Podcasts about tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien is known as the language professor who created a fantasy world and constructed several languages for fun. However, those who get to know his writing and thought well discover that behind those seemingly frivolous projects lie deeply seeded theological ideas. And where better to discuss the intersection of theology and fiction than here on Mere Fidelity. Austin Freeman, author of Tolkien Dogmatics, joins Matt, Derek, and Alastair to delve into the wealth of thought hidden in Middle Earth. Full show notes at www.merefidelity.com.

Faith is the topic for Jeff Haecker, Thomas Sanjurjo, Thomas Salerno, and Kaitlyn Facista as they discuss Tolkien's own Catholic faith and how he saw it in his works, plus the faiths of the people of his creation in Middle Earth. The post The Faith of Tolkien appeared first on StarQuest Media.

Merry is given his pink slip, but refuses to pack up his desk and leave: a security guard by the name of Dernhelm will escort him out. Join Alan and James as we marshal the riders — and James' humble singing talents — for the concluding episode on The Muster of Rohan! We speculate about the extent of Éowyn's secret plans, welcome the Professor for a special reading, and point out another of Tolkien's wonderful spoilers. Alan talks to James about his classes on The History of Middle-earth, and we ever so slightly bash the French. Again.

The Two Towers opens to a broken fellowship set on two distinct but interwoven journeys against the Dark Lord Sauron. This fragmented journey cements that a new age is coming to Middle Earth, the Age of Men. How do Tolkien's characters deal with temptation and resist the power of darkness?  Support the Show 1517 Podcasts

Happy New Year, friends! This January, we are replaying a few of our favorite episodes from 2022! We hope you enjoy the replay!—-Hey Friends! Today, Gernot joins Janell for another podcast! Janell talks a little about why Leonie chose not to record this episode and a little about the puddle ocean analogy when it comes to faith. Gernot shares his faith journey, how he started living his Christian faith, and his personal story about loss. Janell and Gernot talk about the question “Do you want God?” and they discuss the idea that for some, spending eternity with a God they do not love will be hell. Janell and Gernot also talk about how the goodness of God leads people to salvation, choosing to trust Jesus, and how Jesus changes everything. We hope you enjoy this episode! About Gernot Zeilinger Gernot has a B.A in International Business Administration as well as a Certificate in Theological Studies from Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford and a Certificate in Christian Apologetics from the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics.

Yavanna implores Fëanor to give the Silmarills to them so they might revive the Two Trees. But he refuses. As Nienna mourns the destruction, Melkor goes to Formenos, slays Finwë, steals the Silmarils, and sneaks away. Three friends read and react to the greatest story you've never heard — the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. 00:55 Greg reads pages 78-79 from the Silmarillion, 2nd Edition 8:33 Discussion "Yavanna spoke before the Valar, saying: 'The Light of the Trees has passed away, and lives now only in the Silmarils of Fëanor. Foresighted was he! Even for those who are mightiest under Ilúvatar there is some work that they may accomplish once, and once only. The Light of the Trees I brought into being, and within Eä I can do so never again. Yet had I but a little of that light I could recall life to the Trees, ere their roots decay; and then our hurt should be healed, and the malice of Melkor be confounded.'"

This week I'm speaking with Jeni Britton. Having grown up with a healthy dose of Roald Dahl and encouragement, Jeni learned to connect with her feelings early on, and has dedicated more than half her life to the sensorial art of making ice cream, as the founder and Chief Creative Officer of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams.Jeni made the choice to become an ice cream maker at a young age, but it was during her time at The Ohio State University where the adventure truly began. Shortly after walking out of an art class her sophomore year, Jeni set up shop at Columbus's North Market, where she would source the ingredients needed to make her signature creations, gaining an education in both flavor and business.While financially unsuccessful, her first foray into entreprenurialship provided her with experience and perspective, which set the foundation for the success which would follow, including a James Beard Award, a spot on The New York Times Best Sellers list, and more than 60 scoop shops across the United States.In the same year she was named one of Fast Company's Most Creative People In Business, the bottom dropped out, leaving Jeni faced with a crisis she thought would be the end of her company. Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien and supported by the community she had nurtured since her days at the North Market, Jeni would weather the storm, and emerge having experienced a sense of love she says changed her view on ‘everything in the world'.During the course of our conversation, we discuss the fellowship model, B Corps, and how she encourages eating ice cream in winter.It is with a deep sense of hometown pride that I present Jeni Britton on The Days Between..

The ramblings team of Elijah, Graham and Jeff are back for another random walk through the world of the movies. As a special treat, this is one we have been saving for you as it relates to our year end show. In that show we revealed that the At The Flicks film of the year was Top Gun Maverick. Why did we think it was so good? Our ramble gives you some insight into our thinking. We talking excitement, Tom Cruise and fast planes. Interesting show fact, did you know Tom Cruise is one film star that our Graham has to look up to? After we have waxed lyrical on Top Gun Maverick we also speak about another big hit from last Summer – Jurassic Park Dominion. I won't tell you our thoughts on that one, you can discover that pleasure when you listen to the show. Finally on the ramble we give a hint to the next ramble. Elijah's favourite subject. The Rings Of Power, Amazon's big series from last Autumn. This only scratches the surface of what Elijah has to say (being the huge Tolkien fan that he is) as there is a lot more coming in the next one. So much that it is less of a ramble, more of a trek. See you on the next ramble or At The Flicks.

In 2001, director Peter Jackson brought to the big screen the world that J.R.R. Tolkien created in his books of The Hobbit & Lord of The Rings. It was a movie with tremendous scenery, great ensemble cast and unbelievable effects to bring to life one of the greatest stories ever written. An epic adventure of 2 hobbits taking on the task of returning the ring of power to where it was created so they could destroy it before the dark lord Sauron could come back to power. Fights, wars, adventure with just enough touch of everyday humor take us through the journey as we watch the first volume of The Lord of The Rings. The episode runs long today but I don't think I could ever get any movie of The Lord of The Rings in under an hour with there being so much to talk about. :) Please, if you listen to the show and have not yet done so, leave me a rating and a review on Spotify and/or iTunes.

“In a good bookroom, you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them.” ― Mark Twain Twain was right. I know the feeling well, having surrounded myself with books for most of my adult life. Only recently did I rid myself of the vast array of books that surrounded me. But it was time and I have no regrets. Hopefully, somebody else is benefiting from the thousands of books I donated not long ago to a local library. Absorbing wisdom is an interesting phrase used by Twain in that quote. He didn't say knowledge. There's a difference. “Any fool can know. The point is to understand.” ― Albert Einstein Here at LTW I've long given my personal definition of wisdom as the model from which each podcast episode is cast - getting it right in realtime. I stand by that definition, but that doesn't mean it's the only kind of wisdom. Sometimes we learn wisdom because we got it wrong - the first time. Now the question is, "Will we get it right the next time?" Fools don't. Wise people do. Simply put, wise people learn, and learn faster. “Never laugh at live dragons.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien For our 45th wedding anniversary Rhonda bought me a toy dragon. For some unknown reason, I've dubbed him Carl. Carl is dragon number 3 inside The Yellow Studio. The first was found many years ago in Clearwater, Florida while on a business trip. I found him in a store one day and kept going back daily wrestling with whether or not to purchase him. He's ceramic and heavy. I was flying home and traveling as light as possible. By end of my last day there, I intentionally waited until close to closing time, walked in, grabbed him and made the store owner an offer, which he accepted. I can't remember how much he was priced originally or why I even decided he might not be worth that amount, but pleased with my discounted price I brought him home to the Yellow Studio where he's been a fixture for many years (over 20). You can likely figure out why I liked him so much. ;) https://leaningtowardwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Orange-Dragon.mp4   The first actual toy dragon came from the same place as Carl, a toy merchant at a local flea market in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Jimmie. For over 35 years Jimmie has been collecting and peddling toys. Ebay and the Internet have made profit harder to come by for Jimmie, but daily he mans his booth in this flea market jam-packed with toys of all ilks, including an occasional dragon. Carl and this unnamed orange dragon came from Jimmie. I rather love them all. And recently told Jimmie to be on the look out for whatever might turn into my 3rd purchase from Jimmie. These are the dragons who now reside Inside The Yellow Studio. And I'm always reminded of that Tolkien quote, "Never laugh at live dragons." I suspect one's first encounter with a live dragon might prove so fearful that a wise person would learn to not laugh, but to take the dragon seriously. So it is with learning wisdom. We may not get it right the first time, but we'd best get it right the next time lest it prove fatal. As much as we may want to get it right in realtime, that often doesn't happen. And it's mostly okay. Except when it's not. For years I've shared with you my parental advice, "Don't make a mistake from which you can't recover." We never wanted our children to make a mistake so foolish that it caused permanent or long-lasting damage. We trained them and hoped they'd learn from their mistakes, but mostly...we wanted those mistake to be ones from which they could recover or find redemption from. It wasn't just parental advice, it was what we tried to accomplish in our own lives, as their parents. Yes, we sometimes got it wrong, but with the things that mattered the most - those things that are eternal - we got it completely right. We leaned hard into providing the spiritual food our children needed to grow up strong,

This is Empires of the Future, conversations to encourage the Church in a time of change.  In this episode we talk about good and evil in what is probably the most popular franchise of the last twenty years, Marvel movies. The Marvel Cinematic Universe contains near-endless messages about good and evil, and in this episode we analyze those themes with Christians like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S.

“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” is a fitting final volume to Tolkien's masterpiece. Published in 1955, and despite the massive spoiler in the title, this book manages to squeeze in as much story as possible. In fact, those who have only watched Peter Jackson's film version will be surprised to learn they've only been told half the tale. Tolkien leaves no tangent untied in his culminating War of the Ring and neither will Blake and Seamus as they finishing ringing in the new year. Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include: "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” by J.R.R.

What does hope look like for the American church as political polarization sparks division and many evangelicals are leaving the pews? It might be found in the words of the British “Poet for ‘Bruised Evangelicals,'” Malcolm Guite. The poet, priest, singer-songwriter, and professor joined Russell to talk about truth, imagination, and illumination. Guite and Moore discuss how they know the Christian story is true, depictions of the gospel in art, and what it means to learn to love. They talk about the power of stories and imagination. Moore asks Guite to share his thoughts on the transfiguration passage in the New Testament, which Guite explores in his book Lifting the Veil. And they talk about how to begin reading poetry for those who don't know where to start.

Tolkien once wrote a story that totally isn't an allegory. Not even one bit. We discuss that story (totally an allegory) in this episode. Also, Horticulture! We don't discuss it, just been thinking about it lately.

On this episode of the In All Things podcast, we speak with Dr. Kristen Page about her new book, The Wonders of Creation: Learning Stewardship from Narnia and Middle Earth. In this conversation, ecology and fantasy literature come together to train our imagination, practices, and pace. Among the topics we cover: How time spent in imaginary and literary worlds can slow us down and train our attention, helping us to become better stewards of creation. How learning to appreciate the beauty of creation empowers us to protect it. Why lament matters when it feels like our efforts are largely in vain What sort of practices can be cultivated and what other authors help us slow down and see In All Things link (transcript available): https://inallthings.org/podcast-slowing-down-to-hear-creations-song-with-kristen-page-2/  Get the book: https://www.ivpress.com/the-wonders-of-creation Read Hannah Landman's review: https://inallthings.org/active-imaginations-a-review-of-wonders-of-creation/  Read Dr. Carl Fictorie's review: https://inallthings.org/embracing-ecology-and-fantasy-a-review-of-the-wonders-of-creation/  Authors mentioned in this podcast: C.S.

Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter - @jeremympryor Substack- https://jeremypryor.substack.com/p/the-fatherhood-project Hi, welcome to Jeremy Pryor's podcast or what I like to call, "Jeremy Pryor unfiltered." We are excited to bring you seasons of content all the way from Tolkien to Theology, from Business to Family. If you like to contemplate deep philosophical ideas across a wide range of topics, you've come to the right place. Make sure you give us a follow so you don't miss out on future episodes.

Jared, Oriana and Ned start the new year with Ned's choice of topic: the short children's works Roverandom and Mr. Bliss. Tolkien has been described as a children's author both with praise and disparagement over time, but a more accurate way to put it is that while he was busy working on his cycle of early Middle-earth stories with its high drama and tragedy in the 1920s and 1930s, he was also a loving father to four young children who often made up many stories and tales for them. The Hobbit itself has strong roots in this activity but whether it's the Father Christmas letters, the original Tom Bombadil stories, the early versions of Farmer Giles of Ham or more besides, it's a large creative part of his work in those decades. After The Hobbit was accepted for publication, Tolkien provided the manuscripts for, among other submissions, the stories Roverandom and Mr. Bliss for consideration, though the success of The Hobbit and the request for a sequel led him down other paths, with the two stories receiving separate posthumous publication instead. Is there ultimately anything more to Mr. Bliss than a series of random happenings that the titular character barely seems to be at the center of a lot of the time? How does Roverandom work in notable contrast to Mr. Bliss, with its deeper emotions as much as it has a sense of playful satire? How well does Tolkien's art for both stories achieve a distinct resonance and beauty? And who wouldn't want to get a newspaper called Ocean Notions, perhaps most applicable these days if you live in a pineapple under the sea?SHOW NOTES.Jared's doodle – a beautiful and striking moment from an equally striking story.Join the Megaphonic Patreon!

Steph had stumbled across my Instagram account and had been following it for awhile. When I checked out her account, I fell in love with a number of her cosplays and knew I needed to talk to her about her favorite fandoms! We start off with talking about The Lord of the Rings. She talks about how she first got into the franchise via the movies, and dove into the books after seeing the movie. We talk about the characters, her favorite movie, and touch on The Hobbit movies and The Rings of Power series. Then, we talk about Bob's Burgers. Steph talks about which character she relates to the most, some of her experiences with the show, and why you should be watching it. Seriously, watch it! Steph and I then talk about Dungeons & Dragons and tabletop roleplaying games. She talks about how she got into playing D&D, what she enjoys about it, her characters, and more. We also touch on a game she'll be playing soon, Kids on Brooms. Lastly, we wrap up with Cosplay. Steph talks about how she got into Cosplay, what kind of characters she cosplays, her mashup cosplays, and what she's working on for the future.
