Author: Ian Faith, Galen Balinski, C.S. Lewis: Spiritual Warfare and Christianity Language: English Episodes: 116
Ian Faith and Galen Balinski host The Screwtape Letters: Confronting Evil in Our Time, a thoughtful exploration that draws inspiration from C.S. Lewis's classic work to examine the nature of spiritual conflict in the modern world. Rather than sensationalizing darkness, their conversations focus on practical wisdom and freedom, asking how ancient truths can illuminate our current cultural and personal struggles. You'll hear them dissect contemporary issues through a lens of faith, philosophy, and discernment, aiming to make complex ideas accessible and relevant. This podcast is for anyone wrestling with questions of morality, purpose, and how to live with integrity amidst societal pressures. The discussions are grounded in a Christian perspective but engage broadly with themes of culture, society, and spirituality. Tuning in offers a space for reflection that aims to strengthen conviction and deepen understanding, moving beyond theory to everyday application. Each episode invites a considered look at the forces shaping our lives and how to confront them with clarity and hope.
