Why do Christians care so much about what Hollywood does with Aslan? In C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan is not merely an allegory for Christ, he is Lewis’s imagined Christ figure in the world of Narnia. So when Hollywood reimagines one of the most explicitly Christian characters in modern literature, Christians should pay attention. On this episode of the Give Me Liberty Podcast, Ryan Helfenbein sits down with conservative Christian creator and host Kangmin Lee to discuss the controversy surrounding the upcoming Chronicles of Narnia adaptation and what it reveals about the broader battle over Christian culture. They discuss:• Why Aslan matters to the Christian imagination• Why changing Aslan’s character is more significant than a typical Hollywood “race swap” or “gender swap”• C.S. Lewis, Christianity, and the meaning behind Narnia• Why Christians should fight for truth, goodness, AND beauty• The decline of Christian influence in Western culture• Why stories, music, art, and architecture shape how we understand the world• Charlie Kirk’s legacy and the importance of authentic Christian faith• What “Christ is King” actually means—and what it looks like to submit to Christ as Lord. This conversation is ultimately about much more than a movie. It is about whether Christians will preserve the stories, traditions, beauty, and truth that have shaped Western civilization—or surrender them to a culture that increasingly rejects their Christian foundations.
