What’s New from 1517?
Giving Tuesday
We are only a couple weeks away from a very important day for 1517. We’re coming up on Giving Tuesday! People worldwide celebrate Giving Tuesday by donating to their favorite nonprofit organizations. I imagine you may already know about it, or have received info from some of the nonprofits you’re connected with.
1517 will be participating with a goal to raise $200,000 and we hope you will join us. Every single gift we receive that day will go towards projects like this one AND will be 100% matched!
   If you answered “Yes,” to any or all of these questions, please join us on Giving Tuesday! Your support makes these resources and this very show possible – we are completely funded by listeners. Please consider supporting here. 
Freedom Lessons
What do seminary professors, Luther’s Small Catechism, and Hip Hop have in common? With a surprising blend of contributors, 1517 Music proudly presents “Freedom Lessons,” its latest musical creation. “Freedom Lessons” delves into the core teachings of Luther’s Small Catechism through the medium of music, offering a fresh and innovative way to convey the Reformation’s enduring truths. This album is a testament to 1517 Music’s commitment to conveying the profound truths of the Reformation in a creative and captivating manner.
This record explores the chief parts of Luther’s Small Catechism through music. It features performances by Flame, LOSO, and many other highly talented musicians. Find the full album and learn more here.
Your God is too Glorious, 2nd Edition
 Your God Is Too Glorious reminds readers that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it’s the regular, everyday people that God tends to use to do his most important work. In this second edition of the book, you will now find discussion questions at the end of each chapter to help facilitate discussion. You can get your copy here.
