Back in the basement for Part 2 of our Basement Recordings. A large group of guys sit down and talk through Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway—a story where everything important is happening beneath the surface. We wrestle with what’s really going on and why it matters.

This week’s Lit Hour is a packed one! Twelve guys in a basement talking through the short story Araby by James Joyce. You need not to have read the story to hear this episode, although it is helpful to read it yourself.

In this episode, we discuss topics such as childhood crushes and the importance of fiction. A big goal with Lit Hour is to use good literature to push us toward truth. We hope you enjoy this conversation.

In this episode, we sit down with one of the pastors here at CTW to talk about the true meaning of Easter; not just as a holiday, but as the foundation of the Christian faith.

We walk through the story from Maundy Thursday to Good Friday to Resurrection Sunday, and discuss why the resurrection of Jesus Christ changes everything. What do people often misunderstand about Easter? Why is the resurrection so essential to Christianity? And how should it shape the way we live the rest of the year?

Whether you’ve heard the Easter story your whole life or are wrestling with doubts, this conversation aims to bring clarity, depth, and renewed awe for what Christ has done.

Book recommendation by Andrew:
Persecution in the Early Church by Herbert Workman

How do you honor God with your money? Dominic and Kevin join us to talk about generosity, fighting financial worry, and learning to hold money with open hands. A practical, convicting conversation on trusting God with what you’ve been given.

What comes to mind when you hear the term “brainwashing”? Many think of manipulation and control, but what if it actually meant cleansing the mind? In a culture filled with spiritual and satanic pollution, Christians must intentionally renew their minds with truth. Join us as we explore what it really means to be “brainwashed” as followers of Christ.
