1. This is the first of our monthly BONUS episodes for our Freely Given book club. Gretchen Ronnevik and Katie Koplin are discussing the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis this month.
  2. Dr. Steve Paulson discusses what it means to endure evil with faith.
  3. In episode TWO HUNDRED AND THREE, Mike, Wade, and Jason continue their discussion of Helmut Thielicke’s A Little Exercise for Young Theologians. The guys think the book is worth reading, not only for young theologians, but all theologians, laity and the ordained.
  4. What if God doesn’t hear me? The doubts and fears that lurk beneath our faith can rise up and speak to us in our worst times of struggle. Colin Heinrich sings “When Hope Disappears".
  5. Fear and great joy at Jesus' resurrection! But also rejection and refusal.
  6. The Thinking Fellows make a case for reading old books.
  7. We asked Chad Bird about what it means to wrestle with God. Later this summer, he's coming out with his book on Jacob: "Limping with God." Our discussion went from Jacob being renamed to "Israel" which means "wrestles with God" and how wrestling with God was a keyhole to the crucifixion.
  8. We get to hear about the parable of the sower in this episode, as we continue to talk to Daniel Emery Price and Erick Sorensen about their book "Scandalous Stories: a Sort of Commentary on the Parables."
