0:00.0	Hello my friends welcome back to Unshaken I'm Jared Halverson and I've got a question to start this lesson
0:14.9	for any of you who have read the Chronicles of Narnia or the the Lord of the Rings series or seen
0:21.2	Star Wars?
0:22.8	And the question is this, when did it first dawn on you
0:26.0	that there's a lot more to these stories than meets the eye?
0:29.3	When did it hit you that there is a message and meaning

1:28.0	He will descend through hell, basically, and yet somehow come out the other side and no longer has Gandolf the
1:36.4	gray but has Gandolf the white with more power than he'd ever had something's
1:41.7	going on here.
1:43.0	In the Star Wars movies, it's like, wait a minute, the force is faith?
1:50.0	And Yoda is Spencer W Kimble?
