1. Mike sits down with Wade to discuss Wade's new book, Let the Bird Fly: Life in a World Given Back to Us. Before letting Wade talk about his book, though, the guys discuss their favorite thing in their office, as well as something they'd like to have in their office.
  2. Wade and Mike welcome back Dr. Martin Moldenhauer to discuss Mark Twain. Before getting to the main topic, the guys discuss the one publication that they would subscribe to if they could only get one publication. A big thanks to Dr. Moldenhauer for joining us on this episode.
  3. Mike and Wade are joined in the studio by Dr. Rebecca Parker Fedewa, who is an English professor at Wisconsin Lutheran College. Dr. Parker Fedewa's dissertation focused on Elizabeth Gaskell, so the guys figured she couldn't say "no" if they asked her on to discuss Gaskell....and they were right (but just barely).
  4. In this episode as Gretchen and Katie pause to answer a few questions from listeners.
  5. God will forever be man. While you think about that, take a listen to our recent episode on the elevation of human beings on Christmas, Mary’s unique role, and ministering to public servants unable to be home for Christmas.
  6. Walking on water is what we need. Jesus does it. We got baptism. Float through it all as the Modest Mouse song says!
  7. God Bless the pandemic! Unfortunately, no one is going to learn from it. The preachers tackle issues others are afraid to even speak out loud! This time - Aliens! Do they exist and if so, would you baptize one?
  8. Is man essentially good? Most people think so despite the evidence. Since pot is now essentially legal - is it good? ok? What do you tell Johnny?
