    Life After Christmas (Ep. 109)

    Pastor Cronkright and Pastor Hill bring 2022 to a close. In this episode we review the Christmas happenings at our churches and introduce a Bonhoeffer contemporary, Alfred Delp, a Jesuit priest who was also martyred by Hitler's Nazi regime. We ALSO have a big announcement: This is the last episode of Jesus, Dietrich, and Me. We will be continuing an EXPANDED discussion on the new Suffering Servants Podcast in 2023. Look for it in January! More information will come early next week. Follies this week include Whoopi Goldberg and (shockingly!) the lying American government.

    Christmas In A Cold Prison (Ep. 108)

    Today we take a look at an interesting piece from Desiring God about Dietrich's first Christmas in prison. We talk about prison life, the two-sided coin of Christmas (waiting and suffering), desiring to be rescued, and how suffering brings a more meaningful and authentic Christmas. Follies of the week include scientific exploding toilets and vaccinated Christmas. Christmas In A Cold Prison Cell - https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/christmas-in-a-cold-prison

    God Is With Us (Ep. 107)

    "God is with us." That is the message of Dietrich on April 15, 1928 for Easter. It is the same message for Christmas 2022: "God is with us." On this episode we talk about what that means for us in our day-to-day lives. God is with us whether we like it or not. How will we respond? This week's follies include the Georgia Senate "race" and the racism of Shark Week!

    The Frightening Side Of Advent (Ep. 106)

    Maybe there is more to Christmas and Advent than what we are often told in the movies, television shows, books, and music (spoiler: there is). Today we take a look at an article from Jeff Walters from Southern Seminary, who flushes out some of Bonhoeffer's preaching on Advent. To Dietrich, Advent means waiting. It also means judgment. At the end of the day, the baby in the manger is your Savior and your Messiah...but He is also your Judge. At Christmas, the apocalypse begins! Follies include Black Friday and the spineless Justin Trudeau.  Audio of Elf is curtesy of HBO Max, which we pay for.

    Proposal 3 & Bonhoeffer's Secret Weapon (Ep. 104)

    We had to. We discuss Proposal 3 and the evil it is. Pastor Hill introduces Pastor Paul Schneider from Germany and how he was a spoke in the wheels of injustice. We also continue with a new article about Bonhoeffer's "secret weapon." Guess you'll have to listen to find out! Tyler's article in response to Proposal 3: https://tylercronkright.com/2022/11/10/proposal-3-passed-now-what/ Follies include the election and 10 fool proof ways to ensure you win an election.

    The Sacramental Bonhoeffer (Ep. 103)

    In this episode, we close out the controversial article from episode 102. We discuss religionless Christianity, understanding God's Word, the parts of Scripture that "don't matter," and venerating God's Word simply because its God's Word. Dietrich holds God's Word in such high regard because at the end of the day, he is Sacramental. He believes God reveals himself to us in the written, spoken, and tangible Word that is Jesus Christ. Follies this week include Twitter and Election Day 2022.
