Hi friends, the classical Hero’s Journey greatly parallels our spiritual journey.🧙🦁 Using the Lion King, we’ll explore ten key stages of the Hero’s Journey identified by Joseph Campbell, drawing parallels with Jesus’ own life, death and resurrection.

Excerpt from episode:
"Stage 2: the Call to Adventure. At some point, there is a visitation from outside the home, that acts to draw the hero out … or at least shake him up out of his mundaneness. It is Hagrid coming to Harry and telling him he’s a wizard, Morpheus telling Neo to follow the white rabbit or Obi Wan suddenly appearing and offering a chance to rescue Leia. It is God the Father at Jesus baptism, commissioning him to leave Nazareth and begin his mission. Whatever form it takes, the call to adventure comes from beyond the home, calling the hero on somewhere further, newer or deeper. In the Lion King, this happens when Mufasa takes Simba out that first morning in order to show him the world, and to tell him that there was more to life than childish games, that one day he would be king and rule over all the pride lands. Confused at first, Simba agrees, and when he later sings ‘oh I just I can’t wait to be king’ he is fully embracing the call to adventure... "
