Exploring the second part of a 1956 sermon by C. S. Lewis, "A Slip of the Tongue," where Lewis realizes he accidentally prayed to hold onto temporal things. He reflects in the sermon that, even though it was a slip of the tongue, and meant to pray the opposite, the reality is he (and all of us with him) really do wish to hang onto the temporal things. He challenges us to consider - are there areas of our lives that we are keeping out of reach of God? Or are we truly giving God all of ourselves?

The music for this episode is "Collect for Lent," performed by David Stroeve, composed by Jordan Duncan and David Stroeve, from the Collect for the Second Sunday in Lent from the Episcopal Prayer Book. David Stroeve's album ⁠⁠⁠The Cathedral Project,⁠⁠⁠ is on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon, and Apple Music. See especially "The Jesus Prayer," and "God of Mercy" as excellent meditative worship songs for Lent.
