1. On this day, we observe the feast of Clement of Rome, who died on around this day in 99 AD. We remember the Mexican Jesuit Catholic priest Miguel Pro, executed on this day in 1927. The reading is "Fair Shepherd" by Dorothy Sayers.
  2. Paul wraps up his “missionary support letter” by seeking support for the church around the known world in both spiritual and physical ways. A lot of names are mentioned--some we know, some we don’t--but God has used them all.
  3. On this day, we remember the father of liberal theology, Friederich Schleiermacher, and French priest Jean Baptiste Henri Lacordaire. The reading is a quote from Brennan Manning.
  4. But,  what about the reality we left behind? Gillespie and Riley discuss original sin and free choice as they continue to read Martin Luther's treatise on "The Bondage of The Will." In this episode, free choice, grace, and Paul paint old Adam into a corner.
  5. On this day, we remember English church musician Thomas Tallis and notable American Baptist preacher Isaac Backus. The reading is "The Sacrifice of Isaac" by D. S. Martin.
  6. On this episode, the Fellows have a conversation about historical methodology and why it is important for the practice of theology but also daily life. Sit back, relax, grab a drink, and enjoy the show.
  7. On this day, we remember Elizabeth of Hungary and Billy Sunday. The reading is "It Is Well With My Soul" by Horatio Spafford.
  8. On this day, we remember the consecration of the old and new St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and the papal bull "Unam Sanctum" of 1302. The reading is "Christians and Others" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
  9. On this day, we remember two influential, esoteric, and controversial figures: Jakob Boehme (d. 1624) and Charles H. Mason (d. 1961). The reading is "Jesus was A Healer" by Les Murray.
  10. Oh, wow... that's an intense line of questioning. Gillespie and Riley discuss the vital distinction between the righteousness of works and faith in Martin Luther's "The Bondage of The Will." In this episode, it's Abraham, Paul, and the destruction of all our good and virtuous works.
  11. It is an honor to be a proclaimer of the Gospel, and we have much to be proud of in Christ who empties us of our sins and fills us with His grace.
