When Imagination Re-Enchants the World with Heather L.L. Fitzgerald - Unrefined Podcast

Author Heather L. L. Fitzgerald joins Brandon, Lindsy and Jen to explore the redemptive power of fantasy, storytelling, and imagination. Heather shares the inspiration behind The Tethered World Chronicles, a Christian fantasy series filled with Bigfoot, giants, hidden realms, family, faith, and adventure. The conversation examines the lingering effects of the satanic panic, the difference between discernment and fear, and whether Christians can engage fantasy without embracing the darkness sometimes associated with it. Brandon also shares how fantasy literature helped him through depression, restored his sense of wonder, and reawakened his belief in a supernatural God. From Narnia and Harry Potter to fairy lore, the Nephilim, childlike faith, creativity, and imposter syndrome, this episode considers how good stories can open our eyes to hope, beauty, courage, and the larger story God is telling.https://www.heatherllfitzgerald.com/Amazon link to the series:http://tiny.cc/ett7101Link to Realm Makershttps://www.bookishkop.com/blog post mentioned about fantasy
