It is a good, good thing to have a home. But now that I have gone from it, let me steward well, O God, this homesick gift, as I know my wish for what has been is not some solitary ache, but is woven with a deeper longing for what will one day be. This yearning to return to what I knew is, even more than that, a yearning for a place my eyes have yet to see. So let me steward this sacred yearning well. Homesickness is indeed a holy thing, like the slow burning of an immortal beacon, set ablaze to bid us onward.<\/p><cite><a href=\"http:\/\/restlesspilgrim.net\/blog\/2020\/05\/15\/a-liturgy-for-those-with-an-inconsolable-homesickness\/\">A LITURGY FOR THOSE WITH AN INCONSOLABLE HOMESICKNESS<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp;Begin Season 3 review.

I&#8217;m not sure how I did it, but I did! I loved it! I saw so many quotes attributed to Jack that were written in the characters of the book. How different they are when given context. I love this book dearly because Jack did a fabulous job capturing the heart of a fallen woman (with the help of Joy) grasping control, beauty, and stability. Though they had somewhat little time together this work between Joy and Jack really drove a staple into my heart.

So a couple of months ago my mentor, who had heard your podcast referenced in another podcast, pointed me in your direction. It has been a real pleasure listening to the two of you summarize and explain Lewis&#8217; thoughts clearly and concisely, bringing perspectives other than my own narrow one to his work, and by extension to Christ&#8217;s work.<br><br>I started at the very beginning with Mere Christianity as that seemed the only sensible thing to do, and just finished today. I was particularly struck by the idea of Theosis. I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s just an idea I&#8217;ve never heard before as an evangelical, or if I&#8217;ve just never understood what others were trying to teach me, but it has been exceptionally thought provoking for me.<br><br>I&#8217;m excited to dive into The Great Divorce with you, which I just finished reading again about a week ago. The Great Divorce highlights well one of the things I really appreciate about Lewis, i.e. that his ideas and beliefs were so fleshed out and real in his mind, that he sets them out clearly and logically in Mere Christianity, and then goes on explaining them in all his other works.<br><br>Separately, I appreciate hearing what you are drinking and how you like it, especially when it&#8217;s whiskey. Just in the last couple of years I&#8217;ve developed a taste for whiskey, and in particular Scotch, but I don&#8217;t often get to imbibe or try anything new. I enjoy hearing about the different drinks you are enjoying and hearing a mini review so I can make a wish list for the future.<br><br>Thanks for all of your work putting this together. I look forward to hearing more of your insights on Lewis&#8217; work and the Christian life as we travel together in Christ further up and further in.<\/p><cite>Evan<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grace wrote and said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cHi!

It was so much fun and also so interesting! My reading challenge which could have ended with he summer and some delicious ice cream turned into a love for C.S. Lewis. Since then I\u2019ve been reading more of his books and rereading The Great Divorce because it\u2019s so good. I also did a novel study in my English class on Till We Have Faces. It was a shame the new season wasn\u2019t out at that time because I totally would have loved to read along while I did the project because that is one confusing book. Still I\u2019m loving reading it again with David and Matt. I\u2019ve also branched out into&#8230;books about Lewis. I\u2019m reading Becoming Mrs Lewis right now and loving it!

I hope others enjoy this as much as a I do\u201d<\/p><cite>FF<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I thoroughly enjoy this podcast. Matt and David do an excellent job distilling the work of one of my favourite authors\u2026 But what I appreciate most is their goal is not merely to plumb the depths of the author, profound and influential a thinker though he be. Rather, their clear desire is to know God and to, \u201cspur one another on to love and good works.\u201d Keep up the good work gentlemen. Further up, and further in!<\/p><cite>Cheers<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Not sure why this isn\u2019t the #1 Theology or Christian podcast in the world. Somehow they take some of the best, deepest materials&#8230;and unfold it in a way that\u2019s even deeper still yet more accessible. Their delivery as a duo is a great fit with just enough playfulness to be personable and relatable without wasting my time on unproductive banter. Good literature is timeless and they\u2019ve extracted the essential oils that\u2019ll keep you wanting to keep wafting in the fragrance time and time again. &#8211; David Roscoe<\/p><cite>Best all around Theology podcast<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp;Trailer for Season 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp;It\u2019ll start in September\u2026 The books The Screwtape Letters Screwtape Proposes a Toast The Silver Chair The team will be growing Andrew Lazo will be joining His TWHF read-along on Facebook Guest co-hosts: Jason Lepoj\u00e4rvi, Brenton Dickieson, Rev.
