The Moment Contains All Moments: A Conversation w/Joel Wentz on Lewis's Great Divorce

Welcome to Episode 8 of 9 in our series on C.S. Lewis's novel The Great Divorce. 

Today's conversation features Joel Wentz. In this episode, Joel and I discuss the miracle of the redemption of disordered desires, why The Great Divorce is a great book for a neighborhood book club, the proper terror of A Wrinkle in Time, and possible reasons for the manner in which Lewis portrayed George MacDonald's theology of the ultimate redemption of all people (Christian universalism).

Joel and his wife Jill live with their two children in Portland, Maine. Joel has been in vocational ministry for 12 years. Joel spent 8 years as a campus minister with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, and he has served for the past 4 years in his current role as teaching pastor at Missio Dei Church.  https://www.mdchurch.org

Joel is also a musician, a big fan of tabletop games and an avid reader. He reviews books and occasionally interviews authors on his YouTube channel "Books and Big Ideas".
