In this Lutheran Ladies' Book Club recap episode, Rachel leads Erin and Sarah through a discussion of Joel Biermann's Day 7: For Work, Rest, or Play.  What does it mean to "remember the Sabbath Day by keeping it holy"? Does how we think about "leisure" change how we "remember the Sabbath"? How does a biblical understanding of Sabbath help us recognize good and bad ways to use the days that God has given us?  At the end of the episode, Rachel reveals the Ladies' next book club pick — one of her all-time favorites, which Sarah has never yet read: C. S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters.   Connect with the Lutheran Ladies on social media in The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook discussion group (facebook.com/groups/LutheranLadiesLounge) and on Instagram @lutheranladieslounge.

In this episode, Tilly Dillehay joins the conversation to talk about something that touches every one of us—spiritual warfare—and how it plays out in the most ordinary parts of our lives. From our attention spans to our homes to the hidden battles of motherhood, Tilly helps pull back the curtain on how the enemy works to distract, divide, and destroy the good things God has given us. Tilly is the author of My Dear Hemlock, a reimagining of C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters written from a female perspective. Through that lens, she explores how temptation, distraction, and deception uniquely target women—especially in their marriages, motherhood, and daily habits. Together, we talk about the spiritual war being fought over our focus, our peace, and our homes, and how confession, presence, and awareness become our greatest weapons. This conversation reminds us that not every hard moment is random—there's a battle for your attention, your joy, and your family. But even more important, we have a Savior who's already won the war. This episode is brought to you by Angel Studios, creators of films and series that shine light in a dark world.

This week, we share a "Space for God" devotional offered by Drew Masterson (Center for Christian Study). Drew begins with a brief introduction to C.S. Lewis' famous little book, The Screwtape Letters, and shows how Lewis uses the unlikely character of the demon tempter Screwtape to teach his audience appropriate postures of prayer. He closes with a reflective practice based on the Lord's Prayer.

Listen as Renee and Karen discuss Anthony Esolen's book Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child, which aims to show how our culture constricts the imaginations of the young.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is LG Nixon, author of the book The Ghost of Darwin Stewart. LG Nixon fuses a page-turning fantasy with a haunting theme and turns it into a spirit filled adventure with quirky and likeable characters the whole family can enjoy. Her stories are lighthearted but carry an underlying message of the importance of a Biblical worldview. Her faith and her love of Biblical studies fuels her imagination and her desire to give teens who might not know about their Creator God, an engaging and entertaining way to learn what the Bible says about Him and to introduce basic spiritual concepts.   After a long career in office management, she left the workplace behind and turned to writing. Today, she enjoys writing Biblically based ghost stories filled with mystery, suspense, and other worldly wisdom. She researches and writes full-time from her home in Michigan where she prowls the night star gazing and watching for a supernatural event.   She is always in search of the perfect cup of coffee, the softest afghan, a good book and a quiet corner. LG loves to ski, ride motorcycles, travel, and fly small planes; but no bungy-jumping, thank you very much.   In my book review, I stated The Ghost of Darwin Stewart by L.G. Nixon is a fast-paced Christian YA Fantasy Thriller. Yes - all of that! Talk about a book that crosses genres! Immediately, I found similarities to The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis as well as a bit of Harry Potter by J.K Rowling.   Early on, we meet the Dark Prince who realizes that the best way to get what he wants - an artifact from a girl named Lucy and her friend Schuyler - is to make them doubt who they are. He uses human emotions like anger, fear, and despondency. On the other hand, we meet the High King who uses love, meekness, and kindness. But it is up to Lucy to determine which way she will go, and the choice is not easy - especially when those she loves end up on the wrong end of the Dark Prince's wrath.   If you love a good vs evil story with ghosts, demons, and battles, then you are sure to love this book.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author LG Nixon Website: https://lgnixon.com/ FB: @l.g.nixon.author IG: @lg_nixon X: @LG_Nixon   Purchase The Ghost of Darwin Stewart on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/3GEOEQA   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

They say the 'devil is in the details', and while famed author C.S. Lewis' book "Screwtape Letters" illustrates that proverbial phrase, today's version is all about the digital; that modern-day technology is seemingly paving the road towards the demonic. It's not that social media or the digital world is morally aberrant at their core, but it's the fast-paced entrance down a rabbit hole of TikTok videos, influencers, and political punditry, giving us quicker access to all that is wrong with us. Actor Max McLean is an expert on C.S. Lewis after studying and portraying him on stage and screen. McLean's newest venture is producing the film version of The Screwtape Letters. Even though the book was written in 1942, its premise still applies today and perhaps was meant for such a time as this. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this message, we dive into the increasing polarization of our world, the loss of our cultural “third places,” and the way outrage has become a business model. Drawing inspiration from C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters, we explore how the real battle is not right vs. left, but darkness vs. light — and how followers of Jesus are called to wage peace instead of war.

If we're not careful, we can teach others, by the way we live, that Christianity is a means to something else. C.S. Lewis writes about avoiding a "Christianity And..." way of living-- in other words Christianity plus something else for some kind of gain. Lewis was always arguing toward truth from "merely" Christianity. Christianity, alone, doesn't need any additions, no matter how noble they seem. And yet Paul writes to his young protégé Timothy about how godliness combined with contentment is great gain. Living out both of those things sound hard. So, what are some things we can do to experience that gain? Join us!

有些人，總是當那個說「我都可以」的人，他們善良、體貼，努力維持關係的和諧，但久而久之，真正的自己也在這些退讓裡被一點一點地壓抑了。 如果你也曾在關係中感到委屈，卻習慣說沒事，這集【How to人生術】，會陪你一起釐清： 那些你以為的體貼，真的能讓關係更好嗎？ 還是，其實正在悄悄傷害你們之間的連結？ 在這一集中，劉軒談到：「討好」不是性格的缺陷，而是從小為了生存而養成的一種保護策略。 當我們長期壓抑感受、不說清楚，反而更容易讓關係失衡。 節目也分享了幾個練習的方法，幫助你慢慢劃出清楚、溫和又有底氣的界限，不為了對抗誰，而是為了更真實地照顧自己。

In this episode, Jeremy W. Johnston introduces our audience to C.S. Lewis and discusses some of his most important writings. Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963), a British writer and scholar, is best known as C.S. Lewis, the author of the beloved children's series The Chronicles of Narnia, as well as influential works of Christian apologetics like Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters. Born in Belfast and holding academic positions at Oxford and Cambridge, Lewis was a prominent member of the "Inklings" literary group with J.R.R. Tolkien. His conversion from atheism to Christianity profoundly shaped his writing, imbuing his diverse works, ranging from literary criticism to science fiction, with theological and allegorical depth, ensuring his enduring popularity and impact on literature and Christian thought.

Jun 29, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchThe Balance of GodJonah 4:5-111. The direction of disobedience, v. 5 Here are some examples from Genesis of how eastward movement symbolizes departure from God's will… a) Adam & Eve are put out of the Garden on the east side b) Cain settles east of Eden c) The builders of Babel are headed east when they decide to build a tower so as to make a name for themselves d) Lot separated from Abram and traveled east near Sodom and GomorrahHere is how we drift away from God… 1) a fixation on the physical over the spiritual in your priorities 2) a loss of sensitivity“You will say that these are very small sins; and doubtless, like all young tempters, you are anxious to be able to report spectacular wickedness. But do remember, the only thing that matters is the extent to which you separate the man from the God. It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one — the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.”  - C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters 3) the glorification of feelings2. God acts sovereignly to reveal His nature and our need, v. 6-8Three ways God demonstrates His nature… a) His name- v. 6- “YHWH Elohim” ⁃ YHWH- speaking to Israelites (particular)  ⁃ Elohim- speaking to non-Israelites (universal)  b) His sovereignty- “appointed…” c) His patience- v. 9 Three ways God demonstrates our need… a) provision- v. 5 b) experience- v. 6 ⁃ Matthew 7:1-2 c) isolation- v. 8b3. God is not ashamed of you, v. 10-11 2 Peter 3:9-10Mental worship… 1. What does drifting away from God feel like in your life? 2. Are you biggest priorities physical or spiritual in nature? 3. What is the latest thing you could clearly identify as God's provision? 4. Is there anything you think or feel but you only say to yourself? 5. What are some of your takeaways from the book of Jonah?

Patrick encourages men and women grappling with lust to focus on modesty, purity, and self-control in today’s world. He fields a deeply personal call about grief, the ache of unanswered prayers, and the daily effort to pursue virtue, offering compassion, practical wisdom, and the rock-solid hope found in Scripture and community. Sudden moments of humor and heartfelt support blend with advice on modest dress, addiction battles, and the sacred duty to lift up one another—whether that means praying for strangers or connecting a hurting listener with the Knights of Columbus. Laurie - I just wanted to encourage men in custody of eyes. The world, flesh and devil are trying to get us to forget who we are. Men, you are made for this. (01:41) Lisa - The Bible says ask and you shall receive. Did you have any words of comfort for those who don’t get their prayers answered? (06:12) Paul - I agree with you about lust addiction. Praying a daily Rosary and having custody of the eyes helps. I rely on the strength of my guardian angel. (14:07) Katie (email) – Women, please dress modestly. We can help the fight. (20:29) Robert - Custody of the eyes: I turn away and thank God for their beauty instead of ruminating on it. (21:20) Janet – It used to bother me a great deal when I saw women scantily clad. I confessed my anger. I am always praying for them when I see them, it really relieves me of anxiety and angst. (22:08) Ben - CS Lewis’ Screwtape Letters helped me mentally with lust. (24:47) Tom – I have Cerebral Palsy and am being mistreated where I live. How can I deal with this without falling into sin? (28:05) Maria – The friend of my grandson dresses very skimpy. I told him I didn’t like how she was dressed. My family was upset with me for saying this. (39:52) Lisette - My daughter received Voodoo dolls as gift (43:53)

In today's episode, I'm sharing a powerful and uncomfortable truth: you can be incredibly productive and still be wildly ineffective. If you've ever felt like your days are full but your life feels stuck — this is for you. I'm drawing inspiration from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis — a book where the devil teaches his apprentice how to keep someone distracted from living a meaningful, intentional life. One of the strategies? Keep them trapped in their to-do list. Make them believe that daily logistics are real life — and never let them question it. We're talking about: The danger of mistaking motion for progress How the “secondary” quietly replaces the “primary” Why the tasks that feel urgent often aren't important How to reframe your days around what truly matters This isn't about doing less — it's about making room for what's real.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Cameron and Nathan wade into the chaos of current global events—from missile strikes in Iran to plane crashes in India—and ask a critical theological question: how should Christians respond to a world that feels like it's unraveling? Rather than offering false certainty or prophetic guesswork, they reflect on the emotional and spiritual toll of nonstop news and the dangers of distraction, drawing from Scripture, C.S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters, and their own lived experiences. This episode challenges believers to reclaim attention, prioritize the local over the global, and discern the difference between what's simply a problem and what is your problem.

When a skeptical professor steps into the mind of a former student's fiancée, he discovers a surreal landscape shaped by vanity, obsession, and alarming emptiness. A sharp and unsettling exploration of how our inner worlds reveal far more than we intend. The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Clive Staples Lewis, one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1898. In 1917, during the height of World War I, he enlisted in the British Army and was wounded in combat less than a year later.Though best known for his beloved children's series, The Chronicles of Narnia—seven books published throughout the 1950s—Lewis also made a lasting mark with The Screwtape Letters in the 1940s, and his philosophical sci-fi epic, The Space Trilogy, written in the 1930s and '40s.While he authored more than 30 books in his lifetime, Lewis rarely ventured into short fiction. Today's featured tale marks a special occasion: his first story published in an American fantasy and science fiction magazine. From the February 1956 issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction, beginning on page 68, The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis.…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A brief tale of the dismal success of a scientist's experiment.

Emily Wilson isn't afraid to call out the real enemy. After years in women's ministry and her own battles with shame, insecurity, and toxic relationship patterns, she's seen the devil's playbook up close. Inspired by C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters, Emily flips the script with a bold new book written from the perspective of a senior demon training a junior one—exposing how the enemy targets women with lies about their worth, their bodies, their relationships, and their calling. In this interview, Emily shares how to stop playing defense and start fighting back—offering powerful, practical ways to trade stress for surrender and silence the voice that says, you're not enough.Emily's book: https://www.amazon.com/Sincerely-Stoneheart-Unmask-Enemys-Truth/dp/1400249724Emily's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@emwilss/featuredNEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

Why is propaganda and empty rhetoric so appealing to some people? In this midweek episode, Frank explains how the first of 'The Screwtape Letters' by C.S. Lewis perfectly illustrates the way demons manipulate human beings, now and throughout history. He'll also explore the recent power struggles between the Trump Administration and the lower district court judge who blocked Trump's transgender military ban. Frank will answer questions like:Why is using "jargon" instead of evidence-based arguments not good thinking?What specific tactics does C.S. Lewis say demons use to tempt humans and where do we see evidence of this happening in our culture today?Do all people have the right or privilege to serve in the military?Was Trump's decision to say transgender people are not qualified to serve in the military unconstitutional?Why is it so difficult to impeach judges, and do we really have only three branches of government?What do a lot of people get wrong about Islam?Frank also tackles some listener questions about who will be resurrected (is it only Christians?) and whether an old-earth contradicts biblical genealogies. Plus, he'll reveal details about his numerous speaking events coming up this spring—so listen closely to see if he's coming to a city near you!Resources mentioned during the episode:The ScrewTape Letters by C.S.
