The show usually is recorded in a pub--that's why there is some background noise on occasion. The topics can vary widely seeing as the Pugsters have different spheres of knowledge and interest, but common themes which appear regularly include the transcendence of God and the meaningfulness of His creation.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T18:19:49.635117+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088"},"episode":{"title":"Christmas and the True Myth","slug":"christmas-and-the-true-myth","published_at":"2025-12-22T09:52:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088/christmas-and-the-true-myth","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-theology-pugcast/episodes/Christmas-and-the-True-Myth-e3cdmai","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/930b87c/podcast/play/112695058/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-11-16%2F414463473-44100-2-0b2764c4fdeda.mp3","summary":"C.S. Lewis came to faith once he realized that the Gospel was both myth, appealing to his heart, and fact, appealing to his mind. The Pugs discuss what he meant by myth and apply the idea to the Christmas story—how it embodies archetypes found in myth and legend throughout history.
