On this Thursday edition of Chesterton Radio Daybreak, we journey through one of the most beautiful passages in the Gospel of John — “I have called you friends” — and explore the mystery of friendship, sacrifice, and abiding in the love of Christ.
We begin with Chesterton Radio Morning Prayer and a spring morning in Atchison, Kansas, where warm winds move through the hills above the Missouri River as Benedictine College prepares for commencement weekend.
Then we enter the world of The Lantern Road — a new Chesterton Radio fantasy adventure inspired by Narnia, The Princess and the Goblin, The Cinnamon Bear, and classic BBC storytelling. Join us as we discuss The Tall Girl, The Keeper, and Kitty the faithful black-and-white dog on a journey through forgotten roads, hidden kingdoms, lantern-lit forests, and the aching beauty of growing up.
We also reflect on the final days of the academic year at Benedictine College, upcoming commencement events, and the enduring charm of the Atchison Farmers Market — one of those ordinary human traditions that reminds us the world is still full of wonder.
Broadcast from Chesterton Radio in Atchison, Kansas.
