Summary

Episode 249 launches a Sunday series on C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity by unpacking the book’s preface. Lance Smith explains Lewis’s hall-and-rooms metaphor, why he keeps a clear definition of "Christian," and his advice to be kind and pray for those who choose different doors. Next week: chapter one on the law of human nature.
