Recently, I contributed on an ATC podcast to a review of Joan of Arc. (Click the link to be taken to the Audio Theatre Central page where you can listen!)
Joan of Arc is a person who has fascinated people for centuries for all kinds of different reasons. I had a cursory knowledge of her story from a gloss in a history textbook when I was in high school, and had recently listened to a short podcast with a few more details. This audio drama by Paul McCusker takes you there, and brilliantly places you in the position of the people who were trying to decide if she was legit or not.
There are themes from this Catholic audio drama that make me uncomfortable with her story, but there are other things that seem clear as day, and exactly how God would work. The result was that this audio drama prompted good thoughts and conversation about following God no matter what people around you say, and being willing to allow God to work in unconventional ways. Are we willing to hear His voice through unlikely people? Are we open to a genuine move of God if it steps on our toes theologically?

Listen on the Augustine Institute website! (As of the date of this post, you can listen to the drama for free!)
