About this episode

The episode discusses how demons may undermine prayer through subtle distractions and false humility, based on C.S. Lewis's insights in The Screwtape Letters.

Send us Fan Mail What if every time you prayed, a demon was taking notes? In Letter 3 of The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis exposes hell’s playbook for sabotaging your prayers—not through direct attack, but subtle distractions, false humility, and twisted motives. “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James 5:16) Support the show Would you like to support the Cheer UP!
