1. On this day, we remember arguably the worst pope of the Reformation era, Pope Clement VII. And we remember the Peace of Augsburg which was made law in 1555. The reading is "To Church" by R.S. Thomas.
  2. Daniel and Erick wrap up Paul’s letter to the Philippians. He can “do all things through Christ”, what does that statement mean for him and us?
  3. How do you know you are truly repentant? Does your life have to be wrecked by some special sin before you know the Gospel?
  4. Craig and Troy wrestle with the same issue Paul is wrestling through: Wanting our friends and family to be saved and knowing that salvation must come through Christ. As the Prodigal Son believed in his father’s goodness and returned, so too will God restore and graft in all who believe—both Jew and Gentile alike—in His Son Jesus Christ.
  5. On this day, we remember two rascals of the Reformation era, Albert of Brandenburg and Paracelsus. The reading is "Lord I'm Afraid" by Paul Verlaine.
  6. Today, we remember Padre Pio, who died on this day in 1968. We also remember obscure American figure William McGuffey, born on this day in 1800. The reading is "Christ" by Fazıl Hüsnü Dağlarca.
  7. On this day, we remember Otto of Freising, German churchman and chronicler, and Johann Agricola, a controversial student of Luther. The reading is "To Thee Oh Lord I Send my Cries" by Agricola.
  8. On this day, we celebrate the feast of St. Matthew the Evangelist and the birthday of Girolamo Savonarola, Renaissance friar, and preacher, who declared Florence "the New Jerusalem." The reading is "The Carpenter's Son" by A.E. Housman.
  9. Despite all my rage, I’m still just a baptized sinner in a cage. Gillespie and Riley respond to a listener request about The Pilgrim’s Progress. This week, we go back to the Interpreter’s House to see about a man in a cage—the Bible, Jesus, and the problem with cages.
  10. Joshua decides to send out spies and we are introduced to a prostitute named Rahab.
  11. Craig and Troy talk quite a bit about grace. God always keeps (and always has kept) for Himself a remnant chosen by grace. This is good news for we are not left alone in this world without other believers to encourage and strengthen our faith.
