25% off your entire order at Manly Bands.

I have spoken and written about it often, but now I am shaping an on-line course. I need feedback from you. Bill@gospel-app.com. I am convinced that if they were here in your living room, parents, today, they would be pleading with you to get your kids to read more good books. But what are ‘good’ books? I am going to tell you.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Mitch Ginsburg, a producer at the Israel Story podcast. Ginsburg, a former military reporter for The Times of Israel, brings us a special episode from Israel's flagship podcast series, called The Hebrew Hobbit: A Passover Special. In it, Ginsburg charts the tale of a number of Israeli POWs who took upon themselves the unlikely task of translating JRR Tolkien's "The Hobbit" while imprisoned together in an Egyptian jail. In a vivid soundscape, Ginsburg brings a 360-degree account of life before, during and after their detention -- for the soldiers and those they left behind. This Passover holiday, we hear the improbable story of a group of Israeli men who formed a mini-kibbutz in the heart of an enemy country's prison and what happened after their exodus from Egypt. So this week, we ask Israel Story's Mitch Ginsburg, what matters now? What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves. IMAGE: An undated photo of the POW group who together translated 'The Hobbit' into Hebrew prior to their release from an Egyptian prison in November 1973.

Eucatastrophe, a term coined by J.R.R. Tolkien, encapsulates the sudden, unexpected joy that breaks through moments of despair. Drawing from Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories", this episode delves into how eucatastrophe shapes his works, from The Silmarillion to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Through key moments of unexpected hope in Tolkien's stories—like the eagles' arrival at the Battle of the Five Armies and the destruction of the One Ring—listeners will explore how Tolkien's concept mirrors the ultimate eucatastrophe in Christian theology: the Resurrection of Christ. The episode highlights how Tolkien's deep Christian faith informed his view of hope, sorrow, and redemption, and reflects on how these themes continue to resonate today.My Favorite Resurrection StoryTwo Believers unknowingly walk with the Resurrected Christ, who explains the scriptures about Himself, and eventually, breaks bread—reminiscent of the Sacrament.Luke 24:13–35Share this episode using this link:ringspodcast.com/209Who are you?Please tell me a little about you: ringspodcast.com/surveyWander Farther: A Free Chapter GuideDownload my free chapter guide for "Flight to the Ford": ringspodcast.com/flightDeals for you, my fellow wandererExclusive discount for Lore of the Rings Listeners: 25% off your entire order at Manly Bands.
