Excursus on Baptism

Hello, my name is… Baptized Child of God. Pastor Brown takes the mic alone in this solo episode dealing with Baptism. He explains what happens in the sacrament (there’s certainly a lot going on beneath the surface!), and how the Word spoken over us at the font shapes our identity. It’s the culmination of the great rescue mission to pull you out of Satan’s kingdom, a work of Christ and not of yourself, and a great comfort that should give you confidence in your salvation.

Was it Ehud, in the Roof Chamber, with a Sword? How about Shamgar, in the Promised Land, with an Oxgoad? Or Jael, in the Tent, with a Tent Peg? In this episode of Gospeled Boldly, Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke start to get the clue that Judges is not a book for the faint of heart! They finish the story of Ehud, then learn what happens when a prophetess promises the glory of victory will go to a woman, rather than the war leader.

In the Backwards Life segment, Thomas asks for Pastor Brown’s thoughts on New Year’s Resolutions (and should we “claim this year for blessings” in the name of Christ?).

Judges 1:27-3:23

Mommy, where do Judges come from? In this episode Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke continue through the text, which addresses how and why God placed the Judges in Israel’s midst. We also get our first two judges – Othniel and Ehud, ancient action heroes par excellence.

In the Backwards Life segment, Pastor gives his thoughts as to whether it’s “pagan” to celebrate birthdays (even Christmas?!) as some evangelicals have been known to claim.

John 21:1-25

The apostles are a bit adrift after the Resurrection … literally. Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke talk about their post-resurrection fishing trip, and reaction to seeing the Lord again, in this episode. Far from being “cast out”, Peter is restored as a fisher of men, and Jesus tells him that he will follow him for the rest of his life – unto death. As for John, well, what is that to you?

In the Backwards Life, Thomas asks Pastor to expound on the scriptural command that fathers not exasperate their children.

John 20:19-31

Is John cantankerous? That’s one of several theories put forth by Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke as they discuss Jesus’ appearances before the disciples, Thomas the apostle’s skeptical challenge, and the “ending” to John’s gospel (…or is it?). They also engage in some pious speculation on the state of resurrected bodies overall.

In the Backwards Life, they discuss the 8th Commandment.

The strange feeling of being excited about the Crucifixion afflicts Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas in this episode.

Also, they host the first ever Gospeled Boldly Fashion show!
