1. Today on the Almanac: The Fire of Rome and the Beginning of Christian Persecution.
  2. It’s For Your Own Good. We conclude our reading and discussion of Dostoevsky’s, The Grand Inquisitor. What are we willing to sacrifice to accept the devil’s offer of miracles, mystery, and authority? Why do we surrender to temptation, and what do we expect are the consequences? What can we learn from Jesus’ rejection of the devil’s temptations, and what does that mean for Christians today?
  3. Pain and suffering; it can feel like punishment from an angry God, and we try to figure out the cause, to our own frustration.
  4. Fear and great joy at Jesus' resurrection! But also rejection and refusal.
  5. In this episode with Mike Cosper, we talk about grace and virtue. How do we "pursue virtue" and not let go of grace? We discuss the difference between self introspection by checking our own fruit, and confessing our sins.
  6. Today on the Almanac, we remember Claude Fleury and his role in both educational reform and church history.
  7. Caleb, Scott, and Adam are joined by Chad Bird to discuss why you should read the Old Testament.
  8. Today on the Almanac, we reflect on the life of Joy Davidman.
