S1E34 – AA – After Hours with Justin Wiggins
Today will be an “After Hours” episode of The Eagle and Child, a new kind of format which we will occasionally intersperse among our regular programmes. In these episodes David will be talking to C.S. Lewis authors and enthusiasts.
Today David will be interviewing Justin Wiggins, who recently published his book, “Surprised By Agape”, which chronicles his own journey of faith and describes the role that C.S. Lewis played in that journey…
S1E33 – MC B4C5 – “The Obstinate Toy Soldiers”
Today we encounter one of David’s favourite chapter titles in “Mere Christianity”: “The Obstinate Toy Soldiers”. Today we speak more about Christ’s Resurrection and what it achieved, and how we can benefit from it.
This is our first remote episode. Matt moved to New York this month, so over the next few weeks we’ll be working out technical issues as we get used to doing this podcast remotely over the next.
S1E32 – MC B4C4 – “Good Infection”
This week we continue to discuss the Trinity and the terms used to describe each its members. We ask what it means to say that “God is love”. Finally, we dig deeper into understanding what it means to participate in the life of God.
S1E31 – MC B4C3 – “Time and Beyond Time”
Today we’re talking about time. This might seen like an abstract topic, but it helps us understand important questions, such as:
1. If God is all-knowing, how can we really have free will?
2. How can God keep creation going while He was a baby asleep in a manger?
3. How can God be attending to millions of prayers at once?
So put on your thinking cap and let’s ponder the mystery of time…
S1E30 – MC B4C2 – “The Three-Personal God”
As we move into Chapter 2 of Book IV, we dive into the Trinity! What does it mean to say that God is a Trinity and how do we come to know this God better? How can we become one with God and yet not lose all individuality? All will be revealed in the latest episode of “The Eagle and Child”…
S1E29 – MC B4C1 – “Making and Begetting”
And now we begin Book IV! Together with Lewis, we take our first steps into the mystery of the Holy Trinity. In today’s episode we begin by looking at the point of theology and make distinctions between “making” and “begetting”…
S1E28 – Bonus – “Mailbag Episode (Part 2)”
This week Matt and I read some more mail from listeners. This week we get some constructive criticism! We’re going to be talking about charity and suffering…
S1E27 – MC Bonus – “Mailbag Episode (Part 1)”
We’re back! After a bit of a hiatus (sorry about that!), Matt and David are now publishing podcasts again. We’ve got the next six already recorded, edited and ready to go. The next two episodes will be “mailbag episodes” where we will be reading some iTunes reviews and responding to messages from you, the listeners. After that, we’ll be diving into Book IV of Mere Christianity.
