1. In this episode, we interview one of our favorite people: Kelsi Klembara, editor of the 1517 website. Kelsi has done a lot of research on the topic of assurance of our salvation from both a theological and historical point of view, and we had some questions for her.
  2. Sow, Jesus seeds a parable and a pun, and lettuce understand. But when the corn grows, what ears hear and what ears don't?
  3. We finish up our conversation with Heidi Goehmann on the relationship between mental health and theology.
  4. This episode extends further into questions about certainty and evil. Dr. Paulson discusses the concept of "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
  5. It has been 1 year since Katie and Gretchen started the Freely Given podcast.
  6. What does the Prince of Peace mean when He says, "I've come not to bring peace, but a sword?" In sending out The Twelve, Jesus reminds us all of just Who is our very identity.
  7. Jesus uses a lot of animal metaphors in order to instruct His disciples in how to interact with the world.
  8. Jesus sends out His Twelve Sent-Ones on their first mission. Why does He give them the instructions that He gives . . . and what's up with the staff?
  9. Caleb and Scott read and discuss the first three articles of the Augsburg Confession and the Apology.
  10. "Your faith has made you well" . . . except faith never believes in itself, but trusts only in its object, namely Jesus.
  11. It's Gretchen's turn to talk about books that have been influential on her life.
