S03 E03: Screwtape Letters Pt 2: Perverting Pleasure
Listen now
Description
Today in Part Two the Screwtape Letters we dive into Letters #9, 12, and 13. These letters all discuss pleasure and how all pleasure has been created by God and is good in and of itself. All the devil can do is take what is already good and pervert it and he does this with pleasure to separate us from ourselves and from God.   We end with some practical ways to watch out for the devil’s tricks and a challenge to do something you enjoy for the simple sake of that activity. The only caveat is no screens are allowed for this activity. Do something that uses your mind and body which you find genuine pleasure in: read a book, go on a walk, paint, write, play an instrument, etc.    Next week we will continue with Letter #15 in Part Three.   // Please leave us a rating and review on iTunes and be sure to share this with your friends and on social media! #arisebelovedpodcast
