In today's episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron interviews Tilly Dillehay, author of "My Dear Hemlock" and "Seeing Green." After experiencing her own journey from apostasy to faith, Tilly now uses creative storytelling to expose the subtle ways spiritual forces work against Christian marriages. Her latest book, inspired by C.S. Lewis's "Screwtape Letters," follows a female character through the common temptations women face in marriage and faith.
In this enlightening conversation, we explore:
- The reality of spiritual warfare in everyday marriage and family life
- How simple discourtesies can grow into resentment and create openings for deeper spiritual issues
- The power of gratitude to transform your perspective toward your spouse and circumstances
- Why our "pocket mirrors" (phones and devices) lift us out of God's intended timeline for our lives
- The importance of confession in unlocking the spiritual "cages" we build through hidden sin
- How to maintain a balanced biblical view of demonic influences without giving them undue power
- Why belief in God's promises is fundamental to experiencing transformation and freedom
Whether you're curious about spiritual warfare, struggling with temptation in your marriage, or seeking to strengthen your faith against subtle attacks, this conversation offers biblical wisdom and practical insights for recognizing and overcoming the enemy's strategies.
