A podcast about Living Freely in a World Given Back to Us.

    Liturgical Time

    Liturgical Time

    In episode TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY, Mike and Wade discuss Christianity and time. In a world with so many calendars and seasons, how do Christians ground themselves? How does the Bible speak about time? How does the church observe it? What is the value of the church year and a liturgical sense of time? We hope you enjoy the episode!

    The Spirit of Lutheranism

    The Spirit of Lutheranism

    In episode TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT, Jason and Wade discuss the spirit of Lutheranism and what that might be, if there is one. We focus especially on two contemporaries of Martin Luther, Matthias Flacius Illyricus and Johannes Bugenhagen. Should Lutheranism's spirit be more Luther or Melanchthon, Flacius or Bugenhagen? Ultimately, we decide Lutheranism has only one Spirit who works through the means of grace to proclaim sins forgiven and strengthen faith. In the process, that Spirit uses all sorts of people with different personalities, gifts, and dispositions. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Edifying!

I can listen to these guys all day! Their discussions on Biblical truths, philosophy, and culture are deep yet accessible. Mike and Wade are also engaging and entertaining. I learn every episode, and my faith grows as they mine the riches of Biblical theology.
