    Wounded Pride

    Send us Fan Mail Screwtape Letters 25, 26 & 27 This encore episode drops us into the demon Screwtape’s masterclass on weaponizing wounded pride. The target? A freshly converted believer whose greatest threat isn’t outright sin, but a simmering grudge against a godly woman who dared to correct him. Screwtape then teaches his demonic nephew, Wormwood, how to polish offense into idolatry—turning every sermon, song, and sacrificial act of the believers new church family into proof that he’s “not being fed.” Tune in as we expose the demonic math: one small grievance + relentless rigorous reflection on a grievance = a soul too distracted to pray.  Support the show Would you like to support the Cheer UP!

    The Dark Side of Social Justice

    Send us Fan Mail Screwtape Letters 22, 23 & 24 Screwtape flips the script—truth itself becomes the bait, politics and “social justice” the camouflage.  In this episode, we expose how Satan weaponizes noble causes. Screwtape upgrades from whispers to full-spectrum psy-ops—truth bent through politics, “justice,” and spiritual buzzwords until prayer feels pointless. We expose the demonic assembly line that turns noble causes into soul-killing noise, show how the Holy Spirit cuts through the static, and remind every listener: the war is real, the weapons are spiritual, and the family table is still the front line.

    Soul Snares

    Send us Fan Mail Screwtape Letters 20 & 21 In this encore episode of C.S. Lewis's, Screwtape Letters, we discuss letters 20 & 21, where the head demon Screwtape schools his nephew Wormwood on how to twist his humans “spare moments” into soul-snares—convince the human the schedule is his, and God's gentle interruptions will feel like theft. We unpack Screwtape's playbook against “time entitlement,” and ask the only question that matters: whose calendar are you keeping?

    When Satan Attacks Your Weakest Moments

    Send us Fan Mail Letters 18 & 19 Hell’s Playbook for Hijacking Your Weakest Moments What if your struggles aren’t random—but a targeted demonic operation? In this hard-hitting encore episode, we rip open Letters 18 & 19 of The Screwtape Letters, where C.S. Lewis exposes: Hell’s favorite attack strategy: How demons exploit your physical exhaustion, mental fog, and emotional lows (Screwtape cackles: “Attack when the body is weak and the will is weaker!”). The “Noonday Devil” Deception: Why subtle temptations (complacency, cynicism, apathy) are deadlier than dramatic battles. The trap demons use to isolate you from God’s presence. Why “low-grade spiritual exhaustion” was Wormwood’s preferred weapon over outright sin. How to spot demonic whispers in your weary moments—and shut them down with Scripture. Satan doesn’t need you to renounce God—just to live like He’s irrelevant. For a richer understanding of demons and their relationship with humans, we recommend revisiting our Do You Have A Demon Assigned To You episode, where we discuss, in depth, the Scriptures that covers those topics.   Support the show Would you like to support the Cheer UP!

    Unlocked Cages

    Send us Fan Mail Screwtape Letters 14 & 15 Ever seen a bird try to fly while chained to a rock? That’s what happens when we let the past hijack our present. In this episode, we crack open Letters 14 & 15 of The Screwtape Letters, where C.S. Lewis exposes: How demons weigh you down with yesterday’s failures. Why God’s love is an updraft—not an anchor (Isaiah 40:31) The moment a bird realizes its cage was never locked (the Believer realizing Romans 8:1) Hell’s birdcages are guilt, shame, and false nostalgia. The devil doesn’t need to break our wings—just convince us they’re still broken. “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36) #FlyFree #Devil #Wings #NoMoreCages Support the show Would you like to support the Cheer UP!

    How Demons Hijack Your Idle Mind

    Send us Fan Mail Screwtape Letters 12 & 13 What if your quietest moments are the devil’s favorite playground? In this episode, we crack open Letters 12 & 13 of The Screwtape Letters, where C.S. Lewis exposes: How boredom breeds “harmless” thoughts that slowly poison faith. Why your spiritual highs/lows aren’t accidents—they’re demonic strategy. Why restlessness is more dangerous than busyness. #MindWarfare #SpiritualWarfare #Hijacked Support the show Would you like to support the Cheer UP! Podcast?

    How Demons Hijack Your Friendships & Your Faith

    Send us Fan Mail Screwtape Letters 10 & 11 In this episode, we dissect Letters 10 & 11 of The Screwtape Letters, where C.S. Lewis exposes: Toxic friendships that seem harmless but erode your faith.  How Satan weaponizes challenges to make you doubt God’s goodness. The “perilous slide”: Why sin rarely starts with a leap—just “reasonable” steps off God’s path. Satan doesn’t need you to hate God—just to prioritize anything over Him.
