In this episode, we explore Chapters 3 and 4 of The Great Divorce, where the journey moves from abstraction to confrontation. The ghosts arrive at the threshold of Heaven—a place so solid, so intensely real, that it exposes their ghostliness and fragility. Some flee immediately, unwilling to face the discomfort of grace. Others linger, only to be met by radiant, transformed spirits who invite them into a joy that cannot be earned—only received. These chapters introduce Lewis’s central tension: whether we are willing to surrender our pride, our grievances, and even our sense of justice, in order to receive a kind of love that undoes us and remakes us at the same time.
