Thornton sets sail for the Eastern Seas to explore one of the most beloved—and perhaps most searching—of the Chronicles: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
Joined by author Katherine Langrish (https://www.katherinelangrish.co.uk/) (From Spare Oom to War Drobe), we dive deep into a story that is less a military campaign and more a spiritual pilgrimage.
Together they discuss:
Personal Memories of Dawn Treader
Lewis’s layered storytelling and moral imagination
Aslan's character across the Narnia series
The thematic depths across Narnia

🍵 Featured Tea: Voyage of the Dawn Treader Blend
Set sail with a luminous white tea blend inspired by the Eastern Sea. Notes of white peony, white peach, eternal spring, and orange peel create a bright, hopeful cup—like dawn breaking over Aslan’s Country.

Triumph of the Heart
In this episode of The Mere C.S. Lewis Podcast, I’m joined by filmmaker Anthony D’Ambrosio, director of the new movie Triumph of the Heart (https://www.triumphoftheheart.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com). This powerful film examines and celebrates the life of St. Maximilian Kolbe, a Catholic priest and martyr during the Holocaust, whose act of sacrificial love continues to inspire people across the world today.
Anthony shares the vision behind the film, the challenges of bringing such a profound story to the screen, and why Kolbe’s life resonates so deeply with our modern world. Together, we discuss the intersection of Lewis and Kolby and how stories of courage, sacrifice, and faith can change the way we view our own lives.
If you’re interested in faith, history, or powerful storytelling that bridges past and present, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
