#214 - Stephen Kent
What do the stories you loved as a child reveal about who you are today?Stephen Kent, creator of Geeky Stoics and coauthor of Great Escape: 30 Reflections on Stoicism, Faith, and the Wisdom of Great Stories, joins Eric to explore why stories from C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Star Wars and other childhood favorites can shape the way we understand courage, meaning, faith and the world around us.They discuss Tolkien’s defense of escapism, why Stoicism has become popular with young men, the search for meaning in a culture increasingly dissatisfied with nihilism, and the surprising story of the “nihilist penguin” meme that Kent believes reflects a broader shift from pessimism toward hope.Eric and Stephen also discuss the new Narnia adaptation, the importance of wonder, the return of a culture that wants to build and dream again, and why revisiting the stories we loved as children may help us understand something about the people we were created to become.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/0:00 Stephen Kent Joins3:23 Tolkien’s Defense Of Escapism6:03 How Stories Shape Young Minds8:02 Lewis, Tolkien And The Fight Against Nihilism11:43 Narnia, Meryl Streep And Greta Gerwig19:24 Why Stoicism Appeals To Young Men25:12 The “Nihilist Penguin” Meme28:58 “You Can Just Do Things”33:24 Why Big Dreams Are Coming Back40:21 What Childhood Stories Reveal About UsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

#211 - Joe Loconte
Meryl Streep is officially set to voice Aslan in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, and Eric has some serious questions about what the choice says about Hollywood’s approach to Lewis.Eric and author, educator, and filmmaker Joe LaConte discuss Aslan’s role in the Narnia stories, C.S. Lewis’s understanding of Christianity, masculinity and femininity, and why they believe modern adaptations often impose contemporary ideas on older works rather than respecting the author’s original vision.They also explore the friendship of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, how both men emerged from the darkness of World War I without surrendering to cynicism, the literary pact that helped produce some of the twentieth century’s greatest Christian fantasy, and Joe’s upcoming documentary projects on Lewis, Tolkien, and the Venetian Republic.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/0:00 Joe LaConte Joins2:16 Meryl Streep As Aslan4:33 Would C.S.
