Ministry of the Church (1636)
  1. On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson continue their discussion of Christ's preaching in John during Holy Week.
  2. Come Together, Right Now… In this episode, we read from Tim Keller’s sermon, which asks, “What is the Church?” We discuss the relationship between churches and culture, what the church is and isn’t, where we locate faith, whether Christian faith changes one’s values, and much more.
  3. “The fear of the Lord” is our heart’s awakening to and recognition of God’s outrageous goodness.
  4. The Fellows continue their conversation about Lutheran identity. This time, they discuss the term "evangelical."
  5. We needn’t fear statistics and studies as palm readings into a certain future. God is God, and his Spirit is alive through his Word.
  6. Jared C. Wilson joins Kelsi to chat about his latest book, ⁠Lest We Drift: Five Departure Dangers from the One True Gospel⁠.
  7. While I disagree with many things Francis did and believed, I think he deserves credit for this: Francis showed us what Christian leadership can look like.
  8. Dave weaves together music, movies, and documentaries to illustrate all the ways we seek relief—and then, full and free, he connects our need to Christ’s gift.
  9. In this episode of the Thinking Fellows podcast, Caleb Keith, Adam Francisco, Bruce Hillman, and Scott Keith engage discuss an ongoing identity crisis within Lutheranism.
  10. Can’t You See. In this episode, we read the Lutheran theologian Matthias Flacius, and discuss inter-church debates, the Lord’s Supper as ground zero for most church conflicts, the consequences of compromise in matters of faith, the limits of love, and when it’s time to push away from the table and go into prayer.
  11. Kick Out the Jams. In this episode, we focus on the raw, real work of life in the parish—the ordinary burdens, the hidden insecurities, and the quiet faith that holds it all together. We explore the distinction between philosophy and theology and why attempts to fuse them often leave both diminished. There’s talk of reformation—its drama, its necessity, and its cost. We reflect on the pervasive victim-perpetrator dynamic that shapes so much of modern life and how the gospel when rightly preached, breaks that cycle. At the heart of it all is this: the power of Christ’s mercy to open what we’ve shut tight, to drive out the bitterness we’ve made into habit, and to speak a word stronger than shame.
