S4E10 Advent – "Talking About Bicycles" with Daniel Payne from the Lamp-Post Listener
Description
Exploring C. S. Lewis' 1945 essay "Talking About Bicycles" with Daniel Payne from the Lamp-Post Listener podcast. As he talks about bicycles, Lewis points out that there seem to be 4 stages to being enchanted by something wonderful. First, before we've been enchanted and know nothing of it - this, he calls "unenchantment." Second, when we first become enchanted by something wonderful - "enchantment". Third, when we become disillusioned by the thing. This is "disenchantment." Fourth, when we, fully accepting of the things limitations, become "re-enchanted" by how wonderful it really is. We discuss how this impacts how we can share the Gospel in a disenchanted age, as well as, how it helps us reflect on the Gospel during the Advent season.
The music this episode is "Deliverer / O Come O Come Emmanuel" by Camille Parkman, and can be found on Spotify and other music platforms for purchase or streaming.
