In this special edition of the CS Lewis Podcast, we’re sharing a conversation first recorded for the Lesser Known Lewis podcast, kindly made available for our listeners. Ruth Jackson joins hosts Jordan Duncan and Sean Stevenson Douglas to explore one of Lewis’s lesser-known apologetic essays, written in 1945, and ask how it speaks to today’s cultural moment. Together they reflect on truth, authenticity, beauty, and imagination in Christian apologetics, especially in a post-Christian, post-modern age. The discussion ranges from Lewis’s defence of objective truth to the power of beauty, story, and lived faith, with rich reflections on Narnia, miracles, politics, and the modern search for meaning. A thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation that shows just how timeless, and timely, Lewis remains.

Dr Crystal Hurd - an educator, poet, and researcher from Virginia - and host Ruth Jackson explore what leadership looks like through the lens of CS Lewis, not as power or prominence, but as quiet faithfulness in everyday life. Crystal reflects on Lewis’ conviction that most leadership happens far from the spotlight: in homes, classrooms, churches, and communities, where ordinary people shape others through character, humility, and care.
The discussion ranges from Lewis’ fictional leaders such as Lucy Pevensie and Orual, to his warnings about the temptations of authority and the need to remain grounded in God. Crystal also addresses accusations of misogyny, drawing on Lewis’ letters, friendships, and advocacy for women such as Elizabeth Anscombe.
Together, Ruth Jackson and Crystal Hurd ask what it means to “light the corner you’re in”—and why Lewis believed such leadership still has the power to change the world.
