What if the choices you make today are shaping your eternity? Join Jonathan Roumie and Hallow guide Anna for a 7-day challenge on memento mori — Latin for "remember you will die" — with C. S. Lewis’s imaginative masterpiece, The Great Divorce. In this powerful story about Heaven, Hell, and the human heart, Lewis takes us on an extraordinary journey to the outskirts of Heaven, where the souls of the departed must decide whether they are willing to let go of the things keeping them from God. Through unforgettable encounters, we’ll explore the subtle ways pride, resentment, lust, and even seemingly good things can hold us back from the fullness of God’s love, seeing how our choices today can echo in eternity.
