A 3,000-year-old story hits surprisingly close to home as Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke wrap up their journey through Homer's Odyssey. Al gets personal about his and Lisa's marriage struggles, infidelity, and the hard road to restoration, while the guys consider what the ancient epic reveals about the importance of marriage, fatherhood, and the foundations of civilization. They also revisit the Robertsons' notoriously competitive family game nights, debate the difference between justice and revenge, and Zach connects the Odyssey's homecoming to the Gospel and explains how an ancient story ultimately points toward Jesus.
In this episode: Romans 1:20; Galatians 5:22–23; 1 Timothy; 2 Timothy; Matthew 25:31–46; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 15:19; Luke 16:19–31; John 10:10; Acts 17:24–31
Today’s conversation is about Lessons 11 & 12 of The Odyssey taught by Hillsdale Professor Dr. Benedict Whalen. Take the course with us at no cost to you!
