19: Christ and the Word with Marc Lienhard

Not every Lutheran writer worth reading is well known, especially a French Lutheran (no offense). Pr. Riley and Pr. Gillespie dig deep into an exhaustive treatment of Luther’s Christology.

A Pox on Your House – Gospeled Boldly #79

The Levitical/Aaronic priesthood biffs it again! In this episode, Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke read about the worthless sons of Eli. Some high priests—they take the flesh of the sacrifice that belongs to God from the people and give it to themselves to eat. How would those ancient Israelites have rejoiced to know that the Priest to come after would take God’s flesh as a sacrifice from himself and give it to the people to eat? Strange things are happening in Shiloh! How will God deal with this mess?

In the Backwards Life, Pastor Brown talks about the concept of a Christian’s “testimony.”

This episode covers 1 Samuel 2:12-36.

Eating for Two – Gospeled Boldly #78

Shiloh = Sin City? In this episode, Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke read about Elkanah’s yearly trips to the Tabernacle, and the strife between his two (count ‘em, two) wives. The one, Hannah, prays for a kiddo and is granted her request. Then she has to drop her tot at one heck of a daycare, but in the bittersweetness of that moment comes a most devout song.

In the Backwards Life, Pastor Brown talks about polygamy in the ancient world.

This episode covers 1 Samuel 1:1-2:11.

Friends, Romans, and Countrymen – Gospeled Boldly #77

In which we reach the end of the book of Acts. In this Episode, Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke read as Paul gets a little help from his new buddies on Malta. Then, he is delivered to Rome, where he gets to meet the believers who received his earlier letter. And to round it all off, he hosts a meeting with the movers and shakers of the Jews to preach the Gospel to his kin, and to let them know that the Kingdom of God has come even to the gentiles—with or without their permission. Also, sections from Eusebius on what happened to Paul after the end of Acts, and a teaser on where we are going next: 1st Samuel!

In the Backwards Life, Pastor Brown talks about how Christians should approach our own eventual (even impending) deaths.

This episode covers Acts 28:7-31.

Into the ocean – Gospeled Boldly #76

When soldiers and sailors want to swim away but don’t know how, flotsam junk will do just fine. In this episode, Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke read as Paul sets sail along the Mediterranean coastline. That is, until an impatient decision results in the ship getting blown off course, leaving the crew with naught but envy for the solid ground. Then, after making landfall on the island Sam Spade wishes he never heard of, Paul shakes off a viper like it’s nothing, prompting the locals to ask – how can one man stop his ending?

In the Backwards Life, Pastor talks about the place of boycotts for those who want something they oppose to come down.

This episode covers Acts 27:1-28:6.

Pomp and Circumstance – Gospeled Boldly #75

Wait… Bernice was Agrippa’s sister? In this episode, Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke read about Paul’s verbal defense before Herod Agrippa II. Paul, ever winsome and factual, doesn’t fail to please. But, since he’s already appealed to Caesar, no amount of sympathy from Agrippa can undo what’s been set in motion. For better or worse: Paul is going to Rome.

In the Backwards Life, Thomas asks Pastor to expound on the sentiment of “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.”

This episode covers Acts 25:13-26:32.

I’m Only Human – Gospeled Boldly #45

In this “lost episode” (so called because Thomas’ audio is horribly botched, so the episode never came out – until now) Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke finish the story of Gideon.

In the Backwards Life, Thomas asks Pastor to talk about how people in the pews should react when those of the clergy have disagreements amongst themselves.

This episode covers Judges 8:1-35.
