  • Sheer Delight

    It is a sheer delight to listen to Jordan and Sean (and the occasional guest) discuss the essays, addresses, and sermons of C.S. Lewis. They are wise and winsome, humorous and humble with their commentary. Their friendship and camaraderie model the kind of relationship Lewis engaged in with his own “Inklings” group. Listen to their podcast often, it will do you good and surprise you with joy over and over again!

  • Explore the wide ranging Lewis

    This podcast deserves a much larger audience. Listen to a few episodes and you’ll understand why Lewis is considered one of the leading intellectuals of the 20th Century. The hosts explore the less popular essays and books of Lewis in a way that is accessible to folks who have an interest in Lewis but not a strong background knowledge. They fill in the gaps and provide keen insights that go far beyond Narnia, Screwtape, and Mere Christianity

  • Treasured Articles

    Lewis’s articles and essays are gold mines. Nearly everything Lewis wrote about in his academic and popular books, whether fiction or nonfiction, can be found in his articles and essays. And these shorter pieces have the benefit of being, well, shorter. This allows the reader to take in an idea of Lewis’s that may be missed if reading a longer work of his. The Lesser-Known Lewis guys do an excellent job of explaining Lewis’s articles and essays! Read a copy of an article or essay and then listen... more
