Into the Deep #59: The Spiritual Combat - Ch. 61-66
THE LAST SHOW ON SPIRITUAL COMBAT. Final Perseverance. Microwave culture. Repetition isn’t always bad; sometimes it’s good. Can’t things be, if not good, at least not bad for too long? Living with reality. What is our first motion when we encounter difficulty - turning to God or becoming discouraged? The Sin of Presumption, I presume. [...]
Into the Deep #58: The Spiritual Combat - Ch. 55-58
Shiny little globe. The Feast of Corpus Christi (for you guys, at least). Coveting liturgy. Mmmmmmm… iconostasis. God is the perfect good. Spiritual Communion. Recalling God’s love for us. God can only create that which he wants.

Into the Deep #57: The Spiritual Combat - Ch. 53-58 and 60
Episode #57. Another big chunk. The Most Terrible of all Weapons. Or… the Swedish Jesus. A Veggie Tales viking. Power in death, power over death. Barabbas means “son of the father” vs. the True Son of the True Father.

Into The Deep #55: The Spiritual Combat - Ch. 44

Into The Deep #54: The Spiritual Combat - Ch. 33-43
Methods for Increasing Virtue. For real this time. Really. Wishing to mortify one’s passions. Are we avoiding opportunities for virtue? Hey, that’s pretty mild for a 16th century guy! Is my hair-shirt showing? Loving our enemies implies humility. Blab it and grab it - uh… no.

Into The Deep #52: The Spiritual Combat - Ch. 28-32
Episode #52. Tactics of the Devil. Darkness of running from sin to sin. Life without God is not any fun. Opportunities to sin. Living out the consequences of where we’ve been. Livin’ la viva chapter 29. Presumption. Bad thing. Agreeing to the value proposition of virtue rather than striving to increase it. It isn’t supposed [...]
Into The Deep #51: The Spiritual Combat - Ch. 27
Episode #51. Dr. Lee semester recap. Three classes on the Trinity! That’s the kind o humor you have come to expect from Into The Deep… Relentless, varied attacks of the devil. Diviso Textus… Mmmm… Latin… Disbelief in the devil. Obsession with the devil. The devil trembles at the name of God. The best way [...]
Into The Deep #50: The Spiritual Combat - Ch. 24-26
Episode #50. Shhhhhhh! “I have often repented for having spoken, but never for remaining silent.” Do we love the sounds of our own voices? Give careful governance to our habits of speech. Be Counter-Cultural: be Quiet. So… when we say we want “peace”… do we want OUR peace, or His peace. Or do we want [...]
