Take the Red Pill — Wake Up to the Narrative Wars with Joshua C. Faltot! (Podcast #34)

It’s like being in the Matrix and taking the red pill. You begin to realize what’s going on: the narrative wars. And now you want the brutal truth about reality—and the freedom it unleashes. You’re ready to unleash your Life Voice …

Joshua Faltot and I found ourselves relaxing on adirondack chairs on a late summer evening. The only thing lacking were pipes. You know, we fancy ourselves after the order of C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, and some friends, in a corner of an English pub with pipes in hand, discussing ideas that matter. Something like that.

Our Dialogue Edges on the Narrative Wars

  • We underscore the need to cultivate a strong inner narrative … greater than the false narratives surrounding us.
  • The human quest for a greater storyline, a grand arc over our lives.
  • How our life as a micro narrative can be woven into a macro narrative — we can be co-creators with the Ultimate Creative.
  • From the place of a strong life narrative, we are positioned to engage the narrative wars.
  • Do we have a passion to find our voice and create content instead of merely consuming it?

“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men (and women) to shut up” … indeed, that’s a paraphrase of Edmund Burke’s famous statement.

Take the red pill with us — we go further. This is part one of our conversation about narrative wars. Be sure to listen to next week’s episode for more of our dialogue.
