In this episode of Wolves and Dragons, Fenrir dives into one of the wildest spiritual parallels he’s ever seen: Armin’s faith in Eren during Attack on Titan’s “Sneak Attack” episode, and our faith in a God who often looks like a monster.

When Armin says, “There must be a reason Eren is doing this,” he’s not innocent. He’s already become the Colossal Titan – a walking atomic bomb – looking at an even bigger monster and still choosing to believe there’s intention behind the horror. Fenrir uses that moment as a mirror for how we wrestle with a God who floods the world, allows suffering, and yet is called “good.”

Is it delusion to keep saying “there must be a reason”? Or is it a fragile form of hope that refuses to believe reality is pure chaos?

We explore the flood and the Rumbling, believers and atheists, the idea of God as dragon and father, and what it means to live in the “explain yourself” phase of the story while whispering, like Brooke Fraser’s lyric, “Hope is coming for me.”

If you’ve ever thought, “I think You’re on my side, but You terrify me,” this episode is for you.
