426: Thielicke - The Alluring Miracle of Display

01/31/26

By Christopher Gillespie | Donavon Riley

Fight the Power! In this episode, we learn from pastor and theologian Helmut Thielecke about the gods we worship, the God that encounters us, and what technology actually does to us. What do Satan’s temptations teach us about Jesus, God’s Word, piety, and making sense of mystery? Is Christianity supposed to be a sensible religion? What kind of “opium” does the evil one offer us to lead us away from the Truth? What is distinctive about the worshippers of the God of power? What happens when technology becomes a means of power rather than merely a tool? What does God’s fight for the world look like, and how does it conclude?

They Call Me Rhetorical Working Man. In this episode, we discuss Luther‘s teaching on justification and vocation while reading James Nestingen’s essay on the same topic. We cover feudalism, the rise of capitalism, how the reformation took hold in the cities in Germany, the three estates, the two kingdoms, church life versus social life, and the consequences for Christians of not being grounded in faith and prayer as detailed by Luther, in particular, in his explanations to the petitions of the Lord Prayer.
