In this episode of the Screwtape Letters Podcast, the hosts revisit C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters with a focus on uncovering biblical “Easter eggs” and practical theology relevant to confronting evil in modern times. They emphasize that understanding scripture and discussing its meaning is not just for scholars or pastors, but for everyone. The hosts encourage listeners to read the Bible, engage in open conversations, and not be intimidated by differing interpretations, highlighting the idea of the “priesthood of all believers”—that everyone can have a direct relationship with God.

A major theme of the discussion centers on how the good things God created—such as pleasure, relationships, and success—can be twisted into vices when misused or taken to excess. Drawing from Psalm 16:11 (“at your right hand are pleasures forevermore”), they stress that true joy and fulfillment are found in God’s presence. The hosts also reflect on the dangers of comfort and wealth leading people away from God, the importance of stewardship and charity, and the need to seek biblical guidance in all areas of life.

The conversation also touches on the challenges of modern distractions and “noise,” referencing C.S. Lewis’s insight that the devil tries to drown out God’s voice. The hosts share personal experiences with distraction and advocate for intentional silence and time in scripture. They discuss using technology and AI as helpful tools for Bible study, while reminding listeners that nothing replaces direct engagement with God’s word. The episode closes with an encouragement to pursue a deeper relationship with Christ, find joy in God’s design, and resist the distractions that can pull us away from spiritual fulfillment.

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