1. What responsibilities do individual Christians and their churches possess to fight against an antagonistic culture?

  3. חרבה - Now the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firmly on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all Israel was passing over on dry ground until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan. JOSHUA 3:17
  4. Why do you worry, when God has your back? Craig and Troy consider the lillies, the 1st Commandment, and the comfort found in seeking first His kingdom.
  5. The year was 1681. We remember Isabel Alison and Marion Harvey, martyrs for the radical Covenanters. The last word for today comes from St. Jerome, a word on the church and martyrdom.
  6. On this day, we remember St. Perpetua & Felicity who died in 203, and Alfred Edersheim, born 1825. The reading is "Remember Me, Implored the Thief" by Emily Dickinson.
  7. On this episode we recall the story Jack and the Beanstalk, discussing God's Kingdom and its perceived insignificance, also drawing connections from this fairy tale to the biblical account of David and Goliath. We were inspired by an essay by J.R.R. Tolkien called “On Fairy Stories”. Ultimately, these fun stories stir up simple truths about ourselves, our God, and the greatest story we know in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
  8. Between the years 1550 and 1560 the giants of the Reformation are dying. The Fellows discuss the political and theological turmoil that occurred as a result of the Smalcald war.

  11. On episode THIRTY-FIVE of Let the Bird Fly! the guys discuss the first season in the church year: Advent. Without Ben and without a guest Mike, Wade, and Peter somehow find a way to talk for well over an hour about the season of Advent (well, they do take some time out for the Free-for-All, I suppose).
  12. What is the purpose of the ornateness of the tabernacle? What is going on with everything the priests and high priest have wear?
