In his sunlit Oxford study, C.S. Lewis shared insights with a troubled student about pride and divine correction, drawing from Isaiah 5:15. Their conversation reveals how spiritual anxiety can be a gift, and apparent destruction may actually be God's way of rebuilding us – a timeless lesson about humility and growth that still speaks to us today.

In the luminous moments between past and present, just like a path through an enchanted forest, our journey of growth reveals itself as more beautiful than we imagined. C.S. Lewis, from his study at Oxford's Magdalen College, offers us a profound truth: your past self didn't fail - they succeeded in bringing you exactly where you needed to be. Through the lens of Lewis's own transformation from atheist to Christian apologist, discover how every step, even those that seemed to lead astray, was illuminating the path forward. This reflection explores how our perceived failures are often like waves that propel a boat forward, or switchbacks on a mountain trail that make the impossible climb possible. Join us as we explore why your previous chapters weren't mistakes, but rather stepping stones guiding you through your own enchanted journey of faith and personal growth.
