1. Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God. In this episode, we discuss tyranny and resistance while reading a book of the same title by Reformation scholar David Mark Whitford. What is tyranny? When are Christians called to resist tyranny, and what does that entail? Are there any standards by which a Christian may judge whether a government serves God or the devil?

  5. Mike once again finds his way over to Wade's backyard, this time to discuss the riveting topic of syllabi.

In this episode, Debi talks to Brian, a young man who has had experiences with megachurches and a celebrity pastor- he had a conversion experience and seemed to be doing everything right, and then the wheels fall off. After listening to this interview, Debi discusses Brian's situation (and those many who have similar stories) with the Reverend Bob Hiller of 1517's own the "Craft of Preaching" and "You Are Forgiven."
  8. It's all bread from heaven in this episode! Well, actually there is a massive detour in the wilderness of sin. Chad Bird and Daniel Emery Price end up all over the New Testament before bringing it all back around.
