On our next episode
We’ll explore a big question that Christian fantasy fans can’t stop talking about: Should Christians “look for the Christian label” for novels, movies, music and other things that Christian creators make? How do we recognize our own associations with the label—such as a “seal of quality” or a “seal” that guarantees anything but quality?
E. Stephen Burnett creates sci-fi, fantasy, and beyond as well as nonfiction, such as The Pop Culture Parent: Helping Kids Engage Their World for Christ (coauthored with Ted Turnau and Jared Moore), which releases Sept. 7, 2020 from New Growth Press. Stephen explores biblical truth and fantastic stories as publisher of Lorehaven Magazine and cohost of the Fantastical Truth podcast. He and his wife, Lacy, live in the Austin area, help with foster parenting, and serve as members of Southern Hills Baptist Church.
Looks like these are going to be archived on this site, too, which is nice since it doesn’t look like you guys are on youtube and it’s easier for me not to have to subscribe to yet another email list or make an account on yet another site right now.
Do you tend to fetch your podcasts from YouTube, then?
Yeah, since those are where I usually find them, or the bloggers I listen to usually end up being available there, too. Plus I already check my Youtube subscription feed every day. Might start using Vlare too, though. Haven’t looked into it much but it sounds like it might end up being a decent competitor for Youtube.
Autumn, that is interesting and helpful to know, thanks for sharing. Come to think of it, there are some daily astronomy shows (basically podcasts) that I “listen to” through YouTube on my TV.
Hey Autumn, quick follow-up. The podcast is now on YouTube:
