I Speak for the Trees

Published on: 2nd March, 2024

Happy birthday Dr. Seuss!

What does it mean to speak for the trees? Today we are beginning our month long series Celebrate March where in each episode I will be sitting down to talk about someone who was born in the month of March who made an impact on faith, religion, pop culture, and in some cases all of the above. In this episode, my wife Claire joins the show to discuss the Illumination film The Lorax based on the book by Dr. Seuss. We discuss the impact Dr. Seuss continues to have on children's literature and entertainment. We give our honest thoughts on Illumination and their impact on children's entertainment. As we review the film, we get into the anti-capitalism, anti-industrialization, pro-environmental messages of the film and how we as Christians should respond to messages like that.

About the Podcast

My Seminary Life
My Seminary Life began as a way for my to chronicle my journey through finishing my Masters degree. After graduation, I began to turn my attention towards subjects that interest me or I was not required to take a class on in Seminary. I consider myself a life-long student, so even if I am not in a classroom environment, there is always something I am studying or learning about. My Seminary Life is the place where I keep those records of what I'm learning. If you're interested in people like CS Lewis and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, or in subjects like Homiletics and Cults, then you have come to the right place.
