    Tracy Rugg: Why She Left the Homosexual Lifestyle

    Join us at the long table as we hear a testimony of repentance, healing, and new life in Christ.

    Vincent Shemwell: Usury, Mammon, and the Question the Church Stopped Asking

    Join us at the long table as we examine wealth, usury, and Christian conscience in light of Scripture and the Church’s historic teaching. From the Church Fathers to Luther and Walther, we explore why lending at interest was long understood as a moral and spiritual problem. Pastor Shemwell calls the Church to recover economic teaching not as political ideology, but as faithful Christian formation ordered toward generosity, neighbor-love, and trust in God’s provision.

Vincent Shemwell is a pastor whose journey out of Roman Catholicism was catalyzed in part by Rome’s historical reversal on usury. In this conversation, he traces how Scripture, the Church Fathers, Luther, and the Lutheran Confessions shaped his conviction that lending at interest for profit is a first-commandment issue tied to idolatry and the love of money.  🔗 Stay Connected with Us  📷 Instagram: @otl_podcast_  📘 Facebook: facebook.com/onthelinepod  𝕏 Twitter/X: @otl_podcast_ Send us a text https://memento70.com/ https://memento70.com/

    Dr. Gordon Wilson: The Creation vs. Evolution Debate Isn’t What You Think

    Join us at the long table as we hear a journey from modern Judaism to Christianity.

    Brady Finnern: A Lutheran Answer to Anxiety & Worry

    Join us at the long table as we reflect on pastoral leadership, congregational health, and the Church's calling in a time of institutional strain and cultural uncertainty. From parish ministry to district oversight, we explore what faithful leadership looks like when trust is thin, pressures are high, and the Church is called to remain steady, humble, and rooted in Christ.

    Vincent Shemwell: Why I Left Roman Catholicism for Lutheranism

    Join us at the long table as we embark on a journey out of Rome and into the confessional Lutheran tradition. From questions of authority, doctrine, and development to the sacraments, justification, and the nature of the Church, we explore why claims of unchanging tradition ultimately gave way to Scripture as the sure foundation of faith.

    Dr. John Rasmussen: Understanding Secularism and the Rise of the Nones

    Join us at the long table as we examine the quiet forces reshaping belief in the modern world—from secularism and moralistic therapeutic deism to expressive individualism and cultural Christianity. We explore how catechesis, apologetics, beauty, and disciplined formation can help the Church speak truthfully and compellingly in an age shaped more by feeling than by transcendence.
