The Screwtape Letters is a book by C.S. Lewis that we are discussing here on the Bold, Brave, and Daring podcast. I was afraid of this book for many years because of what it's about, an older demon mentoring a younger demon. There is no reason to fear anything that we have authority over because of Jesus. We are made to fight! In this episode, I cover Letter 1 and the first scheme the devil tries to distract us with, the ordinary. The ordinary things in life that distract us from truly thinking for ourselves, dwelling on God, cultivating our relationship with God, and controlling our thoughts.
