In this episode of Weatherford Daze, Jason and Rachel dive deep into the myth and meaning of dragons — from the fiery beasts of the Bible and Revelation to Tolkien’s Smaug and the redeemed dragons of Narnia. What do these legends reveal about faith, fear, and redemption?

From the fiery beasts of Revelation to the noble protectors of Narnia, the Weatherfords trace how dragons have evolved from terrifying symbols of chaos to beloved icons of fantasy. They explore the ancient roots of dragon myths in the Bible, Mesopotamian legend, and Chinese folklore, and how authors like Tolkien, Lewis, and modern fantasy writers transformed dragons from monsters to mentors.

Along the way, they discuss theology, symbolism, the connection between seraphim and dragons, and why humanity loves to redeem even its most fearsome creatures. Whether you’re a fantasy reader, a theology nerd, or just someone who loves a good mythical beast, this episode is full of fire, fun, and faith.

Topics include:

• Biblical and mythological origins of dragons
• Serpents, seraphim, and the Leviathan connection
• Tolkien’s Smaug vs. Lewis’s Eustace in Voyage of the Dawn Treader
• Why we made dragons “good” in modern fiction
• The human need to find redemption — even for monsters

Biblical References:

• Revelation 12
• Revelation 13
