Screwtape's 3rd Letter: What is love? Baby don't hurt me.
from Magic Like This – A C.S. Lewis Book Club Podcast · host Christina Lynn Wallace
Trigger warning: If you do not wish to hear Screwtape's mention of domestic abuse, skip ahead about two minutes from the time stamp of 15:45. If you are suffering in an abusive situation, please reach out to local law enforcement, a licensed therapist, or a trusted friend/pastor because you are precious and valuable, and you deserve freedom, safety, and healing.What does love look like? Beyond the mushy rom com films, I mean. In Letter 3, Screwtape's goal is to make sure that the patient and his mother (who live together) are utterly hopeless to see each other for who they really are – or love each other well. By inflating their ego (and making them ignorant of the fact), these devils brew a troubling concoction of domestic chaos and tension. But the MOST troubling thing? I think most of us can see ourselves in these situations if we get real about what our home lives really look like...Listen as we unpack all the nitty gritty ways that domestic bliss might fail to be so... well, blissful, in Episode 4 of Magic Like This.Join the Magic Like This Book Club:https://magiclikethis.substack.com/subscribeRead my essays and join my Celtic Prayer Writing Workshops at The Battle Cry: https://christinalynnwallace.substack.comFind me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/magiclikethispodcastWanting to write a book about what God’s done in your life, but don’t know where to start?
