Send us Fan MailScrewtape Letters 25, 26 & 27This encore episode drops us into the demon Screwtape’s masterclass on weaponizing wounded pride. The target? A freshly converted believer whose greatest threat isn’t outright sin, but a simmering grudge against a godly woman who dared to correct him. Screwtape then teaches his demonic nephew, Wormwood, how to polish offense into idolatry—turning every sermon, song, and sacrificial act of the believers new church family into proof that he’s “not being fed.” Tune in as we expose the demonic math: one small grievance + relentless rigorous reflection on a grievance = a soul too distracted to pray. Support the showWould you like to support the Cheer UP!
