From what I understand , the interruptions that wake us up out of our comfort zone are blessings in disguise, gifts, with which if we allow, with which we learn, we grow & oh boy do we learn.

I too learned from the line, "our own work is not nearly as important as the interruptions to it." It has supported mature and receptive responses to even everyday preoccupations. C.S. Lewis has been wonderfully used by God through his writings. I was glad to hear this interview from his son who certainly inspired some serious contemplation, confirmed our esteem for Lewis, and unselfishly allowed some of his life's story to encourage hope and show our overwhelming need for Christ.

“Our own personal work is nowhere near as important as the interruptions. The interruptions are the real substance of God’s job for us”. What an encouragement and a positive confirmation for how I’ve always lived life but been second guessing myself about the past few months… it IS so profoundly true. Hearing this was no coincidence. Thank you and God bless.

This is just a variation of the old saw “Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans” (quoted by John Lennon in one of his last songs) with God gratuitously added. Without the God bit it’s undoubtedly true, but the God bit puts me in mind of Niel’s Bohr’s famous retort to Einstein when Einstein majestically proclaimed that “God doesn’t play dice with the universe.” “Stop telling God what to do,” Bohr admonished him. That’s advice we can-and should-all take to heart. If God has “a job for us”, we don’t and can’t know what it is. It’s astonishingly arrogant to pretend otherwise.

I loved hearing about all the adventures of Douglas & especially his stories of his life & Jesus Christ. I loved the quote near the end, "he didn't leave a shadow, he left a glow," Praise God for Douglas & his beautiful family & their witness before God & others now where Jesus has sent them! They are such a blessing in Jesus Christ.

"I don't like the term, 'falling in love'. . .romance, feelings. . .they don't last. . . love is what you DO". Douglas, with this one statement you have encapsulated your step-father -- and much of the reason why our world is in so much pain. Thank you for your reminisces. . .Wow, a postscript here (eight more minutes left, I might add more!) --- I cannot BELIEVE your transparency regarding your 'fall' in misjudgment, and as you said, pride and arrogance that led to it. Thank you, Douglas, you have modeled how one ought to handle grievous sin: facing it forthrightly, no whining and excuses; giving such a natural explanation of HOW we get ourselves into such messes (we have no moral guide, no plumb-line without Jesus Christ) and giving, throughout this narrative of your straying and falling, credit to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for rescuing you. Thank you! Jack and your mother are proud, I am sure, of how you "faced it".

Really? You don't know any people who have a moral compass without being Jesus followers? Truth and love is truth and love, no matter how they come into your life. Accepting a higher power is human, not Christian. Like Jesus. He did that, without having a Jesus to accept.

@@livb6945 A moral compass, conscience, is in built in us when we are born as humans; whether we lived centuries ago or in the remotest corner of the earth or the thick of the city etc. Living, walking by the higher call, the less traveled road is a different matter altogether. Billions live or at least try to live a moral life, barely making it; living a life of defeat, of secrets, of unimaginable stress and some of absolute monstrosity. The victory through meekness, recognition and acknowledgment of our shortcomings and God’s empowering, energizing, saving of us through Christ is what the gentleman and the comment are speaking of. As to Jesus, He is the way, the truth and the life, God’s wisdom, love itself; He did not, does not need to, ‘accept’ anything. He is who He is, our blessed hope, the Lion and the Lamb. Dig into the scriptures; it is something that “happens” to one, never something that one can explain to another. We all grapple with it throughout our lives, I think, that mysteriously beautiful and beautifying truth. Peace and love to you.

I met a guy, a Lear jet pilot, in the late 1990's by the name of James Gresham in NC, USA, who talked about Australia and Northern Ireland and all the various jobs he had. He taught us all how do the waltz. I never got the connection that he was the son of Douglas Gresham, the grand stepson of C.S. Lewis until after he had long since left and one of my close friends told me about him. He was a very interesting character. I spotted him in the family photo in this piece. In many ways he is so much like his dad. Great guy.

Douglas's story is similar to mine. My mother died of cancer in 1975, when I was eighteen, still living at home. My dad took me to the bottom of the garden 10 days before Mum died and told me she was dying. Tears came to my eyes, but Dad told me not to cry because Mum didn't know, and he didn't want her to know. He also told me not to tell anyone. I knew I wouldn't be able to do that. I asked if I could tell the minister of my church, provided I told him to keep it confidential. Dad said that's fine. Idid that, and he came to visit Mum. The day she died, I rang him. He didn't have a car then, so he caught two buses to be with me. I live opposite a park, so we walked to a bench and sat and talked. He was going on holiday soon, but he offered to cancel it, so he could take mum's funeral. I appreciated the offer, but his father had died six months before, so I told him he needed his holiday.

Even after seeing the Hopkins version last night, the older one is my preferred- the Lord must've known what He was doing letting me mix them up! What an incredible story. And what a legacy Douglas turned out to be. A boy who suffered so many things and yet has turned out to be so confident, accomplished, talented in multifaceted ways, all while raising a lovely family and finally giving his life to God. What an all around happy ending!!! Douglas, you are Jack and Joy's happy ending!

Well, Douglas I often wondered how your life turned out! You came to Katanning, WA to work at 6WB when we were living in the Residence. We were recent migrants too. I was, at that stage, struggling with my faith, but my children enjoyed the Narnia books. When I finally stopped arguing with God I was so blessed to read C. S. Lewis's books which helped me enormously. By this time you and the family were long gone, but I now enjoy John Lennox videos and he, like me, is a great fan of Lewis. So thrilled to know you finally came into the Kingdom.

Gives some interesting insight into who Lewis was as a father and how much of what he wrote must have been a part of his daily speaking and thinking. I wasn't sure what to expect, if it would be a person who knew Lewis talking about him, as I've seen before. But this was really a person who had been with and been taught by Lewis, really great interview.

@John Murphy, He said just because you believe in Jesus Christ or God doesn't mean you are a Christian. Satan knows Jesus Christ and his demons and fallen angels tremble at the sound of his name. To become a true Christian believer, you must believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross and rose again on the third day becoming a new perfect being, the final Adam. Triumphing over evil and corruption (spiritually) forever and giving us eternal life in God's presence. By believing through faith you essentially cleanse your spirit from the first Adam's corruption and become a Child of God. This allows you to become one with the Lord and Saviour, Only God, Jesus Christ. You delight in his presence in Heaven and feel his presence through the Holy Spirit (which is Jesus Christ) on earth. John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. After this, the desire to read God's word, the Bible, and your desire to go to church to be around other believers - Child's of God, and surrounding yourself with Christian friends will naturally occur. The Christian life is a life long eternal journey. You find yourself by seeking the truth which is Jesus Christ.

I knew someone who used to work at the Kilns. She was educating people about The Kilns. I would feel so blessed to work anywhere near anything having to do with this or the UK.

What a marvelous man, so steeped in that same aura of transcendence and immanent Presence that CSL conveyed through his writings. His story about his favorite written passage or moment with CSL starting around 27:08 is a tiny bright jewel.

I so wish for every person to listen or read My Life Story of C S Lewis and then Douglas Gresham's live story. It really left a "glow" for me as well. That is the same Jesus Christ and Lord of Lords that we know today.

He seems to me to be a man of quality and honestly. His personality reflects the notion that if you believe in something it will be right. His therapy I think resembles somewhat of an Alcoholics Anonymous approach. I just stumbled on the C. S. Lewis story and now, another journey begins with me. I do very much like the Douglas interview. Now to move on perhaps to the famous story of Narnia. I saw the movie and it was marvelous. Anyhow, thank you very much Douglas and family for sharing your story. Yours truly, Mr. Holliday in Los Angeles, California, USA at the age of 78.

Oh how exciting for you to have not yet read the Narnia series! I can promise you, you will not regret reading them! There is so much more depth and feeling to them than anything that the film's could convey. Please start with the Magicians Nephew, which though written after the series, is supposed to come first. I would also recommend reading Lewis's "Space Trilogy" and another book of his I enjoyed was "The Great Divorce". ❤

✨ A direct connection across the veil!! ✨. So beautiful! 💜 And so interesting! How wonderful she lived for four more years after you and Jesus prayed. Thy will be done is so wonderful and powerful. Religion has nothing to do with what you experienced in my opinion. Lead by example is a basic tenet of life. 10:00 “ Our own personal work is nowhere near as important as the interruptions to it! The interruptions are the real substance of God’s work for us.”. 💛 I think you are well on the track of humbleness and can truly bridge people between pride and humbleness given your personal journey. Blessings on you and your family’s journey with your ministry.

A lot of famous people, including John Lennox, would take pride in the fact that they had some sort of connection with Jack. Doug is on another level :)
