Season two of theScrewtape Letters Podcast: Confronting Evil in Our Timeopens with hosts Ian and Galen diving into the biblical “Easter eggs” found in C.S. Lewis’s letters. They reflect on their work developing a companion book and turn to discuss the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, describing their grief and the courage he embodied as a man of faith. In his honor, they share the creation ofMartyr’s Red, a commemorative wine from Homecoming Winery whose release symbolizes spiritual steadfastness and devotion to truth.

The conversation deepens into theological reflection on fear and courage, centering on Revelation 21:8, which lists cowardice first among condemned sins. They distinguish between feeling fear and acting from fear, asserting that fear itself is not sinful but becomes destructive when it dictates behavior. Drawing from Scripture, wartime imagery, and current events, they emphasize the Christian call to resolve fear through faith and obedience. The hosts link this lesson to broader moral issues, such as standing for Christian values without blending them with politics or succumbing to extremes like Christian nationalism.

To close, Ian and Galen turn to practical application for believers facing personal or societal fear. They encourage listeners to confront fear through action grounded in biblical conviction, arguing that courage grows when one chooses right conduct despite anxiety. They connect this spiritual discipline to everyday struggles, such as job insecurity or moral confrontation, and highlight how habitual fear can evolve into cowardice or hatred when left unchecked. The hosts end with a challenge to live by faith, not emotion, allowing obedience and courage to shape a life that resists evil while remaining rooted in compassion and truth.
