Eucatastrophe: Turning Points in Biblical Narratives

There is nothing in this life that can cause a Christian to lose hope. Why? Because we follow the Author of history—His-story—the God of eucatastrophe.

Eucatastrophe, a term coined by renowned author J.R.R. Tolkien, describes the powerful theme throughout Scripture where stories of seeming catastrophe suddenly take a dramatic turn for good at the last possible moment.

In this episode, Scott, Dwight, and Luke explore how understanding eucatastrophe can transform a Christian's perspective on hope, faith, tribulation, and suffering. Join them as they unpack this profound concept through Scripture, literature, and its relevance in today’s challenges, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, God is the author of the redemptive story.
