Zane Blanchard is a native Louisianan and graduate of Louisiana College who is preparing to go to Seminary for pastoral ministry. He is a former Roman Catholic that has an interesting story to tell about his journey from Catholicism to Christ.



If you know any Roman Catholics or people who are trying to understand a bit of the difference, then I recommend this episode to you. While it may not be a point-by-point refutation of Roman Catholic teaching. It is nevertheless a powerful story of a young man coming to faith in the true Christ of Christianity. I hope this episode blesses you!

Elijah Chambless is a student at LSU who has a great interest in the arts and film. We have had many conversations where we have enjoyed dissecting films and the ideas behind them.   

This inevitably leads us to talk about the role of stories. Shakespeare was the best writer of all time when it came to fictional stories. He was a master of the craft. If you've never read Shakespeare or only enjoyed one of his works, we hope this discussion with encourage you to see in an age of mostly banal films, why Shakespeare is important for this art form today.
