Lewis’s great novel, Till We Have Faces. A reimagining of the ancient myth of Cupid and Psyche, Lewis’s 1956 novel is a profound meditation on divine providence and revelation.<br /><br />Pegors unpacks how Lewis uses this myth not just to retell an old story, but to reveal the depth of the oldest story—God’s true story. The discussion delves into the theological richness of the novel, discusses the power of story, and reflects on why Till We Have Faces resonates so deeply with those wrestling with faith, doubt, and the hiddenness of God.<br /><br />Whether you’re new to the novel or a longtime admirer, this thoughtful conversation will deepen your appreciation for one of Lewis’s most complex and moving works.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65787127</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Apr 2025 10:00:21 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/65787127/mindset_022r.mp3" length="109873110" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Worldview Academy</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode of Mindset, host Mike Schutt sits down with guest Nathan Pegors to explore C.S.

Lewis’s great novel, Till We Have Faces. A reimagining of the ancient myth of Cupid and Psyche, Lewis’s 1956 novel is a profound meditation on divine providence and revelation.<br /><br />Pegors unpacks how Lewis uses this myth not just to retell an old story, but to reveal the depth of the oldest story—God’s true story. The discussion delves into the theological richness of the novel, discusses the power of story, and reflects on why Till We Have Faces resonates so deeply with those wrestling with faith, doubt, and the hiddenness of God.<br /><br />Whether you’re new to the novel or a longtime admirer, this thoughtful conversation will deepen your appreciation for one of Lewis’s most complex and moving works.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3434</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/d991d1c4c42a965fd4aade6c5b7581a7.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>The Power of Stories</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-power-of-stories--65088981</link><description><![CDATA[Why are stories so important to us?
