1. It’s Good to Be a Weird Family. In this episode, we continue our discussion about the Benda family in Live Not by Lies. Why is it important to raise weird children? What is the long-term impact of raising children to be Christian dissidents? How can we strengthen children to withstand worldly pressures to conform to normalcy?
  2. Caleb and Scott discuss article four of the Apology to the Augsburg Confession.
  3. ארמי אבד אבי - “A wandering Aramean was my father. And he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous. And the Egyptians treated us harshly and humiliated us and laid on us hard labor." DEUTERONOMY 26:5–6
  4. רצע - “If [your Hebrew servant] says to you, ‘I will not go out from you,’ because he loves you and your household, since he is well-off with you, then you shall take an awl, and put it through his ear into the door, and he shall be your slave forever." DEUTERONOMY 15:16–17
  5. The year was 1929. We remember when the Lateran Pact recognized the creation of Vatican City as an autonomous country. The reading is Thomas Campion’s “Lenten Hymn.”
  6. Look away from me, that I may smile again. Rather than putting on a happy face, it might be better to honestly grieve during seasons of heartbrokenness.
  7. On this day, we remember St. Cuthbert and Fred Rogers. The reading is a poem, "Lent" by Christina Rossetti.
  8. A song is sung by Deborah to cement what God has done in the history of Israel. Why does this song and others have an address to enemies? Why is God’s interaction with creation so personal?
  9. Our goal is to proclaim the genuine good news—that’s what “Gospel” means—of Christ’s forgiveness for you. We do not offer you better tips, techniques or checklists. Instead, You Are Forgiven is sermons by faithful pastors who will clearly show how you cannot be forgiven by your own efforts, no matter how well you do on your homework, your checklist of tasks. But they will also show how you are actually and already forgiven because Jesus has done all that is needed, for you!
  10. Forgive to be forgiven? Public fasting? What are those things about?
