  • Thanks for your work

    Faithful but flawed Roman Catholic here, I deeply appreciate your show. Every time I listen, I learn something new and grow in faith, sometimes even despite myself. The things that divide Christians are nothing compared to the one who unites us. Keep up the good work.

    Episcopalian here. It’s wonderful to hear a faith leader from a different Christian denomination approaching humanity with love, and exploring many viewpoints. Please keep up the good work!

    Loved your discussion with Tony Hale. Great questions and lots for me to consider in regard to how to talk and listen when discussing faith journeys. Keep inviting these type of guests! Would love to hear from Leigh-Allyn Baker, Patricia Heaton, others…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Malcolm Guite on Re-Enchanting a Disenchanted World
Q: What is the role of poetry and imagination in engaging with these stories today?
Poetry, especially in a ballad form, can enchant and educate simultaneously, and reading aloud helps evoke a musicality that makes the stories memorable and spiritually meaningful for contemporary readers.
Malcolm Guite on Re-Enchanting a Disenchanted World
Q: How should modern readers approach these legends without dismissing their magical or fantastical elements?
Those elements can be read as gateways to deeper meanings; the goal is to see through to the resonant symbolism and the way myths illuminate truths about faith, life, and human aspiration, rather than to treat them as literal history.
Malcolm Guite on Re-Enchanting a Disenchanted World
Q: Tell me, was King Arthur real?
The historical reality is debatable, but the Arthur in the stories is a mytho-poetic figure whose influence and moral vision—embodied through the Round Table, mercy, and chivalry—are more important for guiding virtue and imagination than strict historical fact.
Am I Sinning By Feeling Anxious?
Q: Am I misreading the scriptures here? Am I doing something wrong? If you've got any counsel for somebody like myself, I would appreciate it.
Russell Moore reassures that the listener is not misreading the scriptures and that experiencing anxiety is not a sign of personal failure. He differentiates between rumination and the biblical peace that God provides, notes that physiological anxiety is real and valid to address (including medical or counseling help), and encourages the listener to bring concerns to God in prayer while extending grace to themselves without moral condemnation.
Should I Report Abuse in Church to the Police?
Q: If the abuse is something that is illegal, shouldn't I go to the police first?
Yes, go to the police first because civil authorities have the responsibility to prosecute crimes and protect the vulnerable, and church policy should not replace or override that obligation. The host emphasizes that there are two spheres of authority and both must be involved.
