Journey Through Dante's Inferno with Jake Loco on Godcast
So it's been A Week since I've had any interviews and now I can pull up all five of these people who have joined the patreon. I was kind of just doing it for fun and, uh, so I'm so happy that it's been received like that.
What do a high school teacher, a social media expert, and a man of faith have in common? Meet Jake Loco, the guest on this episode of Godcast. Todd Armstrong sits down with Jake to discuss his unique perspective on two vastly different yet equally compelling topics: the Sandy Hook tragedy and Dante's Inferno. Jake shares his firsthand experience of being a senior at Newtown High School, just a mile away from Sandy Hook, during the infamous event.
He opens up about the questions and conspiracies that still surround that day, offering a personal lens on a national tragedy. But that's just the beginning. The conversation then takes a fascinating turn as they delve into Dante's Inferno. Jake, an English teacher with a deep love for literature, breaks down the nine rings of hell and the characters Dante encounters. His insights make this classic work feel incredibly relevant to our modern lives.
From the symbolism of each circle to the alchemical principles woven into the narrative, Jake and Todd explore how these ancient themes resonate today. Throughout the episode, they touch on the power of prayer, the importance of community, and the idea of finding one's tribe. It's a rich, multifaceted discussion that blends personal anecdotes with broader reflections on faith and spirituality.
