I'm D.T. Sloffman, Redeeming Babel's, Director of Content, and the producer of the Good Faith

podcast. Curtis Chain is currently out of the country. Before we begin today's episode, I want to

pause and acknowledge the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. Violence is never the way of Jesus, the one whom

Scripture names the Prince of Peace. As he taught in Matthew 5.9, Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called children of God. We at good faith grieve this loss of life, and we must say

clearly, violence, whether political, ideological, or even done in the name of faith, is never an

acceptable way to resolve our differences. I invite all of our good faith audience members to join in prayer for the Kirk family

and their time of sorrow.

I talk in the book in depth about screens because it's obviously a huge problem in our culture

today that wasn't as much of a problem when C.S. Lewis wrote the screw tape letters.

There was not a screen at every turn. There was not a screen in people's hands.

There was not these limitless abysses to take people away and distract people from prayer

and from the heart of the Father.

Our involuntary use of them can ruin our lives if we so choose.

Welcome to the Good Faith podcast.

I'm Good Faith's director of content, D.T. Sloughman.

Curtis Chang will be along with the conversation in just a moment.

But first, by way of setup.

In seasons of cultural upheaval, like the one we're in right now,

I find myself returning often to the writings of C.S. Lewis. Many know Lewis for the

chronicles of Narnia, but some of his most penetrating insights come from a smaller work of fiction

called The Screw Tape Letters.
