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

    Lutherans and Tradition

    Lutherans and Tradition

    In episode TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-THREE, Mike, Jason, and Wade discuss how Lutherans have historically approached tradition. Does tradition have authority? How does it relate to Scripture? What makes a tradition good or bad? How is Lutheranism's historic approach different than other denominations? We hope you enjoy the episode!

    Lifelong Learning for Ministry

    Lifelong Learning for Ministry

    In episode TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-TWO, Mike, Jason, and Wade discuss the importance of lifelong learning, especially for clergy. Just as confirmation is the beginning of a life of learning, so also graduation from seminary is the same. All three of the guys admit they could do better, but it's important to use the tools we've been given to continue to grow professionally and personally. We hope you enjoy the episode!

    Religions and Denominations

    Religions and Denominations

    In episode TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-ONE, Mike and Wade (has anyone seen Jason anywhere lately?) discuss religions and denominations? What is a religion? What is a denomination? To what degree are these useful categories? How does Christianity fit? How does Lutheranism fit? Can all religions and denominations be lumped together and compared and contrasted? We hope you enjoy the episode!

    Image of God

    Image of God

    In episode TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NINE, Mike, Wade, and Greg (should he just replace Jason longterm?) discuss the image of God. What is it? How do different Christian theologians and churches treat it? Do we still have it? If so, how? What role does it play in theology in general? We hope you enjoy the episode!

Finally a show for truckers!

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.
