  1. My nonfiction reads took me into Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, and various varieties of Protestantism. Some of my favorites didn’t fall into neat and tidy categories, such as Jordan Peterson and Richard Selzer. It was difficult to narrow the list down, but here are my 12 1/2 favorites of the year.
  2. Consolation is the breath of life filling our lungs, hearts, and minds with the fresh, incorruptible air of the new creation.
  3. It is only when individuals are bound together in community that they become fully human.
  4. Here is a lament I’ve written especially for victims of hurricanes. May it be for you, for your family, or for your church, a way to put into prayer the anguish of your souls.

  6. One sermon, maximum effort! This week, Gillespie and Riley discuss a sermon by George Whitefield, who defends his theology against the attacks of an “old light.”

  9. No, boys. There's two "O"s in Goose. In this episode, Gillespie and Riley dive into another letter from John Hus. This week, they take a critical look at Hus and discuss the influence of traditional Roman doctrine on Hus’ calls for reform.
  10. With this collar on, my superpower is just unbridled preaching! Pastors Gillespie and Riley read a letter from John Huss to John Barbatus about the biblical teaching on who can (and cannot) preach.
  11. Wait, no, stop! Riley and Gillespie wrap up their conversation about Robert Capon's "The Astonished Heart" No really, this is it.
