Description
LISTEN AT YOUR OWN RISK. Words are no mere breaths of air; they can be as brutal as any fist. In the latest episode/letter Screwtape peels back the curtain on the transformation of violence in the age of the internet, where the battlegrounds aren't just physical spaces but the vast, interconnected realms of social media. With the guidance of our insightful "guest" (Screwtape), we navigate the treacherous waters of Twitter, Facebook, and beyond, where character assassinations are executed in 280 characters or less. These platforms, while designed to bring us together, have also opened the floodgates to a new form of verbal onslaught that targets not just reputations but the very essence of our souls. We scrutinize the ripple effects of these digital assaults, particularly the discord sewn within the Christian Church, and ask ourselves: How far-reaching is the damage wrought by these invisible yet palpable weapons? A poignant tale unfolds as Screwtape recounts the earnest plea of a tutor to his "nephew" Wormwood, urging the preservation of diabolical "tradition" amid a changing world. This episode takes a hard look at the perils of blind imitation and the disruption of longstanding practices. As we dissect the implications of unthinking adherence, we're reminded of the stark choices before us: evolve or risk succumbing to the subtle yet powerful forces that seek to maintain control. We examine the speaker's urgent call to action, its undertones of personal judgment, and the veiled threats that accompany dissent. Join us as we unleash Screwtape's latest epistle for a compelling exploration of the fine line between upholding values and falling prey to rigidity in a world that demands both reverence for the past and the courage to question it. We don't know how these letters came to be in our possession, but we'll do our best to make sure they harm as few people as possible.   Thank you for journeying w/ the Saints with us!
