1. An Arm-Twisting Confession. In this episode, we read Martin Luther’s Smalcald Articles on the gospel, baptism, and the Lord’s Supper. Why did he have to have “his arm twisted” to write them? What is he trying to teach the churches about the gospel? How does the gospel circumscribe and define the Church, worship, and Christian life? Why does something written in the 1530s matter today? We look to answer all these questions and more on this episode of the Banned Books podcast.
  2. Peter enters into a discussion that doesn't tickle our ears very well, but it still a plain fact of the Christian's life: we will suffer on account of Christ.
  3. God never fails, and His great love is FOR US, not against us.
  4. On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the sending of the seventy-two preachers.
  5. All That and A Bag of Chips. In this episode, we return to Steven Paulson’s book, The Outlaw God. We discuss law and Gospel, why God sends a preacher, why we hate Christ preached, and what therapy can do for the walking dead.
  6. Jared C. Wilson joins Kelsi to chat about his latest book, ⁠Lest We Drift: Five Departure Dangers from the One True Gospel⁠.
  7. Is the Gospel just a feeling of relief?
  8. Today on the Christian History Almanac, we wish a happy birthday to the “Godfather of Gospel Music."
  9. As we move towards the end of the Song of Songs, once again we are confronted with the depths and riches of God's perfect love for us.
  10. "Better than I deserve" is a statement rich with meaning for those of us who have heard the good news and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ.
  11. That we are the "bride of Christ", this thought can get us confused and uneasy, as in "why would He want to have anything to do with me?"
  12. We live in a world that has so grossly perverted the idea of love, so its easy to avoid thinking about God's love for us, because that could be a little gross and uncomfortable.
