Are myths a waste of time, or do they hold profound relevance in our modern world? Today we explore this question with author John Hendrix as he reveals how J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis understood the enduring power of mythology in an age that prioritized reason and science.

Join us as we unpack how myths provide more than mere entertainment. They offer a portal to explore universal human experiences, our longing for the new heavens and earth, and our desire to be part of a greater narrative. In an era where modernity has "exhausted us," find out why mythical stories continue to resonate and provide a sense of belonging that transcends the limitations of a merely fact-based worldview.
