Summary

In this week's episode, we continue our book study on the Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe Chapters 5-8. We reflect deeper on the story and how it relates to our spiritual lives. Themes such as the battle of light and darkness, jealousy and making others feel small, the power of the name of Jesus, surrender vs control and how the story of Narnia is an echo of what our hearts long for in Christ.

Journal Questions:

Who can I go to who will speak wisdom into my life?
Like Edmund, are there any places in my life that I feel fear when I think about God?
What parts of my heart have been turned to stone and need the warmth of God’s hand to bring them back to life?

Discussion Questions:

What is one truth about God that you can see in your story?
Where do you need to grow into your royal identity as a daughter of God?
Discuss the truth about how the name of Jesus contains His presence. How could this change how you pray?
“He isn’t safe, but He’s good.” How have you experienced the truth of this quote?

Quote to Ponder:

“"Safe?" said Mr. Beaver ..."Who said anything about safe? Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.”” - (Mr. Beaver) C.S. Lewis - The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe

Scripture for Lectio:

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true. He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children." - Revelation 21:4-7
