In this episode, we explore Chapters 7 and 8 of The Great Divorce, where C.S. Lewis paints two haunting images of resistance to redemption. A jaded cynic sees Heaven as a con, refusing even the possibility of joy, while a woman paralyzed by shame cannot accept the grace extended to her. Through these encounters, Lewis shows how mistrust and self-obsession can harden the soul as much as overt rebellion. It’s not just sin that keeps us from Heaven—it’s the stories we tell ourselves to avoid surrender.
