Mere Christianity E5 - We Have Cause to be Uneasy

In this episode of Leading Inward the hosts discuss key themes from C.S. Lewis's 'Mere Christianity,' focusing on the concept of 'uneasy.' They explore how society often seeks new explanations rather than turning to religion and delve into a detailed examination of uneasiness and moral law as presented by Lewis. The conversation covers how feelings of unease can stem from sin, lack of peace, fear, and doubt. They also discuss how recognizing one's inability to meet moral standards can lead to humility and improved relationships. The episode concludes with scriptural reflections highlighting the duality of God's nature as both a source of great comfort and great terror.
