1. C’mon. Free choice? It’s a thought we’ve all had. Gillespie and Riley discuss why free choice is nothing in relation to God and Satan. Why do we insist on participating in our salvation? What’s our end game in arguments for choice? How do we play fast and loose with the Bible to get us there?
  2. On this day, we observe the feast of Clement of Rome, who died on around this day in 99 AD. We remember the Mexican Jesuit Catholic priest Miguel Pro, executed on this day in 1927. The reading is "Fair Shepherd" by Dorothy Sayers.
  3. Chad and Daniel spend quite a bit of time discussing violence and death in the Bible. Five kings are trapped in a cave and Israel is winning battle after battle.
  4. Paul wraps up his “missionary support letter” by seeking support for the church around the known world in both spiritual and physical ways. A lot of names are mentioned--some we know, some we don’t--but God has used them all.
  5. On this day, we remember the father of liberal theology, Friederich Schleiermacher, and French priest Jean Baptiste Henri Lacordaire. The reading is a quote from Brennan Manning.
  6. Welcome to Christianity on Trial, where the claims of Christianity are examined and judged by the rules of evidence as used in the court of law. Your host, Dr. John Warwick Montgomery, is a lawyer, a theologian, an author, and an accomplished defender of biblical Christianity. He is no stranger to the rules of evidence or the courtroom. So with our skeptical world for the prosecution and Dr. John Warwick Montgomery for the defense, stay with us as we listen in on Christianity on Trial.
  7. But,  what about the reality we left behind? Gillespie and Riley discuss original sin and free choice as they continue to read Martin Luther's treatise on "The Bondage of The Will." In this episode, free choice, grace, and Paul paint old Adam into a corner.
  8. On this day, we remember English church musician Thomas Tallis and notable American Baptist preacher Isaac Backus. The reading is "The Sacrifice of Isaac" by D. S. Martin.
  9. A paralytic is lowered through a roof, sins are absolved, an unlikely person is called to follow Jesus and Jesus gets in trouble for partying with sinners.
  10. On this episode, the Fellows have a conversation about historical methodology and why it is important for the practice of theology but also daily life. Sit back, relax, grab a drink, and enjoy the show.
  11. On this day, we remember Elizabeth of Hungary and Billy Sunday. The reading is "It Is Well With My Soul" by Horatio Spafford.
