Is truth found in numbers, or in the stories we tell? Join us as we welcome Nate Morgan Lock, the Reformed Mythologist, to our Christ-centered cosmic civilization for a captivating conversation that blends theology with the study of mythology.
Nate's unique perspective challenges us to reconsider our understanding of truth, urging us to see beyond mathematical correctness to a deeper essence of truth found in narratives.
Through his thought-provoking YouTube content, Nate explores the origins and purposes of stories, and how they shape our culture and beliefs.
Reflect with us as we examine how imagination and storytelling enrich our understanding of the world.
We discuss the limitations of reductionist approaches that strip experiences of their magic and wonder, contrasting them with narrative-driven perspectives that honor the significance of the stories we cherish. Nate helps us navigate this existential terrain, drawing on Biblical references and the insights of modern thinkers to highlight the importance of embracing the fullness of our lived experiences.
Together, we traverse Gotthold Lessing's "broad and ugly ditch," exploring the gap between scientific truths and religious faith. Using metaphors like a theater performance, we delve into the idea that truth is best understood through lived and witnessed narratives rather than cold facts.
Drawing inspiration from C.S. Lewis's "The Magician's Nephew," we underscore the value of listening and experiencing the moment to uncover deeper truths, urging listeners to embrace the stories that shape our lives and faith.
The theme music is "Wager with Angels" by Nathan Moore
