1. Do we have an obligation to find and furnish evidence for our beliefs?
  2. Today on the Almanac, we remember Thomas McCrie Sr and the sometimes confusing labyrinthine Scottish church.
  3. Today on the Almanac, listener Sandy asks, “Can you explain the different pictures that are on your cover photo for CHA?"
  4. Today on the Almanac, today we remember St. Eligius- patron Saint of Veterinarians for a very peculiar reason. #OTD #1517 #churchhistory
  5. Today on the Almanac, we remember a preacher who was once called “the father of American Democracy” Thomas Hooker (spoiler: he wasn’t).
  6. Wade and Mike welcome back Dr. Martin Moldenhauer to discuss Mark Twain. Before getting to the main topic, the guys discuss the one publication that they would subscribe to if they could only get one publication. A big thanks to Dr. Moldenhauer for joining us on this episode.
  7. In the TWENTY-FOURTH episode in our Wingin' It series on the life of Martin Luther, Wade and Mike get back at their series on the life of Martin Luther after a few months hiatus. If you're forgetting where they're at (or just picking this up with this episode), the guys have taken only 23 episodes to get all the way up to.....1521 and the Diet of Worms.
  8. The year was 1680. We remember the mystic, adventurer, and self-proclaimed prophet, Antoinette Bourignon. The reading is from Kate Bowler, "Everything Happens for A Reason, and Other Lies I've Loved."
  9. On this day, the Decian persecution began in 250 AD. And in 1518, Tetzel published his Counter-Theses to Luther. The reading is "Resurrection" by Charles G.D. Roberts.
  10. 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!
  11. Last week we ran out of time and barely scratched the surface of the theology of the person and work of Christ. This week we continue our conversation and touch on active and passive obedience and other pieces of the "Godman" puzzle. Sit back, relax, and grab a drink as we conquer our first "part 2" episode.
