In 2019, I wrote a dissertation on Judeo-Christian Sacral Kingship and Final Fantasy XV. That research earned me a doctorate, and an opportunity to teach at the college level. Because of COVID, I moved my academic lectures online, which paved the way to this channel. Now, what I teach in actual college classes, I make available to you. Finally, it is my honor to welcome you to the Final Fantasy XV Lecture Series.

What makes a good King? Is it as simple as wisdom? Or having strength or determination or is it something more something more Like the ability to create a place for people to provide for their needs and their welfare to know what must be done to bring Justice to feel heartbreak when everything falls apart to know whether it's the
right time to execute wrath or a time to show Mercy Taking from ancient near Eastern kingship narratives especially those found
in the Jewish and Christian Bible Fina
l Fantasy 15 examines sacral kingship through
the Ascension story of one reluctant Prince Noctis and in this series I want you to see how his story intersects with the stories of
King David, Saul, and others but more than anything I want you to see how
his Ascension story intersects with your own Based on my actual college class
and doctoral dissertation I'm going to help you understand everything about this game including why I love it and more importantly why playing it may be the key to
unlocking your own Ascension story and with that let's begin Welcome to our Final Fantasy XV Lecture series. Let's Walk Tall, my friends.

Prof this is so awesome! I got chills watching it. Looking forward to it.
So excited for this lecture series. Got turned on to u when u were on the resonant arc podcast and I started watching the FF16 lectures series and thought it was amazing I can’t wait to play thru FF15 again with this lecture
I LOVE stuff like this! So glad there's still people that like this game instead of ripping on it.
Can't wait!!
I've been waiting for this! My comments will probably end up delayed given that I've cut way back on media for Lent, but I'll watch and comment on all of it eventually.
I haven’t played this game. Huge FF fan! but this game, I could not get into! I love your series and I am excited to see you break this game down like this and maybe pull my FF heart in the 15 direction!
Beautiful teaser… I can’t wait to see your take on this. I liked FFxv a lot, but I feel that the story was not explored on the depth I was expecting and it was not everything easy to understand immediately and It ended giving me an empty and incomplete feeling at the end. I sure hope you can make me like even more this game, maybe even love it’s story. The relationship between the major characters us for me the most beautiful part and what really hooked me from the beginning and it’s what I love about this game. Enough of me talking, can’t wait to hear you 👊🏻
