Back to the Shire, Back to the Scriptures ---

Reflect on the profound influence of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth as we revisit the themes that shaped a generation. Dive into the formative power of "The Lord of the Rings," a world where the smallest acts of courage can change the future, and where characters like Frodo and Sam inspire bravery, faithfulness, and resistance to temptation.

This episode explores how Tolkien’s fantasy is a theological protest against the glorification of war and the worship of power. Discover the parallels between Tolkien's cautionary tales and today's political realities, urging us to resist the forces of domination and embrace a gospel of healing, humility, and sacrificial love.

Join us in questioning how we might have misread Tolkien’s anti-authoritarian message and the scriptures, and consider a return to the values of stewardship, friendship, and peace. It's time to lay down the Ring and come back to the Shire, to the Sermon on the Mount, and to a Kingdom built on mercy, not might.
