We read literature and philosophy, talk through film and games when they help, and ask what these works reveal about the soul, the good life, and the Christian imagination. Hosted by Andrew Snyder, Ph.D., professor of theology and philosophy, the show gathers fellow readers and thinkers around a common table. Some episodes are lessons. Most are recorded discussions. All of them aim at seeing more clearly, not merely consuming more content. New seasons take up a shared theme across the Fellowship.

What drives these tendencies? How can C.S. Lewis help us to stay grounded in reality and responsibility? In this episode, I seek answers to these questions with the help of Stephen Kent, who is a political TV commentator and columnist, author of How the Force can Fix the World, and host of Geeky Stoics.
