  2. Today on the Almanac, we celebrate a CHA milestone!
  3. Scott and Caleb discuss Prince Caspian, the second book authored by C.S. Lewis in the Chronicles of Narnia.
  4. In the constant search for new and novel experiences, are we forsaking the simple word of God? Beware of the leaven of novelty.
  5. Gretchen and Katie talk through what can sometimes feel like opposing needs: studying the Bible deeply, and fellowshipping with one another.
  6. Like needing to find a bathroom, the urgency of preaching the presence of God’s kingdom should be felt in the very inner being of every pastor. Not that anything has changed, but God is definitely demonstrating the vulnerability of sinners to the masses. The harvest is now!
  7. מלכי־צדק - And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave him a tenth of everything. (GENESIS 14:18–20)
  8. The year was 1566. We remember a tempestuous theologian, Johann Agricola. The reading is a stanza from the hymn “Lord Hear the Voice of My Complaint” by Agricola.
  9. You Gotta Pump Those Numbers, Those Are Rookie Numbers. We continue our examination of Tim Keller's Biblical Critique of Secular Justice and Critical Theory. In this episode, can a society maximize the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people by ignoring original sin?
  10. In this part two, Pastors Riley and Gillespie continue our reading of this contemporary article on the relationship of the Church and State from John MacArthur. 
  11. 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!
  12. On episode 32 of the Thinking Fellows, we introduce our next series of topics surrounding Christian apologetics. Listen to find out what the purpose and place of apologetics are within the Christian life. Sit back, relax, grab a drink, and enjoy the show.
