    Andrew Peterson on the Authors Who Kept Us Christian

    What does a Shire full of hobbits in Middle-Earth, a county full of farmers in Kentucky, and a wardrobe full of a lion have in common? For Russell Moore and singer/songwriter/author Andrew Peterson, they were all a way to find home.    In this episode—recorded inside Peterson's book-lined Chapter House in Nashville, right down the road from Moore—the two talk about the authors who, by God's grace, helped hold their faith together when it could have come apart. From the wisdom of Wendell Berry to the imagination of C.S. Lewis to the honesty of Frederick Buechner, these authors gave a clarity that helped these two keep the faith.    This isn't just a literary conversation. It's about how God uses stories, sentences, and sometimes even sword-wielding mice to reach people in moments of doubt, disillusionment, or despair. Along the way, they talk about what it means to read widely, to hold onto wonder, and to be the kind of Christian who can still be surprised by joy.   They also somehow end up talking about Moby Dick, Dungeons & Dragons, and how ChatGPT was wrong and right about what books each of them would take to a desert island.    Books and authors mentioned in this episode include: Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry A Room Called Remember and Telling Secrets by Frederick Buechner The Chronicles of Narnia, Till We Have Faces, Mere Christianity, and more by C.S. Lewis Godric by Frederick Buechner David Copperfield by Charles Dickens Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings A Long Obedience in the Same Direction by Eugene Peterson Moby Dick by Herman Melville Reading Genesis by Marilynne Robinson The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction by Alan Jacobs And selections from Andrew's own works: Adorning the Dark, The God of the Garden, and The Wingfeather Saga Whether you're deep in faith, on the brink of losing it, or just looking for something beautiful to read, this conversation will remind you why the right book at the right moment can do more than explain—it can point to new life.

    This week's Q&A dives deep into expanding our pneumatological horizons with Grace Ji-Sun Kim as we gear up for Pentecost Sunday. We tackle some fantastic questions about the Hebrew "ruach" versus Greek "pneuma," unpack how Greco-Roman philosophy (thanks, Plato!) shaped early Trinitarian debates, and explore the fascinating gender fluidity of Spirit language throughout church history - spoiler alert: the Spirit was feminine in early Syriac and Hebrew texts before patriarchal translations masculinized everything. Grace brilliantly connects the Asian concept of chi to global understandings of life-giving spirit found everywhere from Africa to indigenous Hawaiian traditions, making the case that syncretism isn't scary when you realize Easter and Christmas are already pagan mashups. We discuss how starting with pneumatology instead of Christology opens up interfaith dialogue, since everyone from Muslims to Buddhists has some concept of divine breath or energy. Plus, we get into the nitty-gritty of how embodied Spirit theology intersects with liberation work - because apparently all roads lead to the Spirit, whether you're fighting for climate justice, racial justice, or just trying to figure out why we keep praying "Come, Spirit, come" when the Spirit's supposedly already here. You can ⁠join the class and get Grace's lectures here⁠ and ⁠watch the conversation on YouTube here.⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Grace Ji-Sun Kim⁠⁠ is a professor of theology at Earlham School of Religion and host of the ⁠⁠Madang podcast⁠⁠.

Moving beyond traditional Western theological frameworks, we'll explore feminist interpretations, global perspectives, and innovative approaches to understanding the Spirit in today's world.

I talk about how these past cycles were times of collapse and realignment, where the soul was forced to let go of structures and titles and instead return to truth and purpose. These pivotal times offer us a choice: align with dharma or cling to the drama. I also offer practices for how to navigate this era creatively and spiritually.Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu are creating a significant transit that occurs in approximately 900-year cyclesCompared 2020 transit to the 1373 transit that coincided with the Black PlagueHistorical Patterns and Collapse (01:33 - 04:44)Major theme: 'The soul survives the collapse'597 BC: Babylon Empire took over Jerusalem, destroyed temples, ended monarchy258 CE: Roman Empire fractured, currency collapsed, Christians persecuted1171: English invasion of Ireland, end of Islamic rule, shifts in European power2025: Predicted massive changes in structures and systems due to AISpiritual Realignment (04:44 - 07:44)Historical examples showed spiritual adaptation after systemic collapseJudaism transformed beyond temples to prayer and texts after 597 BCIn 2025, people will need to reevaluate spiritual paths and systemic structuresSaturn in Pisces represents restructuring of spiritual boundariesKetu in Leo represents dissolving of ego and challenging leadershipInnovation Through Pressure (07:44 - 13:28)Historical examples of innovation born from necessity during times of change597 BC: Judaism adapted by compiling teachings into texts258 CE: Christians created underground networks and house churches1171: Reform, trade and resilience evolved under political upheaval2025-2026: Predicted renaissance of creativity and innovation through AI toolsI've already been refining my own teaching materials and have found it super inspiring!️ Dharma vs. Drama (13:28 - 18:16)Central message: Choose alignment (dharma) over drama during times of changeViktor Frankl's book title 'Nevertheless Say Yes to Life' is a great example of this energy.Ego-led rulers historically fell during these transitsStructures built on ego will likely change in 2025-2026Dharmic living (alignment) produces flow and synchronicity, like being in an aligned yoga pose.Adharmic living (misalignment) produces tension and frustration, like being misaligned in a yoga pose.

We get some updates from Susie about Pete Rose's eligibility for the Baseball Hall of Fame since his death and we hear the scandal involving the Napalm Girl image we discussed recently, and how the wrong photographer may have taken credit for the last fifty years. We hear actually useful happiness tips that are more fun than the usual ones we already know. We learn about scientists who trained parrots to video call each other, and why Sarah wants to know if they were actually "talking" to each other. And we hear how the social birds were also the most likeable. Plus, there is a pigeon thief in New York City, and some people think they're being stolen to be sold for a sport involving the birds in Pennsylvania.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:This episode is sponsored by/brought to you by BetterHelp.

    The Literary Heartbeat of Santa Barbara: Jen Lemberger at Chaucer's Books

    Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with Jen Lemberger, co-owner of Chaucer's Books.Nestled in Santa Barbara's Loreto Plaza sits a literary institution fifty-one years in the making. Chaucer's Books, now under the stewardship of Jen Lemberger and Greg Feitt, stands as a testament to the enduring power of independent bookstores in our communities.Jen's career started in health research and social epidemiology. She worked with organizations like Direct Relief before pursuing a master's in library science and eventually returning to Chaucer's, where she had once worked part-time alongside Greg. "I like to provide it as evidence for folks that you're not going to have one career," she reflects, offering hope to anyone questioning their professional journey.The transition came as Mahri Kerley, who had owned Chaucer's since its founding in 1974, turned 80 the same year the bookstore celebrated its 50th anniversary. What makes Chaucer's special isn't just its impressive collection of over 100,000 titles, but the care taken in curating them. As a New York Times reporting bookstore with strong publisher relationships, they strike a balance between bestsellers and niche interests, ensuring depth across all sections. Their booksellers are strategically hired for their diverse reading specialties, creating a knowledge ecosystem where customers can always find someone who speaks their literary language.Despite challenging retail trends, Chaucer's thrives as both a destination for bibliophiles and a beneficiary of its location near frequently visited establishments. Millennials, Jen notes, have become their fastest-growing demographic. Whether you're a Santa Barbara local or just passing through, Chaucer's Books offers that irreplaceable feeling of discovery that only comes from wandering through shelves curated by passionate readers who know their community. As Jen's ever-growing "to be read" pile attests, the literary journey never ends—and Chaucer's Books ensures you'll never run out of new worlds to explore.Chaucer's BooksThe Martha's Vineyard Beach and Book Club, Martha Hall KellyColm Tóibín BooksI Know the Whale (A Social Emotional Picture Book for Kids), Robin YardiN.K.

    The strongest brands are the ones with the most distinctive personalities. But even a weak and faded personality is better than none at all.A brand with a personality is an imaginary character in the minds of the customers of that brand. It is similar to the characters in syndicated television shows, bestselling novels, and big movie franchises.Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, and Robin Williams are actors, but they are also characters in your mind.Willie Nelson, Michael Jackson, and Taylor Swift are musicians. but they are also characters in your mind.Brands are like that.Two people are now going to tell us about books.Dear Person Reading This,A writer can fit a whole world inside a book. Really. You can go there. You can learn things while you are away. You can bring them back to the world you normally live in.You can look out of another person's eyes, think their thoughts, care about what they care about.You can fly. You can travel to the stars. You can be a monster or a wizard or a god. You can be a girl. You can be a boy. Books give you worlds of infinite possibility. All you have to do is be interested enough to read that first page…Somewhere, there is a book written just for you. It will fit in your mind like a glove fits your hand. And it's waiting.Go look for it.Neil GaimanA Velocity of Being, Letters to a Young Reader, p. 22Brands are like novels and movies and TV shows. Brands are like hit songs. Brands are like actors and musicians. Brands are like good books.Here is the second person.Dear Reader,When I was 12, I was given a scholarship to a private girl's school in the town where I lived. All the other girls came from another – wealthier – town. They were driven to school in Jaguars and Mercedes Benzes. They ate artichokes. No way would I ever fit in.In the midst of my funk, the English teacher assigned A Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers. As it happens, Frankie, the book's heroine, is also 12 and also wants to belong. Her yearning is such that she wants to know everyone in the world and for everyone to know her – exactly what I wanted!That's what stunned me, not just the intensity of the longing, but the specificity. It meant – it had to mean – there were other people in the world like me. Not just Frankie, a fictional character, but the author who had to have felt that way herself in order to give Frankie that longing. I felt such an intimate connection with her, as if she'd looked deep inside me and knew me in the way I wanted the world to know me. Reading didn't just offer escape; it offered connection!All these years later, I just have to look at my copy of A Member of the Wedding on my bookshelf to experience again how I felt when I first read it and to feel the full force of that connection: to Frankie, to Carson McCullers, to the 12-year-old girl I was, and to 12-year-olds everywhere.Emily LevineA Velocity of Being, Letters to a Young Reader, p. 52A brand with a personality is like A Member of the Wedding, written by Carson McCullers.Who was the first ad writer to give a brand a distinctive personality?That's like asking, “Who built the first car?” To answer that question, we would first have to agree upon the defining characteristics of a car.For us to agree upon “Who was the...

    This week, I'm reading the first part of the twenty first chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  Before we get to the reading, there are a few noteworthy announcements: -I finished a set of breaking training cards to help add an element of randomization to solo dance practices.  Those are available on itch.io and are free to print out.  I will make a physical version of the cards and an instructional video in the coming weeks but to anyone that might find them useful, they are available now.  I ended up using animations that were originally made for a breaking game I tried to make about 20 years ago.  -Speaking of animation, I made a pixelart animation for the song "Forward" to go with the release of Once Upon a Dream (6/13/25).  That video is available here.  This week's reading of the Rocketeer chapter accompanies the section of the film where things come to a climax over the skies of the Griffith Observatory.  You can watch the exciting shootout here.   Pictures from the show notes are all available at https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2025/06/02/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-512-and-like-a-hood-ornament-78-reading-the-rocketeer-movie-novelization-chapter-21-part-1/Thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Don't forget that the original hunter action figure from A Shadow in the Moonlight is available on Etsy!Check out the growing line of Thirteenth Hour toys and other products on the Thirteenth Hour Studio Etsy store (https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThirteenthHourStudio).  There are a number of custom figures from retro films being sold for charity that available there as well. Check out this collaboration with past show guest Jeff Finley on handpan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK8lTEQoc_gFollow along on Spotify!  There is also a growing extended Thirteenth Hour playlist on Spotify with a growing number of retro 80s songs.Check it out!As always, thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Synth EP soundtrack to the novella, Empty Hands, is now out for streaming on Bandcamp.  Stay tuned.  Follow along on Spotify!  There is also a growing extended Thirteenth Hour playlist on Spotify with a growing number of retro 80s songs.Check it out!As always, thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?
