Protecting Your Heart Is Making You Lonelier. C.S. Lewis Saw It Coming. Ep 208

The Kirk Cameron Show

Show Notes

We’ve never been more connected, and we’ve never felt more alone. Why? I think C.S. Lewis put his finger on it decades ago: we want love without the risk. In this episode, I unpack what Lewis wrote in The Four Loves about the heart that’s locked away to keep it safe, and why the very thing we do to protect ourselves is making us lonelier. Jesus didn’t love from a safe distance. He moved toward us, all the way to the cross. And I’ll give you one simple action step to start pushing back against our black pill culture today.

Can you manifest the life you want just by believing hard enough? James and I dig into the viral manifestation trend, why so much of it has crept into the church, and why I’m grateful God doesn’t always give me what I want. Let Him write your story. He knows the best ones.

This Monday, let’s talk about the fear of making the wrong decision. The wrong job, the wrong move, the wrong relationship. I wrestled with that worry for decades until I discovered something that gave me real peace: God reroutes.

Christa Pike tortured and murdered a 19-year-old girl in 1995. Last month, Tennessee tried to execute her, and she survived. Now the question is whether they get to try again. I want to go beyond the headlines and ask what God actually says about capital punishment, because forgiveness and justice aren’t enemies. Where do you stand? Tell me in the comments, and bring your Bible.

Why is Gen Z more politically extreme than ever? Is it what they believe, or what they’ve inherited?
