Sunday Update: Balancing Prayer and Action: Faith, Work, and the Legacy of C. S. Lewis

Author: Ian Faith, Galen Balinski, C.S. Lewis: Spiritual Warfare and Christianity January 12, 2026 Duration: 8:57

In this episode of The Screwtape Letters: Confronting Evil in Our Time, Ian opens with prayer and a teaching on the biblical relationship between faith and work, stressing that God calls believers to active obedience, not passive spirituality. Drawing from Scripture, he emphasizes integrity, diligence, and purposeful action, encouraging listeners to “sow seeds” through faithful effort rather than relying on prayer alone. Ian connects this message to everyday life, work, job searching, and spiritual growth, urging listeners to live out their faith through meaningful action aligned with God’s values.

The episode also highlights C. S. Lewis’s faith journey through The Most Reluctant Convert, the film starring and produced by Max McLean, which Ian strongly recommends for its thoughtful portrayal of Lewis’s conversion and the role of reason and faith. Ian ties the film to the current stage adaptation of The Screwtape Letters, noting its successful run in Phoenix and Tucson, and encourages listeners to attend. He closes with updates on the growing impact of his book Confronting Evil in Our Time, inviting the audience to share photos with the book, leave Amazon reviews, purchase the companion study guide, and look forward to an upcoming in-depth interview with Max McLean across the podcast’s platforms.
