🎙️ Episode 52 – Story, Symbol, and Meaning: Another Legacy Highlight with Jonathan Pageau

In this second Lion Legacy Highlight with Orthodox icon carver and symbolic thinker Jonathan Pageau, we dive even deeper into the intersection of faith, art, EMDR therapy, and how storytelling reveals hidden meaning in our lives.

Jonathan reflects on the cultural moment we're in—where meaning is collapsing for many, and how recovering symbolic thinking may be the key to healing our fractured world.

🔍 We explore:

• Why modern culture feels fragmented, anxious, and void of meaning
• The collapse of religious authority and narrative coherence
• How symbolism isn’t abstraction—it’s structure for the soul
• Why humans are wired for meaning, not just information
• The surprising overlap between trauma therapy and symbolic thinking

If you've ever felt disconnected from the deeper meaning of your life—or if you're looking for a way to integrate faith, art, healing, and masculine identity—this short-form conversation is rich with insight.
