1. We are excited to have one of Gretchen's pastors, Rev. Dale Hexum, on this episode to talk more about sermons. We ask him about the preaching philosophy he works within, and what to look for in a sermon.
  2. Go Big or Go & Go Home. In this episode, we continue to read Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents by Rod Dreher, and discuss the importance of nurturing a dissident faith and family in the midst of a godless, unrepentantly evil society.
  3. We kept Rev. Tim Koch on for one more episode, as we expand the conversation from "what makes a sermon" from last week, to some of the struggles with both pastors and parishioners.
  4. It’s Good to Be a Weird Family. In this episode, we continue our discussion about the Benda family in Live Not by Lies. Why is it important to raise weird children? What is the long-term impact of raising children to be Christian dissidents? How can we strengthen children to withstand worldly pressures to conform to normalcy?
  5. In this episode, Paulson explains how Luther continues to reach out to Erasmus with demonstrations from classical antiquity.
  6. In a world where sermons can be downloaded from any church at the touch of a button, it's easy to follow "celebrity pastors" pastors who are outside your denomination, pastors who don't even know you.
