If Screwtape could vote in the U.S. Election

Back in November, I stumbled upon a bit of Screwtape Fan-Fiction that was honestly some of the most compelling takes on Lewis' writing that I've ever read. Dominick Baruffi, in his Substack essay Screwtape Endorses a Candidate, plumbs the depths of spiritual war tactics that creep every 4 years during the U.S. election cycle (and honestly, let's be real: these issues don't go away once a candidate is chosen). After reading this, I just knew that I had to get Dominick on the podcast, and we ended up chatting for THREE HOURS about the various nuances, pains, and points of discernment that Christians ought to be aware of, not just during election season but in any conversation regarding politics.Read Dominick’s essay, Screwtape Endorses a Candidate, here:How to join the exclusive Book Club meetings:Join the Magic Like This Book Club by becoming a paid subscriber and get access to our exclusive monthly meetings (and the meeting recordings if you ever miss one!):https://magiclikethis.substack.com/subscribeOR get a free year’s subscription to the Magic Like This Book Club when you become a paid subscriber of my main Substack, The Battle Cry.
