CS Lewis: Membership

Why you’re not just a face in the crowd: rediscovering the church as a living body.

In this episode, we explore C.S. Lewis’s profound essay “Membership” from The Weight of Glory, unpacking his vision of what it truly means to belong to the Body of Christ. Speaking to a world caught between radical individualism and soulless collectivism, Lewis offers a third way: a vision of Christian identity rooted in differentiation, mutual dependence, and eternal purpose. We walk through the key themes of the essay, connect them to Scripture, and offer practical reflections for Sunday School participants wrestling with what it means to be not just part of a church, but a living, irreplaceable member of Christ’s Body.
