Back to EpisodesSunday Series — Mere Christianity: A Conversation for the Common Hall – Book Three, Chapter Four: Morality and Psychoanalysis
Description
In episode 292 Lance Smith walks through C.S. Lewis’ chapter "Morality and Psychoanalysis," explaining the difference between psychological healing and moral choice. Lewis argues psychoanalysis repairs damaged instincts, while morality is what we do with the material we’re given.
Key points: bad psychological traits are illnesses, not sins; each choice shapes the kind of person we become; growing closer to God increases awareness of our need for grace.
Join Lance as he ties Lewis’ insights back to Scripture and invites listeners to keep asking honest questions about spiritual growth.
