Evil is not just evil by itself. Evil must attack good to be evil. “Evil is a parasite, not an original thing.” Watch this discussion of C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity, Part 2, to see the ways good and evil play out in every day life and how Jesus creates a way for us to return to good — as we were intended and to help others do the same.

“Be really careful never to separate the work of God from what they're doing the six days of the week that they’re working. That is the work of God. It is amazing to me how that has brought people out of the woodwork to say, ‘I've never heard that before.’" - J.D. Greear

What’s your investment philosophy? Does it align with your life philosophy? Does it align with your core beliefs? For the followers of Jesus, this should be a simple answer, yet the truth is that it’s complicated and for most of us it’s not consistent.

C.S Lewis’ opening thesis of Mere Christianity is two fold. First, that human beings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought to behave in a certain way, and cannot really get rid of it. Second, that they do not in fact behave in that way. They know the Law of Nature and they break it. These two facts are the foundation of all clear thinking about ourselves and the universe we live in.” Watch the group discussion and understand how to practically examine the Source of your faith.

C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the unique vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to “Our Father Below.” At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the wordly-wise devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation—and triumph over it—ever written.

Dan Williams, a former NFL First-Round Draft Pick, explains the difficulties and challenges of a life that transitions from athletics — letting it all go on the field — to a life following and trusting Jesus and letting Jesus have his worries and his dreams. “Worry is a priority problem.” Dan gives plenty of relevant examples for family, business, and non profit leaders.
