Hi ,

I think we can all agree: there is no moment in literature quite like the cracking of the Stone Table.

When I first read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to my kids, I remember the silence in the room when Aslan allowed himself to be bound. It’s the moment the "Deep Magic" meets the "Deeper Magic."

As parents, we often want to jump straight to the resurrection—to the joy and the victory. We want our kids to be happy.

But C.S. Lewis didn’t skip the night at the Table. He knew that for children to truly understand Grace, they first have to understand Sacrifice.

He shows us that even though Edmund deserved the penalty, Aslan took the strike.

This is the heartbeat of what I call "Faithful Family" Discipleship. It’s not about memorizing facts; it’s about sitting with our children in the quiet moments of a story and asking: "Why do you think the Lion stayed still?"

I’m curious—when you’ve read or watched Narnia with your family, which character does your child identify with most?

Is it the bravery of Peter? The heart of Lucy? Or the "work-in-progress" nature of Edmund?

Hit "Reply" and let me know. I’m currently putting together some special "Character Deep-Dives" for the Lenten season and I want to make sure I cover the ones your kids love most.

Blessings,

Craig
