Acts 1:1-26

Call It In The Air

Heads you’re an Apostle; Tails… tough luck bro. In this Episode, Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke begin the book of Acts, first by discussing the Apostles’ turkey-like behavior after the ascension, and then by examining how Judas’ replacement Apostle is selected. Later in the show they distinguish between Apostles and Pastors and talk about the qualifications for both.

In the Backwards Life, Thomas asks Pastor to comment on government persecution of Christians.

Judges 19:16-21:25

Son of My Left Hand

Cut his concubine into pieces, this was his last resort… In this episode, Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke finish the book of Judges. And the Israelites almost finish off the tribe of Benjamin while they’re at it. Good news – they left a remnant! Bad news – now they need wives.

In the Backwards life, Thomas asks Pastor to talk about the phrase, “Let go and let God.”

Episode 76: The Forsaken God

Post author By Rev. Christopher Gillespie
Post date June 21, 2017

This week, Pastor Riley and Kate examine the meaning of Christ’s two natures in His sacrifice for us on the cross. The witnesses who mocked Jesus on the cross and told him to save himself provide the question: If Jesus is God, why does he suffer and die on that cross? Gods don’t suffer, gods don’t die. Therefore for sinful humans, there are only two options. Either Jesus is not really God and therefore could suffer and die, or Jesus is truly God, and he only hung on the cross in a ghostly spirit form. Of course, our salvation hinges on the truth that Jesus is truly both God and man, and that he made himself lower than the Father when he took on human flesh and humbled himself to die on a cross, as Paul says in Phillipians 2.

Hide Yo’ Priests, Hide Yo’ Idols

It’d be a shame if Micah were to have an… accident. In this episode, Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke discuss the Dan-ish mafia, and their quest for other folks’ stuff. Then, it’s on to a discussion about a concubine and her husband, who seem like very nice people. Or something.

In the Backwards Life, Thomas asks Pastor to talk about doubts in the faith.

Episode 75: Gnosticism

Post author By Rev. Christopher Gillespie
Post date June 14, 2017

This week, the Pastor Riley and Kate discuss the philosophical worldview of Gnosticism. This false teaching is not simply an early Church heresy. It is a philosophy that existed prior to establishment of the early Church in the first century, and was used by heretics to distort the teachings of the Church. Like other heresies and false teachings that the early Church encountered, Gnosticism continues to plague Christianity today in one way or another.

Episode 74: Water, Blood, and Spirit Crying

Post author By Rev. Christopher Gillespie
Post date June 6, 2017

This week, the pastors and Kate discuss the wonderful hymn Water, Blood, and Spirit Crying, LSB 597. This beautiful hymn encapsulates the Christian’s life. The emphasis is only and always on Christ. The waters of Baptism, the Blood of the Sacrament, the Holy Spirit Himself all point to Jesus, our life. The sinner dies in baptism to be raised to new life in Christ, the Body and Blood of our Savior gives us life anew every Sunday and keeps us steadfast in the faith all our lives, and the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts, forever keeping us one with Christ. This hymn never mentions our own poor works or desires, but properly demonstrates that the Christian life is a life won by Christ and given by the Holy Spirit.

GB 049: Judges 14:1-16:14

How The West Was Nuts

The Judge went down to Timnah, he was lookin’ for a girl to steal; he drug his parents along ‘cause he was too headstrong and he was willin’ to make a deal. In this episode, Pastor Eric Brown and Thomas Lemke venture through the show “Judges Gone Wild,” er, the life of Samson. It’s got everything: bad riddles, post-mortem donkey mandible wielding contests, foxes… on FIRE! And more besides.

In the Backwards Life, Thomas asks Pastor why we can have wine when Sampson can’t (even if he constantly behaves as if he’s had too much).
