1. In this episode, Blake sits down with the team behind Storymakers. They discuss the process of taking a story in written word and turning it into a fully interactive zine for kids. 
  2. The year was 1634. We remember the Japanese martyr, Margaret of Nagasaki. The reading is from Brennan Manning, from his "The Furious Longing For God."
  3. Be a hero and listen up to the preachers! Real men die for a purpose and bring back a little doctrine in their sermons. Martin Luther would be proud.
  4. The year was 1984. We remember the polish priest and martyr Jerzy Popiełuszko. The reading is Les Murray's "Easter, 1984."
  5. This isn't a plus one... The second part of our episode on Patrick Henry Reardon's book, Christ in the Psalms. Taking a hard look at how we confuse the two kingdoms, avoid controversial topics in the church and the tragic consequences of not taking everything captive to Christ.
  6. The year was 1646. We remember Isaac Jogues, the first saint and French martyr in North America. The reading is from S. Trevor Francis, two stanzas of his famous hymn, "O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus."
  7. The year was 108. We remember Ignatius of Antioch, one of the earliest church fathers, was put to death. The reading is from St. Ignatius, a good word for 108 AD and 2020.
  8. This is not a drill... We return to Patrick Henry Reardon's book, Christ in the Psalms. In this episode, we consider Psalm 6 and the very real, earthly effects of God's wrath, along with political bookends.
  9. The year was 1950, and C.S. Lewis introduced the world to his classic “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.” The reading is an exchange from the same between Lucy and Mr. Beaver.
  10. All about the resurrection of the dead.
  11. What is essential and non-essential in an age of crisis? Ringside meets the Craft of Preaching with Dr. Peter Nafzger in a discussion about preaching to specific people in a specific location. Half of the Seminary may be from Nebraska, but what does your hyper-local world need to hear? Maybe the preacher’s task is to start a crisis.
