Amazon's The Rings of Power and HBO's House of the Dragon are two of the hottest shows out right now. In this episode, we dig deep into the authors, fantasy universes and worldviews behind The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
How are these works similar and different? How do the new series fit into the larger universes? How are Tolkien's and Martin's sensibilities reflected in our current culture? Our politics? The church? And how do these fantasy worlds ultimately relate to the faith?
Come along for Your Sunday Drive - quick conversation about current events, politics, pop culture and more, from the perspective of a couple of guys trying to follow Jesus.
Hosts: Matt Hill and Nate Polzin. Presented by the Church in Drive of Saginaw, MI, as often as possible. Please visit churchindrive.com and facebook.com/thechurchindrive
