The Ben Shapiro Show

Jonathan Pageau is a French-Canadian liturgical artist, writer, and public speaker on religious philosophy, symbolism, and Orthodox Christianity. Pageau’s commentary can be found on his YouTube channel, “The Symbolic World,” as well as in Dr. Jordan B. Peterson’s 17-part “Exodus” seminar and The Daily Wire’s latest series, “Foundations of the West.” In today’s episode, Jonathan and I discuss the biblical themes found in classical fairy tales like “Jack and the Beanstalk,” and the important role that storytelling plays in establishing our most deeply held cultural norms. Pageau also speaks to the modern uses of symbolism, from the prevalence of conspiracy theories to the real meaning behind the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics. Stay tuned, and welcome back to another episode of the Sunday Special. - - -  Today’s Sponsors: ExpressVPN - Get 3 Months FREE of ExpressVPN: https://expressvpn.com/ben ZipRecruiter - Try ZipRecruiter for FREE: https://www.ziprecruiter.comdailywire Tax Network USA - Seize control of your financial future!

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Captain Sam Brown, the Republican Senate candidate in Nevada. I spoke with Sam on the 16th anniversary of his Alive Day, the day of his near-death experience. Brown's personal story is inspiring, and a testament to the purpose he still has to serve others. - - - Today’s Sponsor: Lumen - Get 15% off your purchase! https://lumen.me/SHAPIRO
