1. This week, Gillespie and Riley read from Dostoevsky's novel, The Idiot, and discuss the roots of the Roman Catholic church, atheism, socialism, and distinguishing between Christ and the Gospel and our own need to be God in God's place.
  2. This episode of the Thinking Fellows opens to the peasants revolt and the radical reform of Thomas Müntzer. To round out the show the Conversation moves to the Bondage of the Will and the begining of Luther’s family life.
  3. You say "Catholic" church, I say "Christian" church. This clause of the creed is sometimes changed in Protestant churches to keep people from being confused, but we think you can handle the original, rich meaning of the term instead of a sectarian interpretation. The Rev. Del Campbell, who could have filled two episodes with stories and anecdotes, joined the show to discuss the gospel hope found in this clause.
  4. On episode SEVENTY-FOUR of Let the Bird Fly! the guys are all back together for the first time in a long time.

  9. Welcome to Let the Bird Fly! a podcast about living freely in a world given back to us.
  10. On this episode of the Thinking Fellows, Dr. Jim Nestingen stops by to talk about Luther's book the Bondage of the Will. This episode is filled with profound wisdom, great stories, and a whole lot of fun. Sit back, relax, grab a drink, and enjoy the show.
  11. The Thinking Fellows discuss the human will and ask some important questions. What role does the will have in or on the Christian life? What does it mean for the will to be bound? And does the will have anything to do with faith or salvation? As usual, the Fellows look to Scripture and the teachings of the Lutheran Reformation for the answer. Sit back, relax, grab a drink, and enjoy the show.
