1. This is the first of our monthly BONUS episodes for our Freely Given book club. Gretchen Ronnevik and Katie Koplin are discussing the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis this month.
  2. Does God Care Whether We’re Good or Bad? We conclude our discussion of Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. If Christians live in enemy territory, as Lewis writes, how does that affect the defense of our faith? Do we have free will, and why would God give us free will if he knew we’d eat from Eden’s tree? What does conscience have to do with our relationship with God and one another?
  3. We continue our conversation with Nancy Guthrie and how life changing it can be to find Christ in the Old Testament--and not just in the prophecies. It's transformative, and as she would say, there's nothing more practical.
  4. Today on the Almanac, we tell the story of the saint to whom you might ask for help finding your missing keys.
  5. In this episode of the Christian History Almanac, "William Cowper: A Man Between Mercy and Judgement."
  6. חלל - For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts. But you profane it when you say that the Lord's table is polluted, and its fruit, that is, its food may be despised. MALACHI 1:11–12
  7. Today on the Almanac, we tell the story of the scandalous Caspar Schwenkfeld.
  8. We remember the year 2007 and the death of theologian John Macquarrie. The reading is a quote from Macquarrie.
  9. On this day, we remember Gregory the Great, d. 604, and Paul Gerhardt, b. 1607. The reading is Gerhardt's "O Sacred Head Now Wounded."
  10. On this we remember, Antonie Arnauld, born in 1612, and George Tyrell, born in 1841. The reading is from A.J.M. Smith, "Beside One Dead."
  11. God explains that He has humbled Israel for their own good. How should we view the discipline of God? What does it mean that man cannot live by bread alone?
  12. Chad and Daniel continue in Exodus and talk about the honest and somewhat shocking way Moses and other figures in scripture talk to God
