In the TWENTY-SIXTH episode in our Wingin' It series on the life of Martin Luther, Wade and Mike discuss the unwieldy nature of the Reformation (even in Luther's "hometown") and Luther's attempt to handle the challenges the arose from the various outgrowths of the Reformation.

Mike is joined by Rev. Greg Lyon once again, this time to discuss the role of Law & Gospel on a college campus and especially the relentless draw of the opinio legis. Rev. Lyon has the unique perspective of serving students on a college campus as their campus pastor. And yet despite the unique time in the lives of these young adults, it's no surprise that even here opinio legis rears its ugly and persistent head.

In the TWENTY-FIFTH episode in our Wingin' It series on the life of Martin Luther, Wade and Mike keep on with their discussion of the life of Luther. This time they are discussing Luther's time at the Wartburg castle, or should one say Junker Jörg's time at the Wartburg castle.
