Season two of the Screwtape Letters Podcast: Confronting Evil in Our Time opens 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 of Martyr’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.

Our conversation on this episode of the Screwtape Letters Podcast is a powerful interview with David Smallbone, music executive, father of Rebecca St. James and for King + Country, and the subject of the film Unsung Hero. Smallbone recounts the devastating collapse of a major tour in Australia that cost him everything and forced his family to relocate to the U.S. with little more than faith. In Nashville, they endured poverty, depending on prayer and the kindness of the local church to survive. This season of hardship, while painful, transformed him from being lukewarm in faith to passionately devoted to Christ. Smallbone highlights the role of his wife Helen’s steadfast support, his children’s resilience, and the church’s tangible love as the pillars that carried them through those dark years.

The interview explores how the Smallbone family rebuilt their lives through music, faith, and perseverance. Rebecca St. James’ early career paved the way for the family’s involvement in the industry, with each sibling contributing skills that later fueled the success of For King & Country. Smallbone reflects on how hardship deepened his marriage, reshaped his character, and gave him a lifelong mission to share the gospel boldly. He challenges listeners to embrace their testimonies, live loudly for Christ, and see adversity not as defeat but as a refining process that draws believers closer to God’s purpose.

The Screwtape Letters Podcast reflects on the mission behind season two and the soon-to-be-released book Confronting Evil in Our Time. Ian and Galen explain that the series examines the reality of demonic influence and spiritual warfare, and helps believers grow stronger in their faith, live with Christ at the center, and confront modern cultural and spiritual challenges with wisdom. They emphasize that the podcast is not just about discussion, but about “moving the needle” toward transformation in people’s lives.

The hosts return to the Screwtape Letters Podcast to continue season two, reflecting on both personal trials and the weight of faith. Galen shares about his mother-in-law’s passing after a season of hospice care, tying this life event to the theme of “finishing the race” in faith. This naturally leads into the letter under discussion, where Screwtape warns Wormwood not to celebrate wartime death too quickly, since a faithful believer who dies in Christ is lost to the enemy forever. The focus instead is on the long game—using adversity or prosperity to pull a soul slowly away from God over the course of life.

The discussion identifies a clear Easter egg in this letter: Jesus’ parable of the sower found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Just as seeds fall on different soils, some people fall away from faith due to trials or worldly distractions, while others persevere and bear fruit. Lewis’s writing mirrors this dynamic, showing that Satan’s strategies are not only immediate temptations but also subtle, lifelong distractions meant to untether believers from Christ. The hosts stress how perseverance in faith—whether through trials or abundance—marks the difference between seeds that wither and those that endure to harvest.

Finally, the episode explores the sobering reality of salvation and perseverance. While doctrines like “once saved, always saved” are debated, the hosts emphasize that the true test of faith is finishing strong and remaining steadfast in Christ until the end. A transformed heart, daily surrender, and ongoing perseverance mark genuine faith. Life is long, the enemy plays the long game, but God’s mercy is new each day for those who continue to pick up their cross.

The episode closes by inviting listeners to lean into God’s sustaining grace and announcing the upcoming pre-order release of Confronting Evil in Our Time.
