With chapter 14 Bethy and Katie decide Reep is probably the main character. Also, we meet some heavenly birds, Isaiah 6:1-7 is deeply discussed, and we practice fourfold reading.
With chapter 13 we ask havruta questions, notice a shift in tone as well as Reep being especially honored, and discuss the big questions with Revelation 19:6-9.
With chapter 12 we discover some surprising differences between our versions of the book, discuss Reep's pride, read Psalm 3, and practice PaRDaS.
Bethy is moving across the country! It is very exciting, but she is so busy that we need to slow our episodes to every other week instead of once a week. We'll keep this pace up for the rest of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and then get back to you about our plans. Thanks for understanding!
Chapter 11 brings up some abstract conversation as we try to visualize time, talk about two ways we tend to view God, and just enjoy a sweet chapter. We also practice Ignatian spirituality and read Revelation 22:12-13.
With chapter 10 we dive into temptation, contentment, bravery, and an inconsistency that we both spotted in the text. We also read Psalm 131 and try out a reader's theater.

Katie and Bethy dive into the pros and cons of invisibility, debate how old Reep is, and decide that great minds don't actually think alike. They also read Psalm 27:11-14 and practice four-fold reading.
With chapter 8 we focus more on Lucy than usual, gush about how much we love havruta, discuss short term missions, and read 1st Corinthians 10:11-13 twice.
We have a guest this week! We loved talking with Erin Schulz about Eustace and how his cure begins. Together we discuss what it means to be known, Edmund's forgiveness, foot washing with John 13:1-17, and how sometimes only God and go deep enough. We also practice PaRDaS.
Feel free to email us at fornarniapodcast@gmail.com and thanks again to Erin for joining us!
In chapter 6 Eustace is transformed both inside and out and with this context in mind Katie and Bethy discuss his appalling loneliness, the valiant Reep, and Lucy's deep kindness. We also take a look at Psalm 115:1-11 and try out a reader's theater.

With chapter 5 of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Katie and Bethy compare the storm in this chapter to one found in scripture, see some growth in Eustace (but not much), practice Ignatian Spirituality, and take a look at Mark 4:35-41.
Katie and Bethy discuss Caspian's clear-eyed confidence, the plethora of biblical references this chapter holds, and the complications of morality. They also practice fourfold reading and take a look at Isaiah 61:1-3.

With chapter 3 of The Voyage of The Dawn Treader, Bethy and Katie discuss the horrific slave trade that is found in the Lone Islands, discuss the often quoted but seldom fully examined Jeremiah 29, and practice one of our best havrutas ever.
With chapter 2 of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader we discuss Eustace's delusions, pacifism, and the ways Caspian has grown. We also read the Message version of Proverbs 10:1-11, and practice PaRDaS.
Welcome to season 5 of For Narnia and For Aslan! We are so excited to be back! We begin The Voyage of The Dawn Treader with discussions on Aslan's timing, the ways Lucy has grown up but Edmund seems to regress around Eustace, and how a kid ought to take a hike or two. We also read Philippians 4:8 and practice Ignatian Spirituality.
Join in the conversation by sending us an email or voicememo at fornarniapodcast@gmail.com and see you next week for chapter 2!
Stumbling over words, deciding mid-recording what we should talk about, both of this season's guests featured (thanks again, Kevin and Jenn!) - this blooper reel has it all! More than anything it will remind us that we are grateful for editing. Enjoy!
As we take one last look at Prince Caspian as a whole, we wonder if it is all about preserving old ways, or rebirth, and we discuss Peter's logic and Edmund's leadership. We also read Deut. 26:1-11 and Jer. 31:1-4 with the themes of story, war, dance, and trees in mind, and practice florilegia. Bethy's main takeaway is the power of memory and Katie's is the reminder that things don't have to go the expected way.
Thank you so much for joining us in our exploration of Prince Caspian! We loved it and can't wait to get started with The Voyage of The Dawn Treader on August 24th!
Join in our conversation by emailing us or sending a voice memo to fornarniapodcast@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you!
With the final chapter of Prince Caspian, Katie and Bethy wonder how it can be that God and the world are actually affected by prayer, discuss Reepicheep's new tail and the taste of tree chocolate vs. gravel, read Luke 14:11, and practice florilegia.
Katie's microphone is on the fritz - sorry about that! We'll be getting her a new one for the coming season.
This two-part chapter sends Bethy and Katie all directions in their conversation - from heads rolling away from Peter's sword, to imposter syndrome, to women and men being honored in such different ways, to a river in chains! They also read a section of Isaiah 55 and practice a virtually bridge-free PaRDaS.
We'd love to hear from you! Our email address is fornarniapodcast@gmail.com.
Katie and Bethy have way too much fun with chapter 13's pedantic posturing and attempt to mimic it as a sacred practice. We also talk about Narnia's calendar, thank you notes, and Lewis' surprising theme of laughter at the expense of others while also taking a look at 1st Timothy 4:12.
