  • Spiritual Pride - Letter #24: Biblical Easter Eggs in the Screwtape Letters: A Theological Journey
    Jul 21 2025

    Limited copies available. Release date: September 2025. Bless a friend with a copy.

    The episode opens with the hosts highlighting the importance of prayer and faith within the Christian community, sharing a personal request for prayers for a sick child and recognizing how acts of faith and gratitude can inspire others. The hosts emphasize humility, noting that no one is more special than another in God’s eyes, and offer encouragement for collective support and outreach among listeners.

    Diving into “The Screwtape Letters,” the discussion centers on the subtle tactic of spiritual pride, as depicted in Lewis’s narrative. They unpack the scenario where the demonic strategy shifts from typical temptations to leveraging the patient’s sense of belonging and superiority in a particularly pious Christian circle. Drawing from scriptural examples, such as Paul’s warning in Philippians and Jesus’s critique of the Pharisees, they explore how knowledge and zeal in faith—though positive in themselves—can easily be twisted into pride, exclusivity, and a sense of being ‘holier than thou.’ Both hosts reflect on personal experiences in ministry and church, warning of cliquishness, the dangers of prioritizing doctrinal correctness or spiritual status over genuine care, and how this can stifle authentic spiritual growth or community.

    The episode concludes by striking a balance between truth and grace, pointing out that while confronting false teachings and upholding sound doctrine is vital, it must be paired with compassion and humility. The hosts caution against forming exclusive cliques and urge listeners to remain open, welcoming, and grounded in both love and truth. They note how Lewis may have intentionally juxtaposed letters addressing discernment and pride to remind believers that a mature Christian walk requires both a commitment to truth and an attitude of grace, ensuring that neither becomes a source of self-righteousness or division.

  • Satan Himself Masquerades as an Angel of Light - Letter #23: Biblical Easter Eggs in the Screwtape Letters: A Theological Journey
    Jul 17 2025

    “Letter 23 is so powerful.” Ian and Galen, hosts of the Screwtape Letters Podcast: Confronting Evil in Our Time, explore the biblical "Easter eggs" implanted by C.S. Lewis in each letter of his classic work. Ian notes this particular letter was omitted from popular abridged audio versions. They discuss how this omission could be tied to its strong Christian messaging and the inherent power of its theological insights. The Easter Egg centers on Lewis's use of the phrase “Angel of Light,” drawn directly from 2 Corinthians 11:14, highlighting it as a core strategy in Satan’s playbook: to deceive believers not through obvious evil, but by masquerading as goodness and twisting spiritual truths.

    They delve into how Satan's method is not creative invention but clever distortion, using aspects of God's own playbook, repackaging virtue and truth to mislead. This includes tempting people to redefine Jesus as merely a historical figure, a social reformer, or even a "celestial butler," rather than recognizing His divine authority. The hosts reflect on how these deceptions can infiltrate personal faith, churches, and larger culture, urging listeners to discern carefully the difference between true spiritual light and counterfeit goodness. They tie in scriptural examples, such as the devil's temptation of Eve and Jesus in the wilderness, to illustrate the enduring nature of spiritual deception and the necessity for vigilance and discernment.

    Wrapping up, the hosts emphasize the critical role of grounding oneself in biblical truth and seeking God’s guidance through prayer to resist spiritual counterfeits. They note that the epistles and instructions within the New Testament are not just stories, but practical guides for Christian living. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on contemporary instances where evil is presented as good in their lives or culture and to consider how they can guard themselves against such deception. The episode closes with a call to examine personal beliefs, align them with scriptural truth, and remain alert to the ongoing spiritual battle described by both C.S. Lewis and the Apostle Paul.

    Look out for our upcoming book "Confronting Evil in Our Time,” which will be released this year.
