198 Killing the Red Lizard: Surrendering to Transformation

from The Daily Grind · host John Spencer

Wednesday, March 6: In this profound episode, we explore C.S. Lewis' allegorical tale from "The Great Divorce," where a ghost grapples with the burden of a talkative red lizard, symbolizing sin and lust. Through the encounter between the ghost and the angel, Lewis paints a vivid picture of God's invitation to break free from the bondage of sin and embrace transformation. As the ghost hesitates, afraid of surrendering the only pleasure he knows, the angel patiently waits, offering liberation from the lizard's grip. Ultimately, the ghost surrenders, leading to a remarkable transformation and a journey towards the mountains of heaven. Join us as we delve into the profound message of surrender, transformation, and the power of God's grace. ⁠⁠Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
