The podcast analyzes C.S. Lewis’s Letter 9 from The Screwtape Letters, focusing on spiritual undulation—the natural highs and lows in a believer’s life.

Letter 7’s emphasis is on demonic concealment. The hosts contrast Satan’s hidden influence with God’s self-revelation through Christ and the Holy Spirit. They cite Ephesians 6:12 (“powers and principalities”) and Daniel’s delayed angelic answer (Daniel 10:12-13) to illustrate how evil operates covertly in the spiritual realm, while God actively “removes scales from people’s eyes” to reveal truth. Why do demons hide? The overt revelation of evil would drive people toward God and make faith empirical,
