  2. Am I Evil? In this episode, we continue to read and discuss Simone Weil on Evil. Violence, suffering, and justice. What part does human evil play in Jesus’ sacrificial death?
  3. Mike and Wade discuss how doctrine and practice shape how churches worship.
  4. Wade and Mike welcome Dr. Andrew Schmiege making it a three Michigander episode. Dr. Schmiege teaches Spanish at Wisconsin Lutheran College. A true renaissance man, Dr. Schmiege, interests are wide as shown in his dissertation topic which dealt with Christian and Islamic polemics in early modern Spain.
  5. Wade and Mike sit down with Rev. Dr. Paul Lehninger of Wisconsin Lutheran College to discuss the work of author Colin Woodard. Woodard believes that there are eleven distinct nations which comprise the United States (and Canada and Northern Mexico).

  7. Wade and Mike take a look at Tom Nichols’ book The Death of Expertise: The Campaign against Established Knowledge and Why It Matters. Nichols makes the case that ignorance may be the biggest threat to a democratic republic.
  8. Mike and Wade welcome back Rev. Dr. Phil Huebner from Wisconsin Lutheran High School in Milwaukee, WI to continue their discussion on children in church. This is the topic of Rev. Dr. Huebner's dissertation, which is entitled “What to Do with Children in Church? A Study on Helping Parents Engage Their Children in Worship.”

  10. On episode ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO Mike and Wade are joined once again by Dr. Kerry Kuehn, who was a guest very early on (before he realized what this podcast was all about). We are fortunate to have duped him into joining us again (probably because Mike has since joined the podcast and brought some level of respectability to it).
