Christians and Magic: Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and More w/C.R. Wiley
Growing up in the church I had many found memories of my parents reading C.S.Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia out loud to my siblings and I before bed. Later I would go on to discover for myself J.R.R. Tolkiens The Hobbit and eventually The Lord of the Rings. However, I also have memories of my parents banning my brothers and I from reading or watching Harry Potter. I'm sure Ive described the childhood of many of you listeners just now. Fans of the show may have also notice I've condemned the rise of witchcraft and other pagan practices we see in our culture today. So the question needs to be asked, are Christians suffering from cognitive dissonance when it comes to how we handle magic? On this episode of Forge and Anvil I will be joined by author C.R.Wiley to try to answer this very question.

Were the Crusades Really That Bad? w/Raymond Ibrahim
When attempting to gain power, inconvenient truths are often ignored by those in charge of crafting the narrative. One such narrative we see today is the idea that the crusades are a dark blotch on the history of Christ's church. These crusades are depicted as being a time when Christians wrongly pillaged non-believing communities and forced individuals to convert or die at the hand of sword. However, myself and many others like me have often wondered what inconvenient truths are being ignored in order to craft this narrative of evil Christians neglecting Christ's teachings and killing innocents? On This episode of Forge and Anvil I will be joined by author Raymond Ibrahim to ask the question: Were the crusades really as bad as we've been told? All this and more.
