Not as a validation play. But as a relationship-building invitation. He breaks down: Why a podcast is one of the most powerful, scalable invitations you can offer How it unlocks access to extraordinary people and meaningful conversations Why thoughtful outreach (and being an offering) differentiates you from the noise The hidden gift of podcasting: an hour of undivided attention in an age of fractured focus The story of how publishing his podcast late cost him exponential returns — and what finally pushed him to “sing his song” How a podcast interview led to a 40-day adventure through 11 national parks Why long-form conversations create deeper connection than networking ever could How to use a podcast as a tool for adventure, identity shift, and creative integrity In this conversation, Michael Trainer reflects on his journey of sharing profound conversations through podcasting. He discusses the initial hesitation driven by ego and the transformative impact that committing to share his voice has had on his life.

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.)
