1. Scott and Caleb Keith take this time to update listeners of the Thinking Fellows and ask for their support.
  2. The Thinking Fellows sit down with Dave Zahl to talk about his new book.
  3. Sane People Would Pay Top Dollar for This Kind of Podcast. Gillespie, Riley, and special guest Chad Bird read from his book, "Your God is Too Glorious." They then discuss baptism, suffering, and vocation.
  4. In this episode, the Thinking Fellows try to navigate the theological and philosophical problems of secular doomsaying.
  5. Daniel and Erick start Paul’s letter to the Philippians in this episode. To live is Christ, to die is gain, and some suffering is a gift.
  6. Sometimes life is hard and seems unbearable. How could someone actually rejoice in suffering?    The Apostle Paul writes to us in Romans 5:3 "...we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Join Craig and Troy as they talk about suffering and character.   
  7. Daniel and Erick wrap up the 1 Peter in this episode. There is some discussion about ecclesiology and why Peter calls himself an elder.
  8. Dan talks about the second half of the 20th century and how it has led to the current cloudy question of where Christianity is headed.
  9. Peter gives some examples of how to keep our conduct “honorable” before other people.
  10. On episode ONE HUNDRED (they finally did it) of Let the Bird Fly! the guys sit down (sans Ben despite their best efforts to get him there) to discuss the commencement address This is Water by David Foster Wallace.
  11. Wade hijacks the podcast and forces Mike and Peter to discuss the commodification of people.
  12. Paul says that all his suffering doesn’t compare with the glory that is coming. How is this an encouragement to us?
