C. S. Lewis & Longing | A Conversation with Michael Ward

What is the deep longing that runs through C. S. Lewis’s life and writings? In this conversation, world-leading C. S. Lewis scholar Dr. Michael Ward explores Lewis’s understanding of longing, the ache for something beyond this world, and why it lies at the heart of his imagination, faith, and storytelling. Drawing on Lewis’s fiction, theology, and personal reflections, Michael Ward unpacks the idea Lewis called Sehnsucht: a desire that points beyond itself, stirring us through beauty, myth, and story. From The Chronicles of Narnia to Lewis’s own spiritual journey, this conversation reveals how longing became a signpost toward joy, truth, and God. 00:00 - Introduction 02:37 - The Central Theme 04:08 - Sehnsucht 06:32 - Why Everyone Feels Longing 08:21 - The Argument from Desire 09:00 - The Weight of Glory 12:14 - Longing and Childhood 15:14 - Personal Longing 18:18 - Longing & Modern Culture 19:17 - The Tragedy of Longing 22:18 - Till We Have Faces 26:04 - Signposts for God 29:53 - Christian Longing 31:39 - Longing for Relationship 38:51 - Indescribable Longing 39:56 - Is God a Place? 41:40 - Why We Long For A Place 43:30 - We Are Far Too Easily Pleased Subscribe for more conversations on faith, culture, imagination, and meaning.
