1. The Christian life is not all glory, power, and happiness, we will share in the cross of Christ. What does that mean? You can listen to today's program and find out.

  2. You Want The Truth? You Can’t Handle The Truth! Gillespie and Riley begin their series on "The Bondage of The Will," one of only two books Martin Luther wrote that he claimed were worth preserving. In this episode, we begin at the end.
  3. Orgies and drunkenness and licentiousness, oh my! Sometimes Christians get hung up on the really “big” sins, but Paul lists quarreling and jealousy right there with them. What’s the connection? Craig and Troy discuss how love does no wrong to a neighbor, for love is the fulfillment of the law.
  4. “Vengeance is mine!” says the Lord. God has established governing authorities to punish the wrongdoer. How do we understand our role as Christians and our role as citizens? Craig and Troy wade into this topic and wrestle with God’s Word and difficult realities.
  5. How can we know the mysterious workings of God? We look to Jesus: Jesus does His job of Jesus-ing only the way He can Jesus. Jesus never did His Messiah work the way that people thought that He should, and nothing has changed. We are blessed that He is not a God created of our own image and imagination. All of this is revealed to us through the God’s word alone, and in that word we have comfort of what Christ has done for us.
  6. Chad and Daniel wrap up Deuteronomy and in doing so finish the Torah.
  7. Romans 7 is a pivotal chapter in the New Testament. The Apostle Paul laments that he keeps doing the sinful things that he hates and the good things that wants to do, he doesn't. Then we discover that the more godly one is, the less one sees oneself to be godly. Funny how that works. Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more.
  8. Chad and Daniel have to deal with a bunch of odd things in this episode. What do we do with strange laws and how does a body hanging from a tree help us understand?
  9. Welcome to Let the Bird Fly! a podcast about living freely in a world given back to us.
  10. God is concerned with justice so He puts rules in place for Judges. How does the belief in ONE God separate Israel from the rest of the world?
  11. God tells the people not to do certain things for the sake of the dead and to refrain from eating different animals. Why does God command these things?
  12. Daddy needs to discuss some law and grace.... Chicka-chickahhhhh! This week, Gillespie and Riley go live, reading, discussing, and responding to your questions and comments about Bunyan's writing on law and grace.
