  5. In this episode, we discuss spiritual warfare and its effects on clergy and laity alike.

  8. What does it mean that we are saved by grace alone?
  9. You can call me any day or night. Call me! In this episode, we read Martin Luther’s verbosely titled treatise, “That a Christian Assembly or Congregation has the Right and Power to Judge all Teaching and to Call, Appoint, and Dismiss Teachers, Established and Proven by Scripture." We discuss ordination, church authority, the doctrine of the pastoral call, and much more.
  10. 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?
  11. In episode TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVEN, Wade and Jason discuss prayer, especially in light of Luther’s Small Catechism.
