What is it that makes ghost stories so much fun? Is it just that they’re scary and suspenseful and make us jump? Or is something deeper going on? What if these eerie tales of things that go bump in the night are actually lifting the veil and shining light on something real and good and true about the world? In this episode, Andrew Peterson (singer-songwriter, author, and poet) investigates these questions and tries to get at the heart of why these stories fill us with such a delightful shiver.

The Delightful Shiver (Part 1 of 2)

If you’ve grown bored with church feeling like five pop songs and a Ted Talk, you’re not alone. The church has lost its way. The songs, prayers and practices from generations of Christians before have much to teach us about the kind of Jesus-following life we don’t often see in our world today. Through them, we learn things like stillness, loving our enemies, grieving and forgiving—becoming Christlike people of mercy, joy and love.

In this conversation, John explores the challenges in illustrating, adapting, and interpreting scripture in a visual form. Using the Holy Ghost comics, his picture book retellings of Bible stories, and his Sunday
sketchbook practice, John will highlight and explore the dangers and opportunities of adaptation. Expanding beyond an audience of those who regularly make art, he’ll discuss cultivating a regular practice of drawing for the non-artist.

Tolkien famously described world history as a “long defeat,” since human efforts to overcome evil are ultimately doomed to failure. But the gospel still offers hope because of Christ’s ultimate victory. Endo’s novel, Silence, depicts the crushing challenges of bringing the gospel to Japan; Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev buckled under the horrors of Stalin’s Soviet regime and expresses his pain through his 7th Symphony. However, in different ways, both articulate hope against the odds.
