1. The Lutherans, the Lion, and the gifts of Narnia. In this episode, we talk with Pastor Sam Schuldheisz about his forthcoming book, Luther and the Lion: A Narnian Catechism. We discuss how Lewis (and other Inklings) can help us catechize children and adults, how stories lead us deeper into the biblical narratives, and vice versa. How can great myths and stories be employed in Christian apologetics when seen through Christian liturgy and sacraments? Now is the best time to reintroduce great Christian authors, great myths, and great stories, and the best of all stories — the gospel of Jesus Christ — can carry us out of our churches into a world that’s wounded and can’t find true healing that only Christ can give.
  2. Kelsi chats with author, Laurie Krieg, about her newest book (coauthored with her husband Matt), ⁠Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World⁠, to answer how we keep the gospel as our foundation as we teach and guide our children through increasingly complex sexual issues today.
  3. In this episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Dan Price continue with Proverbs 29:17–20, showing how God gives fathers the vocation to instruct and discipline their children within the ordered life of the household.
  4. We Don’t Need No Education. In this episode, we read The End of Education by Neal Postman, discussing the mechanisms of public education, religious catechesis, the influence of the Enlightenment and psychoanalysis on contemporary learning, and what happens when fiction replaces truth as the basis of meaning. This and much, much more on today’s show!
  5. Reading and education outcomes in the United States have been declining for decades. In this episode, the Thinking Fellows examine how these trends have impacted Christian education and what Christians can contribute to America’s education crisis.
  6. The Thinking Fellows examine the Ligonier 2025 State of Theology Survey. They identify a major recurring theme: Christians are contradicting themselves.
  7. Kelsi talks with Erica Sorensen about her experience in youth ministry and the affects of our current digital age on parenting and kids.
  8. Well, we're back to talking about submission and wives again . . . but Peter brings a decidedly new and radical twist to the Christian home.
