DO NOT Take This LOVE Advice! | A Woman's Question, A Diabolical Answer | STR005 CWP050


Listen Later

A woman's question... a diabolical answer.  Listen at your own risk!

Could your most fervent desires be your undoing? Join us as we probe the telling verses of a poem first recited by our esteemed guest, Camille Theodora.   Followed by a diabolical response from Screwtape himself.  A tale that holds a mirror to our own struggles and the unforeseen consequences they may bring. As the lines unfold, a chilling narrative emerges about a girl who seeks the grandeur of life's treasures in God's blessing, without grasping, perhaps, their true cost. This Faustian dialogue peels back the layers of this evocative piece, drawing connections to timeless stories of ambition's dark side and the ruin it can lead to if you listen to the wrong voices.

The poem's protagonist treads wishfully, offering her whole self for true love, evoking reflections on the value of our aspirations versus the price of fulfilling them. "Happy Valentine's Day" concludes the reading, offering an eerie juxtaposition between the themes of love and the intricate webs woven by the unchristian passions. This episode is an invitation to ponder the worth of what we chase after and the shadows that trail our choices—a discussion that is certain to resonate with listeners and leave an indelible mark on their contemplations of want and will.

How these came into our possession - we are still uncertain.

Have you ever paused to measure the weight of a heart's desires against the scales of life's demands? Valentine's Day might conjure images of roses and chocolates, but our guest Theodora invites us into a deeper contemplation of romance through her stirring poetry. Her work lays bare the raw intersection of love's whimsy and the stark currencies of expectation. As Theodora articulates the yearnings for both a playful companion and a sovereign of one's inner kingdom, we're drawn into a thoughtful probing of what it means to truly give and receive in matters of the heart.

The dialogue we share is no ordinary exchange; it's a canvas painted with the hues of sacrifice, entitlement, and the elusive price tag of passion. Theodora's recitation is a dance between the idealized love of fairy tales and the unvarnished truth of human connection, challenging us to reflect on our own relationships. We explore the paradox of love's greatest gifts, questioning whether they can ever be simply won or must be earnestly earned. Join us as we unlock these profound insights, and perhaps in the process, we might even confront the demons of doubt Theodora hints are loath to have such conversations see the light of day.

Thank you for journeying w/ the Saints with us!
