Summary

Join us for Shakespeare Summer!

If you’ve been around the Read-Aloud Revival for a minute, you might know that C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters is one of my all-time favorite books.

It’s the book I have read and re-read the most, and it’s also the source of some of my favorite read-aloud memories with my young adult son.

Today’s guest has written a book in a similar style with the modern woman in mind, and in this episode we talk about how the enemy is working the hearts and minds of women today.

Emily Wilson Hussem is the author of Sincerely Stoneheart: Unmask the Enemy’s Lies, Find the Truth That Sets You Free, as well as a speaker and YouTuber who shares her faith around the world. It was a delight to have her on the show.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How Emily adapted C. S. Lewis’s format to get to the heart of the most common struggles in women’s lives
Why embracing friendship, connection, and community is key to thriving as women and mothers
The ways distraction, comparison, and dissatisfaction all pull us away from living in the truth of our identities as beloved daughters of God
