Stories are more powerful than you think… (Russell Moore)

Описание: What if stories are more than just entertainment? In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Russell Moore — author, theologian, and editor-in-chief of Christianity Today — for a rich conversation about Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and the unexpected ways that stories shape our moral imagination, deepen our love for the world, and help us see others more clearly. Whether you’re a longtime lover of fantasy or just curious about the power of storytelling, this episode will challenge how you think about fiction, faith, and imagination. After this, you’ll never look at stories the same way again.
