CS Lewis: A Slip of the Tongue

27 Jul 2025

Description

What if a simple slip in prayer revealed something deeper, something true about how we protect our comfort from God’s call? In this episode, we explore C.S. Lewis’s short but piercing essay “A Slip of the Tongue,” where he confronts the quiet temptation to give God just enough, but not everything. Through story, Scripture, and reflection, we’ll wrestle with the difference between dabbling in faith and diving into full surrender, and why the Christian life begins again every morning with the prayer, “Grant me to make an unflawed beginning today, for I have done nothing yet.” Whether you’ve read the essay or not, this conversation will challenge you to consider what it really means to say yes to God, with no conditions and no lifeline to the shore.Acoustic Background by LolaMoore -- https://freesound.org/s/769686/ -- License: Attribution 4.0 This is a public episode.
