Screwtape's 17th Letter: The sin that nobody talks about. With Author, Jon Seidl.

from Magic Like This – A C.S. Lewis Book Club Podcast · host Christina Lynn Wallace and Jonathon M. Seidl

As we cover Screwtape Chapter 17, author and current seminary student, Jonathon M. Seidl joins me for a deep dive into disordered relationships with consumption, from food and drink to digital content to lust to work (and everything else in between). Jon beautifully distills the tactics of Screwtape into one simple statement: “Misordered is disordered.” Yeah yeah, we know that “misordered” is not an actual word. But once you listen, it will all make sense.Connect with Jon SeidlOn Substack: https://jonseidl.substack.com/Pre-order Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic: https://christianalcoholic.comConfessions of a Christian Alcoholic Podcast: https://www.jonseidl.com/confessions-of-christian-alcoholic-podcastMentioned in this episode:The Screwtape Letters by C.S.
