CS Lewis wrote an essay entitled, “Inner Ring.” He suggested that the desire humans have to be a part of a secret group or with select individuals effects everything about us, sometimes for good other times for bad. We all want access. With this essay as a backdrop we look at Ephesians 2.11-22 and discuss access to the Father. Join us as we continue our sermon series through Ephesians.

In this final episode on C. S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters, we tackle the pervasiveness, problem, and cure, of Inner Ring idolatry. Tune in to hear how the pull of the Inner Ring is illustrated in the second Inside Out movie, and to learn how to turn cliques in the church inside out.

Pastor Ian Graham continues our series in Romans looking at our insatiable desire to be at the center of the action and how that desire itself is God-given, designed to draw us to himself and receive the good news that we have been welcomed into the inner ring of love through Christ. Support the Show.

Luke 9:37-50 // It is an incredible thing to be called to follow Jesus. But we must be careful not to equate the kingdom of God with an earthly "Inner Ring" by desiring power, position, or acceptance in the wrong way. In the gospel, we are invited to belong through simple faith like a child.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Inner Ring by C. S. Lewis, published by Saul Munn on April 25, 2024 on LessWrong. Note: In @Nathan Young's words "It seems like great essays should go here and be fed through the standard LessWrong algorithm. There is possibly a copyright issue here, but we aren't making any money off it either." What follows is a full copy of the C. S. Lewis essay "The Inner Ring" the 1944 Memorial Lecture at King's College, University of London. May I read you a few lines from Tolstoy's War and Peace? When Boris entered the room, Prince Andrey was listening to an old general, wearing his decorations, who was reporting something to Prince Andrey, with an expression of soldierly servility on his purple face. "Alright. Please wait!" he said to the general, speaking in Russian with the French accent which he used when he spoke with contempt. The moment he noticed Boris he stopped listening to the general who trotted imploringly after him and begged to be heard, while Prince Andrey turned to Boris with a cheerful smile and a nod of the head. Boris now clearly understood - what he had already guessed - that side by side with the system of discipline and subordination which were laid down in the Army Regulations, there existed a different and more real system - the system which compelled a tightly laced general with a purple face to wait respectfully for his turn while a mere captain like Prince Andrey chatted with a mere second lieutenant like Boris. Boris decided at once that he would be guided not by the official system but by this other unwritten system. When you invite a middle-aged moralist to address you, I suppose I must conclude, however unlikely the conclusion seems, that you have a taste for middle-aged moralising. I shall do my best to gratify it. I shall in fact, give you advice about the world in which you are going to live. I do not mean by this that I am going to talk on what are called current affairs. You probably know quite as much about them as I do. I am not going to tell you - except in a form so general that you will hardly recognise it - what part you ought to play in post-war reconstruction. It is not, in fact, very likely that any of you will be able, in the next ten years, to make any direct contribution to the peace or prosperity of Europe. You will be busy finding jobs, getting married, acquiring facts. I am going to do something more old-fashioned than you perhaps expected. I am going to give advice. I am going to issue warnings. Advice and warnings about things which are so perennial that no one calls them "current affairs." And of course everyone knows what a middle-aged moralist of my type warns his juniors against. He warns them against the World, the Flesh, and the Devil. But one of this trio will be enough to deal with today. The Devil, I shall leave strictly alone. The association between him and me in the public mind has already gone quite as deep as I wish: in some quarters it has already reached the level of confusion, if not of identification. I begin to realise the truth of the old proverb that he who sups with that formidable host needs a long spoon. As for the Flesh, you must be very abnormal young people if you do not know quite as much about it as I do. But on the World I think I have something to say. In the passage I have just read from Tolstoy, the young second lieutenant Boris Dubretskoi discovers that there exist in the army two different systems or hierarchies. The one is printed in some little red book and anyone can easily read it up. It also remains constant. A general is always superior to a colonel, and a colonel to a captain. The other is not printed anywhere. Nor is it even a formally organised secret society with officers and rules which you would be told after you had been admitted. You are never formally and explicitly admi...

They explore the contrasting attitudes towards different opponents and the use of mockery and caricature. They also delve into the inner circle dynamics and the exclusionary nature of Big Eva. The conversation highlights the attraction to inner rings and the prevention of face-to-face interaction. They conclude by examining the motive behind the slapdown and the refusal to engage in meaningful conversation. The conversation explores the importance of inviting different voices and engaging with different perspectives, even if there is a lack of reciprocity. It highlights the dangers of dignifying every error and the need for clarity over nuance. The conversation also discusses the currency of credibility and the transition from a neutral to a negative world. It emphasizes the importance of courage and the recognition that leaders will make mistakes. Ultimately, the conversation encourages trust in the Lord and Jesus as the ultimate source of guidance.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background01:00 Discussing Ligon Duncan and the Moscow Mood03:47 The Use of Mockery and Caricature06:09 The Irony of Criticizing Moscow Mood07:11 The Inner Circle and Exclusion09:21 The Duplicity of Big Eva11:28 The Attraction to Inner Rings21:12 The Evangelical Industrial Complex25:17 The Inner Ring and Human Nature28:24 The Motive Behind the Slapdown34:35 Refusing Face-to-Face Conversation35:18 Inviting Different Voices36:08 The Lack of Reciprocity36:59 Engaging with Different Perspectives37:26 The Importance of Engagement38:21 The Dangers of Dignifying Every Error39:20 Paul's Response to Mistaken Identity40:19 The Number of Times in Acts41:16 The Mistaken Identity of Paul and the Apostles41:45 The Currency of Credibility45:08 The Inconsistency of Criticism46:23 The Ritual Denunciation Strategy48:23 Transitioning from Neutral to Negative World49:48 The Incentive Structure of Ritual Denunciation50:47 The Importance of Courage in Negative World52:36 The Importance of Clarity over Nuance54:31 The Apprehension of Trusting Leaders57:10 Different Approaches Based on Community Context59:05 Learning from Mistakes and Developing Faithfulness01:03:48 Trust in the Lord and JesusSupport the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

Join us as Pastor Kevin looks at one of the hardest of Jesus' teachings that touches on our desire to be part of the inner ring and what it costs us to be insiders. Today's passage - Luke 14:7-24

You live in The Objective Room. If you know what that means then you know we have to figure out how to live faithfully in there. If you don't? Hit Download, press Play, and we'll catch you up. --- C.S. Lewis' Essay "The Inner Ring"

This morning I'm going to focus on a currency that is quite costly and maybe even a bit intimidating for some of us, and that is the currency of hospitality. Many of us give of our time to serve and volunteer, and many of us give some money to charity or noble causes, but we would rather not get too involved with people! We like our privacy; we don't want to get tangled up in other people's problems; and we generally prioritize spending time and investing energy in people we like and have much in common with as opposed to getting entangled with “strange” people or poor people or people we don't think we can relate with. Be that as it may, Jesus calls His Church to be generous with our hospitality as a result of God's grace. I'm going to be working from a lengthy passage from Luke 14:7-24 that falls into three segments that I'll cover under three subheadings:1) Resisting the Inner Ring; 2) A Strange Invitation; and 3) The Poor in Spirit BanquetSupport the showThanks for listening!

Luke and Seth discuss CS Lewis' concept of the Inner Ring and how not to "love the glory. that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God." (John 12:43)

The issue is not the existence of so-called inner rings, but our desire and willingness to spend our lives in order to gain from an inner ring what is freely promised in Christ: hope, security, and identity.

My guest today is Josh Kushner, founder and managing partner of venture firm, Thrive Capital. Josh started Thrive in 2010 and launched its first institutional fund in 2011.

Thrive has gone from strength to strength since then and now manages $15 billion with a small team of 9 investors. Their portfolio is stage agnostic and their track record includes many of the best known businesses from the past decade, including Spotify, Unity, Stripe, and Twitch among many more. Josh rarely speaks in public about the firm and their philosophy so it was a blast to do this with him. Please enjoy my great conversation with Josh Kushner.

Not everyone is your friend, you may have heard this from your parents once or twice before. What they were teaching you is not everyone will treat the friendship with the same respect as you may. Morgon and Jody lay out what friendship means to them by identifying what it takes to be in their inner circle. They illustrate how rings on a dart board are like different levels of professional or personal relationships. By the end, you will be able to answer who's on your board or if they made it on the board at all. Jody and Morgon share a passion for leadership, love, and people. “That L Word” is their brainchild born over the best Mexican food downtown Jacksonville, NC has to offer and is meant to evoke the word, “Love” in the same conversation as, “Leadership.” We believe that leadership and love belong in the same sentence and aren't afraid to cut past the noise and talk about what really matters. On “That L Word” we talk about love, empathy, trust, loyalty, listening, life, and ALL of the other things that people are afraid to say out loud in the same sentence with leadership. Leadership is ALL about people and people have feelings, leaders included - so get in here!

In this episode, Dale and Joseph discuss C.S. Lewis' conception of "The Inner Ring."

"As long as you are governed by that desire you will never get what you want. ... Until you conquer the fear of being an outsider, an outsider you will remain." In C.S. Lewis's essays—"The Inner Ring" and "Membership"—he unpacks two dangerous social forces that threaten both the church and the morality of Christians: individualism and cliques. This week Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing continue their examination of Lewis's powerful essays and sermons published as The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses in 1948. How does our desire to belong, to be considered meaningful to others, warp and distort not only our heart but our actions. How do they so easily turn good people into "scoundrels?" And what can we do to overcome these temptations?

This week, we go on an unsuccessful quest with Jane, Dimble, and Denniston in search of Merlin, while the powers at the N.I.C.E. debate about whether torturing Mark would be fruitful or would disrupt Jane's visions. In his prison cell facing hanging, Mark gains clarity about the folly of his obsession with the Inner Ring and falls into despair.

Mark 9:38-41 - In this passage, the disciples bring up someone outside of their circle who is doing ministry in Jesus's name. In Jesus's dealing with their insecurity we find a powerful challenge to our own jockeying for position in an inner circle to the exclusion of others. The answer? Come receive all you need in Jesus once and for all. A sermon by Josh Wilder.

The lure of the Inner Ring, the danger of rejecting God's design for you, the perils of redefining language, the propensity of power to devolve into tyranny--all these themes appear in Chapter 3 of That Hideous Strength. In this episode, we unpack what Lewis is saying and how eerily prescient this work is.

The lure of the Inner Ring, the danger of rejecting God's design for you, the perils of redefining language, the propensity of power to devolve into tyranny--all these themes appear in Chapter 3 of That Hideous Strength. In this episode, we unpack what Lewis is saying and how eerily prescient this work is.

As we explore Chapter 2 of That Hideous Strength, the theme of the Inner Ring takes center stage as pride and gossip envelop Mark Studdock. Lewis makes strong points about using people and abusing power, corrupting language, envisioning a politico-technological utopia run by the government and science, holding to a dangerous view of Man as merely an animal or cog in a machine, and refusing to be vulnerable in human relationships. All the while, he is setting the stage for revealing what the N.I.C.E. is all about.

When it comes to social media's impact on American politics (and many other subjects), Chris Bail argues the two biggest effects of the social media prism feed into each other, making political extremists embolden and empowered to troll anyone they can and for moderates to give up hope that nuanced political dialogue and opinions are possible anymore. What drives Internet trolls to be trolls? What gives moderates the impression that discussing controversial topics online is so risky despite being the largest voting bloc in the country? What if both Internet trolls and the average American use social media in completely different ways because they're both looking for the same thing - and what if a Christian writer named C.S. Lewis had something to say about all this more than 80 years ago?——Buy Me a Coffee and keep Breaking the Digital Spell a high quality ad-free experience!

How do you use the term ‘elite?' Is it positive or is it a term of derision? Elites, and especially Evangelical elites, have been criticized a lot lately. Collin, Kevin, and Justin have given this matter some consideration, and on this episode they offer their thoughts, turning the focus both internally and externally, with both positive and negative critiques. But first… books! They've been reading a lot. You'll hear about productivity, theology, classic fiction, and of course a lot of history.

Find out why FOMO—especially fear of being on the “outside”—can have a devastating impact on our hearts and lives. There is no such thing as being “on the inside”. Only being a friend. In this series, Passage to Wisdom, John reflects on passages from books that have found particular influence in his life. Today we look at 'The Screwtape Letters' by C.S. Lewis. This is a classic masterpiece of religious satire that entertains readers with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation—and triumph over it—ever written.

With guest Professor Jonathan Anomaly (University of Pennsylvania)

In this episode, Justin shares C.S. Lewis' Inner Ring essay. https://www.lewissociety.org/innerring/

In Season 2, Episode 1 of How to Be 40, Noah discusses the inconsistency of mixing noble symbols with dishonorable behavior; then links such with our consistent and fruitless quest for the "Inner Ring", as defined by author C. S. Lewis. 

We examine C.S. Lewis’ essay, “The Inner Ring.” We then develop some of the themes of wanting to fit in. We see how some groups are worth belonging to, and some are not. We see how those Inner Rings are unavoidable, and can even be good. Other times, whether in families, friends, education or employment, being ‘in the know’ is a dangerous thing, and doesn’t help us, or others. It can be about excluding others, and then we can never be happy, since there is always another level. It can also tempt us, because of Pride, to lose our souls. When we join an Inner Ring out of genuine love of the people, or because we like the task at hand, we find peace, and it helps us grow in God’s grace.

Originally released on July 1st, 2020, Kevin DeYoung, Collin Hansen, and Justin Taylor discuss cancel culture, the inner-ring, new statues that they think should be built, and their summer reading lists.

In today's episode, Rusty and Nick discuss the characteristics of great friendships, challenges to friendship, and what we mean by flourishing with friends. In today's episode, we read a quote from C.S. Lewis' The Four Loves from the chapter "Friendship." We also mentioned his work "The Inner Ring" from his book The Weight of Glory. Also, if you want to grow as a friend, we'd highly encourage you to pick up the short book True Friendship by Vaughan Roberts. A special thanks to Cole Calbaugh for the original music and Lindsay Ford for the introduction.

Dave and Joel discuss C.S. Lewis' famous paper, ‘The Inner Ring'. Lewis warns against the desire to be part of the invisible clique. In itself, this ‘inner ring' may not be evil, but Lewis argues that its allure can easily lead to a sense of purposelessness. All relationships and work become merely instrumental to climbing the social hierarchy; hypocrisy and the absence of conviction become the norm. How can Lewis' insights shed light on our current workplace cultures, economic structures, and church life? Is meaningful work possible in a society that has no sense of teleology? Is Dave trying to tell Joel something with his choice of topic this week?

A short reflection on our need to belong. Meditations on The Jungle Book and C.S. Lewis.

We all desire to be in the inner ring, whether it is the cool table in grade school or the closed-door meeting at work. But what if the special communion that we share in these inner circles is just a shadow of a more profound desire for the ultimate inner ring.One problem, humanity has no way into this inner ring because we treacherously rebelled against God. Only God himself can do it, and it is only by our union with Christ that we are welcomed back into the ultimate inner ring: God's very own family!In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul shows us how this gracious feat was accomplished and how its application changes everything.

Show Notes: In this episode, Will and John discuss why God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, the Inner Ring by C.S. Lewis, and more. The Inner Ring by C.S. Lewis

In this episode, we discuss our desire to fit in, to be part of the 'cool kids' group, to be part of what CS Lewis calls "The Inner Ring". We share some instances in our own life when we've succumbed to this desire, and discuss whether it's ever acceptable to be exclusivist in our circles.

"In every single human interaction, you have a choice.  Which way will you go?   C.S. Lewis incisively saw that most of us, most of the time, make the choices we do so we can be approved of by the right people while distancing ourselves from the wrong people.  He spoke of our desire to be part of “the inner ring,” a desire that dominates our lives.   Jesus was not interested in getting into an exclusive circle of the right people.  Instead, he deliberately reached out to the wrong people.   To cite one example, consider Jesus's interaction with the Samaritan woman at the well.   Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: John 4:1-42   Quotation:  “My main purpose in this address is simply to convince you that this desire is one of the great permanent mainsprings of human action. It is one of the factors which go to make up the world as we know it—this whole pell-mell of struggle, competition, confusion, graft, disappointment and advertisement, and if it is one of the permanent mainsprings then you may be quite sure of this. Unless you take measures to prevent it, this desire is going to be one of the chief motives of your life, from the first day on which you enter your profession until the day when you are too old to care. That will be the natural thing—the life that will come to you of its own accord. Any other kind of life, if you lead it, will be the result of conscious and continuous effort.”     from “The Inner Ring,” by C.S. Lewis [1944]]   entire essay here: https://www.lewissociety.org/innerring/

"The Inner Ring" - 6.16.19

C.S. Lewis, in one his most memorable essays “The Inner Ring,” describes a place where almost all of us long to be. We want to be in the know—one of the essential people – in the Inner Ring. We want to be part of that tight circle that’s most important, wherever it may be: in a family, a circle of friends, at work, or at church. Lewis writes: “I believe that in all men’s lives at certain periods, and in many men’s lives at all periods between infancy and extreme old age, one of the most dominant elements is the desire to be inside the local Ring and the terror of being left outside.” To feel excluded or out of it or non-essential is miserable. Yet the desire to be “in” can make you say things you would not otherwise say or not say things you should say. This desire to be on the inside of whatever group you want to join can and will affect your relationships at work at home, in the community, and in the church. In Corinth, the freshness of a relationship with Jesus had worn off among the Christians and had given way to the wisdom of the cool and sophisticated “in crowd.” By the time Paul writes 1 Corinthians, this pursuit for the inner ring had only brought them quarreling, factions, competition, confusion, selfishness, and immorality.In our text this Sunday, Paul encourages you to rediscover God’s inner ring and the gifts that await you. Inside, you can’t help but be transformed!

This time round, we explore a sticky topic that is bound to set our inboxes on fire. It is a concept we often throw out into the world but find a had time interrogating about ourselves. We decided to rip the bandaid and come right out, we are airing out our privilege! And just for measure, we are talking about the responsibilities of the privileged. Attached below are links to a speech and a book, both apt in beginning to think about contemporary ways in which privilege shows itself and perhaps how it can be confronted.

The audio is not that great on this podcast. Sorry about that.  C.S. Lewis’ address titled The Inner Ring, which he gave at King’s College in 1944, is one of the more important essays for our day.

This week, Dan Allender continues a series about the nature of wisdom by looking at the binds we will inevitably encounter throughout our lives. Dan reads excerpts from The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis, inviting us to consider the idea of an inner ring and wonder how we might engage harmful separations between the in crowd and the out crowd.

Insider knowledge creates and sustains an Inner Ring, with insiders and outsiders. Godly knowledge creates and sustains the body of Christ. In this message, Fr. Aaron explores the way Paul taught a new church plant in Corinth to stay unified despite the cultural differences that threatened to divide them.
