1. In episode TWO HUNDRED AND THREE, Mike, Wade, and Jason continue their discussion of Helmut Thielicke’s A Little Exercise for Young Theologians. The guys think the book is worth reading, not only for young theologians, but all theologians, laity and the ordained.
  2. What if God doesn’t hear me? The doubts and fears that lurk beneath our faith can rise up and speak to us in our worst times of struggle. Colin Heinrich sings “When Hope Disappears".
  3. Fear and great joy at Jesus' resurrection! But also rejection and refusal.
  4. The Thinking Fellows make a case for reading old books.
  5. We asked Chad Bird about what it means to wrestle with God. Later this summer, he's coming out with his book on Jacob: "Limping with God." Our discussion went from Jacob being renamed to "Israel" which means "wrestles with God" and how wrestling with God was a keyhole to the crucifixion.
  6. We get to hear about the parable of the sower in this episode, as we continue to talk to Daniel Emery Price and Erick Sorensen about their book "Scandalous Stories: a Sort of Commentary on the Parables."
  7. We are discussing "I can do all things through Christ" in context of the rest of the passage, and then we discuss the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac (rather... not sacrificing him) and whether or not Christians are called to sacrifice. Is that what this passage is talking about?
  8. Jesus came not only for the sheep, but apparently for the dogs as well. You won't believe what happens when she asks for a favor.
