**On Mythic Mind:** [Who Failed Anakin Skywalker? (ep. 197)](https://mythicmindfellowship.com/who-failed-anakin-skywalker-mythic-mind-ep-197/)  
Who failed Anakin Skywalker: the Jedi, Palpatine, or Anakin himself? This Exploring the Psyche episode reads the fall through disordered desire, Boethius's wheel, and the harder freedom of ordered love.

## We are Christians, not Stoics

![Giovanni Bellini's painting The Agony in the Garden: Christ kneels in prayer on a rocky hill at dawn while three disciples sleep below and Judas leads soldiers from the distant city.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/54/105464a9-c7ec-44c0-8dd5-919677a2209f/content/images/2026/11/bellini-banner-2k.jpg)

**New in The Inkwell:** [We are Christians, not Stoics: C.S. Lewis on Anxiety and Grief](https://mythicmindfellowship.com/we-are-christians-not-stoics-c-s-lewis-on-anxiety-and-grief/)  
Why anxiety is an affliction rather than a sin, and how Lewis's own grief shows that faith does not require composure.
