A second conversation with Eugenia Cheng

from Failing Boldly · host Christian Coon

I first recorded a podcast with mathematician & musician Eugenia Cheng in 2018 after reading her book "How to Bake Pi." I loved our conversation and so was delighted when she reached out to me last fall about possibly recording another podcast, this time on a different topic. Eugenia had recently had a final traumatic pregnancy loss which ended her hopes of ever bearing children, after several years of painful attempts and miscarriages. In her looking for attempt to look for resources to help her through this experience, she was frustrated that this issue wasn't talked about more and felt led to share openly about her own experience. I'm grateful for Eugenia's openness, vulnerability honesty in talking about this difficult subject. To learn more about Eugenia, you can go to her website.

Community Bible Fellowship Church CBFC Red Hill, PA Biblical Teaching and Instruction straight from God's Word. Seeking to proclaim Truth rightly and boldly. C.S. Lewis's The Last Battle St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC Come join us on Wednesday nights as we explore the riches of C.S. Lewis’s marvelous book The Last Battle, which is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a remarkable book on multiple levels and was awarded the Carnegie Medal back in the 1950s when it was first published. The Last Battle has some themes in common with The Great Divorce and That Hideous Strength that will make it an excellent follow-up to those two books, and like them, it has some remarkable resonance with things going on in today’s culture. It is a book that is both theologically rich and poignantly beautiful in its writing, and it can help equip us to live boldly for Christ in a culture that has lost its way. (Although this book is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia, it can stand on its own and it is not necessary to have read the other books for this class.) That Hideous Strength: C.S. Lewis on Living Wisely St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC In the foreword to his novel "That Hideous Strength," Lewis says it is a fictionalized story that seeks to illustrate the main points he makes in "The Abolition of Man." Join us as we unpack the important themes in this eerily prescient book and reflect on what it means for us today in terms of living boldly for Christ in an increasingly secular age.
