What makes a hero, Epic?

Back with another All Reading Counts episode, Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell discuss the Epic Poem, Beowulf! They talk about their history with this book, why it's still relevant today, and how we can learn to be a true hero from stories like this!

.

What is the story of Beowulf about? What is the true story of Beowulf? Is Beowulf A Saxon or Viking? What does Beowulf teach us? What happens at the end of the Beowulf? What race is Beowulf? What biblical figure is Grendel connected to? Why did Beowulf fight Grendel? What does Beowulf do after he kills Grendel's mother? Was the dragon in Beowulf evil? We discuss all this and more in this one! Join in the conversation with us on Discord now!

Systematic Geekology

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

About the Podcast

Systematic Geekology
Priests to the Geeks
This is not a trap! (Don't listen to Admiral Ackbar this time.) We are just some genuine geeks, hoping to explore some of our favorite content from a Christian lense that we all share. We will be focusing on the geek stuff - Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc. - but we will be asking questions like: "Do Clones have souls?" "Is Superman truly a Christ-figure?" or "Is it okay for Christians to watch horror films?"
