Today, we’re diving into two of the most challenging and powerful chapters from The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis — Chapters 10 and 11. If you haven’t read them, don’t worry — we’ll walk through the stories together and explore the deep lessons Lewis offers us for Christian living.In these chapters, Lewis introduces us to two very different ghosts, each wrestling with love gone wrong. First, we’ll meet a woman who believes she “loved” her husband so deeply that she controlled every part of his life — convinced she knew what was best for him. But as we’ll see, her so-called love was really a form of selfish possession, a warning about how easily our good intentions can become idols when we forget to put God first.Then, we’ll meet Pam, a mother consumed by her grief for her son. Her natural love as a mother — something beautiful in its right place — has become all-consuming and even rivals her relationship with God. Lewis shows us that no earthly love, no matter how precious, can replace our ultimate love for Christ.Finally, we’ll witness an unforgettable scene with a ghost and a red lizard — a powerful picture of sin and the painful, but freeing, choice to surrender it fully to God. This story reminds us that half-measures won’t do. True transformation requires complete surrender.Throughout this episode, we’ll reflect on what these stories teach us about real love, surrender, and putting God above all else. We’ll ask tough questions about our own hearts and invite God to show us where we might need to let go or trust Him more deeply.So get comfortable, open your mind and heart, and let’s take this journey together.
