1. On this day, we remember John Greenleaf Whittier and Pope Francis. The reading is "It is As If Infancy were the Whole of Incarnation" by Lucy Shaw.
  2. Jesus is enemies with death and John the Baptist is the greatest man who ever lived... except for the least in God's kingdom.
  3. On this day, we recognize the feast of the prophet Haggai. We remember missionary to India, Amy Carmichael. The reading is "Christ's Nativity" by Henry Vaughn.
  4. I’m sorry, but your opinion means very little to me. Gillespie and Riley start to wrap up their reading of Martin Luther’s Bondage of The Will with a discussion of the Bible’s clarity and why personal feelings and our need to find meaning in everything can hijack God’s Word.
  5. On this day, we remember Oral Roberts and John Oldcastle. The reading is "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" by Charles Wesley.
  6. On this day, we remember St. John of the Cross and the opening of Illinois Institute/Wheaton. The reading is "At Bethlehem" by Richard Crashaw.
  7. There is a lot about Caleb in this episode. He is older but no less ready to take the land God has promised them.
  8. On this day, we remember Phillip Brooks and celebrate St. Lucy's Day. The reading is the carol "O Little Town of Bethlehem" by Brooks.
  9. On this day, we remember both the enactment of the Virginia Sabbath Laws in 1712 and the establishment of the American Sabbath Union in 1888. The reading is from "Messiah" by Alexander Pope.
  10. Judge not, build your house on the rock and bear some good fruit.
  11. On this day, we remember St. Damasus and Greg Bahnsen. The reading is "The Stable" by Sister M. Chrysostom.
  12. What about the reality we left behind? Gillespie and Riley wrap up (but, not really) their series on Martin Luther's treatise on The Bondage of the Will. This episode, Erasmus and Luther butt heads about how to interpret Scripture. Luther lays out how he interprets Scripture, which will form the rest of his argument about the relation (or lack thereof) between free choice and salvation.
