We unpack some of the subtleties of what CS Lewis is trying to show us about the Spiritual Life of a Christian via delving into the mind of Screwtape shown by  the words that he writes to his nephew Wormwood, in order to tempt his "patient"  away from a deeper Spiritual Life. 

In this episode Terry gives a reflection on the Preface and Letter (Chapter) 1 of The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis in light of Unbound, our current temptations, and who we are as beloved children of God the Father.

This is a reading of Chapters (Letters) 5, 6, and 7 of The Screwtape Letters. There is a facebook page for discussion that goes along with the Screwtape series of this podcast, although not many have been commenting.

A fun and pleasant diversion with a work of "fiction" by a beloved Christian Author... However, there is some SERIOUS wisdom to be gained from the insights into spiritual warfare which can be easily applied to our lives. Navigating the diabolical pitfalls in life of 2021 has become extremely difficult, and whether you are a seasoned "warrior" or a newbie to all this, I offer you an entertaining method to sharpen your sword... Episode 1... Intro, Preface, and Chapter 1 of THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS by C. S. Lewis.

Father Boniface's second conference talk at the Pittsburgh/Greensburg Unbound Team Retreat Sept 2020. It is longer than most of our podcasts, but valuable nonetheless. The audio is also substandard due to not planning to record for publication.

Father Boniface Hicks speaking on how the Father's Love works through both the Unbound Model and the Unbound Ministers. This was talk number 1 given to the Unbound Team at St. Emma Retreat House in September 2020.

Father Boniface and Terry Cook Discuss the relationship between Staying Free and Christian Discipleship and Formation.

Father Boniface discusses the variety of spiritual influences on us, and how the Father's grace united with our faith and will to be set free can overcome all the influences that keep us from freely loving and serving God and others.

In this timely episode, Fr. Boniface discusses how we can maintain our calm and peace of heart during this trying time, and leads us through the Unbound prayer for our circumstances.

In this episode, Father Boniface discusses Unbound Prayer and its usefulness, even to those who have been diagnosed with a form of mental illness. We also discuss some of our experiences as prayer leaders with persons who were struggling in this area, and some of the outcomes. And of course, this is done in a way to preserve complete confidentiality. (FYI...One of the stories here was in light of a "mandated reporter" incident, otherwise we would have never known of the unusual outcome. Because of our promise to complete confidentiality, we never speak to others about these persons after praying for them.) PS. This may be the final episode to be uploaded through buzzsprout. We have decided to move to another podcast host, anchor.tv. The podcast will continue to be found on itunes (Apple Podcasts), Google Podcasts, and Spotify. Therefore, if you listen through the buzzsprout website page, http://ExploringUnbound.buzzsprout.com you can still listen by downloading from one of those or on https://anchor.fm/exploring-unbound-going-deeper-podcast
