Dr. Rusty Reno
Overview
We live in a moment marked by noise, confusion, and a deep weariness of spirit. Truth feels elusive. Trust feels fragile. Many of us sense that something essential, wonder, joy, and meaning, has gone missing.
What if the way forward begins by looking back?
In this class, we turn to four guides who faced cultural upheaval in their own time and responded with courage, imagination, and deep faith. C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, G.K. Chesterton, and John Stott each show us how to carry the Christian faith faithfully and compellingly into a modern world that often feels disenchanted.
By studying how they confronted doubt, secularism, and cultural change, we gain tools for our own moment. We learn not only how to think clearly, but how to see again. This class is an invitation to recover wonder, rekindle joy, and rediscover the deeper world behind the wardrobe.
Come be re-enchanted.
