In this podcast I had the opportunity to talk with Annie Crawford. Annie Crawford is a cultural apologist, classical educator, and homeschooling mom whose passion is to help others look at the world around them and see that all truth is God's truth.In our conversation, Annie and I discussed the dangerous possibilities of AI, the impending end of the world (or the end of a world), and how Christians can live through the end of the world without being taken over into worldliness. Annie discusses an article she had written about C.S. Lewis's book, That Hideous Strength, and how Lewis thought Christians should live in the ever-increasingly technological world. We also talked about the depths of human language and what happens when it feels like our words lead to paradoxes in theology. It was a wide ranging conversation, but one you do not want to miss. I hope you enjoy!Check out Annie's website.

A discussion with Jason Baxter, Nicholas Colloff and Mark Vernon.The Abolition of Man is a series of three lectures given by C.S. Lewis in defence of objective value, arguing that modernity has undermined our humanity by uncoupling intellect from instinct. With hearts divorced from minds, first the world empties of presence, then life empties of meaning and people become “men without chests”.That Hideous Strength is a fictionalised version of the abolition, exploring the impact of transhumanism, aggressive rationalism, absent gods, and an inability to contemplate and know reality as it is.Till We Have Faces also tells of a world in which humanity is veiled and power rules, though in which gods make unexpected appearances and humanity is restored by learning to bear the weight of being once more.How do these works account for today?

The most powerful man today is the man who has the best case for being a victim. Young men intuitively know this reality and are thereby inclined to victimhood. In every narrative about their lives, they portray themselves as victims. Conversely, Real manhood is about taking responsibility and being an agent—not a perpetual victim.On the other hand, victimhood is not fake news. Some true victims need to unburden themselves to trusted and sympathetic church authorities. Real victims do not relentlessly broadcast their abuse—to do so would betray its seriousness. And, what's your take on C.S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength? Tim and Andrew share their contrary views.***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

Kyle Mann, you heard me, not a cheap fake AI version but THE real life Editor in Chief of the Babylon Bee shocks us all by returning to the Isle after a 4 year hiatus. And so much has happened in those 4 years. For starters, he got WAY more famous from all that Babylon Bee satire stuff putting them on the map in a major way... he starred in an epic docudrama "January 6th: The Most Deadliest Day", and if that wasn't enough, he also (finally) read the book That Hideous Strength. We talk about all that... plus PNut the Squirrel. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll learn more about Wonder Woman 1984 than you ever wanted to know. This is one podcast that we do not recommend you miss, because you will do so at your own peril. But hey, it's up to you.

The 20th century might go down as the most horrific century of them all with hundreds of millions killed by their own governments. But there were authors who predicted that things would get even worse. There was George Orwell, of course, and 1984, and Aldous Huxley, and Brave New World, and even Ray Bradbury, and Fahrenheit 451. But each of those visions has a blind spot. But the most prescient may well be C. S. Lewis's, That Hideous Strength. There was so much Lewis had right, and best of all, it has a happy ending. And Lewis saw deeply, more deeply than even Bradbury. Ironically, this is because Lewis discerned demonic activity behind the superficial materialism--and post-humanism--that was sweeping the world.

We're thrilled to welcome back Dr. Hal Poe, an esteemed scholar who has delved deep into the life and faith of C.S. Lewis. The conversion of Lewis, a towering figure in the English-speaking world, serves as the centerpiece of our discussion today. We embark on an exploration of his spiritual journey, a voyage that saw him transition from agnosticism to belief, a transformation beautifully detailed in his seminal work 'Mere Christianity'. Together, we also dissect his three-part biography, paying particular attention to the pivotal middle years where his faith truly took root.Our discussion takes a turn down the lanes of Lewis's childhood, where the seeds of his eventual conversion were sown. We argue that his early church-going habits, coupled with his deep-dive into Latin and classical literature, played a formidable role in his spiritual development. We also take a moment to reflect on the profound influence of his teacher Kirk Patrick, a staunch materialist, and the overwhelming grief he experienced with the loss of his mother at a tender age.Closing our conversation, we marvel at the profound impact of literature on Lewis's faith. His scholarship in courtly tradition, gallantry, and chivalry, as gleaned from the pages of classical literature, led him to perceive the Christian story in a fresh light, paving the way for his conversion. In a world increasingly convinced of the alleged conflict between faith and science, we analyze Lewis's counter-argument using his essays and books, such as The Abolition of Man and That Hideous Strength. As we wrap up, we ponder on what Lewis might have to say about our modern era and how his voice continues to resonate with relevance today. Join us for this enlightening journey into the life and faith of C.S. Lewis.Take our listener survey here!Get Dr. Hal Poe's new book here.

​Many people don't even realise CS Lewis wrote science fiction, much less have perused these three colossal volumes. So, why read them? In the first episode of our brand new series on Lewis' Space Trilogy, Professor Alister McGrath looks at when and why Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra and That Hideous Strength were created and how they can impact our lives today. + Subscribe to The CS Lewis podcast: https://pod.link/1560959545 + For more shows, free ebook and newsletter visit our new website + For online learning https://www.premierunbelievable.com/training + For our Premier Unbelievable?
