The Cross before the Crown: Recent Episodes
Clark Moreland
A podcast supplementing a weekly study of the practical theology of C.S. Lewis at First Baptist Church, Midland, Texas, in Spring 2022. By Clark Moreland.
In this episode, Clark meditates on C.S. Lewis's "The Efficacy of Prayer" and how his son's prayer habits shed light on the importance of praying with the Personhood of God in mind.
In this episode, Clark surveys C.S. Lewis's views of whether Christians ought to fight in wars, and offers two takeaways from Lewis's humble approach to complex ethical topics that "do not admit of mathematical certainty."
In this episode of the Cross before the Crown podcast, Clark tells a story about presenting at an academic conference at the beginning of his career in 2008, and how he wishes he had heeded the wisdom about vocation and calling found in C.S. Lewis's "Learning in War-Time."
In this episode of the Cross before the Crown podcast, Clark tells a story about hiking through a burn scar in the Gila Wilderness and how he came to discover one of the greatest lessons of his life after reading C.S. Lewis's "The Weight of Glory."
In this first Cross before the Crown podcast, Clark talks about how the Second World War helped inform C.S. Lewis's sermon "The Weight of Glory," and encourages us to see that following our "Great Captain" means more than merely being unselfish.
