If you’re tired of pretending everything is fine, this is the book you need. Confronting Evil in Our Time - Now on Amazon https://amzn.to/3XgCodL

In this conversation, the hosts discuss Letter 14 of "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis, focusing on the theme of humility. They emphasize its relevance to their current life situations and explore how the concept of humility is portrayed in the book.

Screwtape, a senior demon, is concerned because the "patient" (a human) is becoming humble. The hosts describe how Screwtape wants to corrupt this humility by making the patient proud of being humble, which would turn the virtue into a vice. They discuss the analogy of life’s ups and downs becoming less extreme as one grows in faith, leading to more stability and consistent humility.

The conversation also delves into the balance between humility and pride, noting that true humility is not about belittling oneself but recognizing and using God-given talents appropriately. They highlight the parable of the talents, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and utilizing one's gifts for God’s glory.

The hosts reflect on personal experiences with humility and pride, discussing how false humility can be a form of pride. They encourage listeners to self-reflect on their tendencies towards pride or false humility and to seek a balanced, authentic humility.

Overall, the episode offers practical insights, urging listeners to appreciate their own and others' talents as God-given, and to walk in their authority with a genuine sense of humility.
