In a special wintery edition of Higher Things Radio, Episode 15 opens with Pastor Borghardt singing “It’s beginning to look a lot like Advent…” Can you imagine, snow in beautiful Conroe, Texas? Without delay, Pastor Borghardt opens interviewing The Rev. William Cwirla of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Hacienda Heights, CA and the President of Higher Things. Pastor Cwirla sticking with the season will go through the Advent Hymnody of the Lutheran Service Book and discuss the beautiful theology represented by these hymns as they point to our Lord’s deliverance into human flesh for the salvation of mankind. After covering ALL of Pastor Cwirla’s favorite Advent hymns, Pastor Borghardt will call up The Rev. Joel Fritsche to talk about everybody’s favorite guy, John the Baptist. Make way for the Lord, as Pastor Fritsche will direct us to put our eyes on Jesus and He comes to us this Advent. Lastly in a strange twist of events, Pastor Borghardt will torture… errr, serenade one of his youth group members with a rendition of “Hark, the Glad Sound”. You’ll end this episode thinking how awesome Chris Loemker’s organ playing is and also wondering… Who is chuckles?
