Join Joshua David Ling as he rallies the troops to answer these questions and promote the best artists for God's Glory. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/poetsatwar/support

Like the Inklings of old, The Brood gathers monthly to document their progress, celebrate victories, work through challenges, and pursue the calling of creating narrative art that points toward truth, goodness, beauty, and the Kingdom of God.

So, let me tell you about something deep—

Last time we talked heroic calls, but now let's keep

Going with this journey stuff, this plan

Discovered by a guy named Joseph Campbell, a thinking man.

Back in the forties, maybe fifty or so,

He wrote this book that you should probably know:

"Hero with a Thousand Faces," that's the name,

And though it's definitely not Christian, all the same-

It's crucial that believers understand

What Campbell wrote, and how his thoughts expand

Through academic circles, spreading wide.

See, mixed with all his psychobabble rides

These brilliant truths about the human soul.

(Chesterton said truth makes lies seem whole—

"It takes a lot of truth to float a lie."

These words still echo as the years go by.)

Now, after that first Call we talked about before,

Comes something real: Refusal at opportunity’s door.

Think Luke Skywalker, saying "No, I can't go"

Until those Storm Troopers brought his world down low.

Or Frodo—man, he dawdled in the Shire,

Dragging feet while danger crept up higher.

The books show more than movies ever could

How much he hesitated—understood?

And let's go back to Eden's perfect scene:

Adam, Eve, refusing what they'd been

Called to do—stay righteous, stay the course—

Leading to that cosmic-level force

Of sin entering our human story.

(Not exactly covered in glory.)

"Make your choice, adventurous stranger.

Strike the bell and bide the danger,

Or wonder, till it drives you mad,

What would have followed if you had."

CS Lewis. The Magician’s Nephew

That's Lewis speaking truth about the way

These calls can haunt us to our dying day.

See, sometimes when adventure comes around,

Instead of trumpets, terror is what we’ve found.

The risk feels massive, and we freeze up tight,

Thinking "No way can I handle this, right?"

But here's the thing that's equally intense:

That nagging "what if" rarely makes much sense.

Listen—when we dodge the righteous call,

We're setting up an equal, opposite fall.

Show starts at 04:18

This is where predestination hits:

God knows our choices, every single one fits.

Without that truth to anchor to, we'd crack

Under the weight of choices looking back.

But Aslan gives this wisdom we should hear:

”II tell no one any story but his own."—that's all we need to hold near.

Don't get stuck replaying bad decisions,

We've all been there, seen those harsh divisions.

But here's what's real: Don’t refuse! Break the chain!

Of generational stuff? Otherwise you're choosing pain—

Setting up your kids, their kids as well,

For cycles that get harder and could lead straight to hell.

Campbell himself? He made a choice,

Found Catholic faith, in his last moment’s voice.

Time will tell what came of his days,

But here's the truth that matters nowadays:

Like one small hobbit changed his world for good,

The smallest choice can change more than it would.

We can't see endings, can't know what's ahead,

But God ordained it all, like I just said.

He's commanding you to make your choice—

Time won't pause to hear your second voice.

All we've got (and this is straight-up true)

Is choosing what with our time we'll do.

The call refused might feel safe and feel right,

But missing God’s blessing? That's the harder fight.

Like Tolkien knew, and showed through Bilbo's tale:

Small choices made can tip the cosmic scale.

Even the smallest person's "yes" or "no"

Can change which way the future's going to go.

Explore the contrasting metaphors of walls in this reflective poetic analysis by Joshua David Ling.

Through parallel narratives of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and Peter Leithart's "The Bleeding Tree," the

piece examines opposing views of individuality and purpose. It weaves cultural references,

theological imagery, and personal anecdotes to contrast institutional conformity with divine

transformation. The poem addresses fundamental questions about personal identity, institutional

power, and the nature of true fulfillment. Discover how these competing visions of human destiny -

one of crushing uniformity, the other of purposeful transformation - illuminate different paths for

individual meaning and collective belonging.

I regularly use AI for youtube descriptions. But I'm specifically not doing that here for a reason, and the reason is this: What I have to say in this General's Report is so against the grain of the modern age that I can't get AI to recognize the existence of my perspective.

So listen up. God is King and he cannot be thwarted by the crafts of his court wizards and inventors nor the machinations of the enemy. Stop acting like this is the case.

If you wish to not partake, don't. If you wish to change things, do it decisively.

Everybody each and all

We're gonna die eventually

It's no more or less our faults

Than it is our destiny

So now Lord I come to you

Asking only for Your grace

You know what I've put myself through

All those empty dreams I chased

And when my body lies in the ruins

Of the lies that nearly ruined me

Will You pick up the pieces

That were pure and true

And breathe Your life into them

And set them free?

And when/if You start this world over

Again from scratch

Will You make me anew

Out of the stuff that lasts

Stuff that's purer than gold is

And clearer than glass could ever be

Can I be with You?

Can I be with You?

And everybody all and each

From the day that we are born

We have to learn to walk beneath

Those mercies by which we're drawn

And now we wrestle in the dark

With these angels that we can't see

We will move on although with scars

Oh Lord move inside of me

And when my body lies in the ruins

Of the lies that nearly ruined me

Will You pick up the pieces

That were pure and true

And breathe Your life into them

And set them free?

And when/if You blast this cosmos

To kingdom come

When those jagged-edged mountains

I love are gone

When the sky is crossed with the tears

Of a thousand falling suns

As they crash into the sea

Can I be with you?

Can I be with you?

Notes I read off of:

  1. Introduction

Who this book is for

Why I am writing it

  1. What is a Bard?

Shakespeare

Medieval Minstrel

Dungeons and Dragons

The Celtic Wizard Conclusion:

  1. Why does your family need one?

Remind

Rejoice

Revitalize

Re-train

  1. How will having a Bard in your family affect the world around you?

History will be preserved rightly

Your family will become less pessimistic.

Your family will have strength for trials and the mundane.

Your logical theology will become unshakeable by emotions.

Your family will know what came before, they will be excited for the future, they will have the strength to face the present, and they will be unshakeable before the world.

  1. How to be your Family's Bard

Read Poetry and Fiction Aloud and often

Play Music Often

Look for opportunities to quote things they already know.

Make and Preserve a Family History

It's a lifestyle of discipleship, NOT cramming information.

  1. Conclusion/Exhortation

Poets At War is a podcast where Christians who are artists, artisans, and creators are a unique unit in The War on Culture. They're often over and under-estimated at the same time. What does it take to be an artist, and what does it take to win the culture war? Join Joshua David Ling as he rallies the troops to answer these questions and promote the best artists for God's Glory.
