1. We recently had the chance to meet in person with our podcast producer: Caleb Keith, and so we took the opportunity to have a conversation with him about catechizing children. In other words: what do you want your kids to know about God before they grow up and leave the home?
  2. The culmination of our episodes on ontology and time is declaring that you are free to be.
  3. In this episode, Dr. Paulson asks the question why does God give us time?
  4. Jim Nestingen and Steve Paulson join Caleb and Scott to discuss the Smalcald Articles.
  5. Continuing on our baptism discussion, and the power of God's Word, through physical means, Katie and Gretchen walk through their catechisms and think about the common struggles with the doctrine of baptism.
  6. Dr. Paulson talks about the importance of distinguishing between Law and Gospel.
  7. Mike is joined by Rev. Greg Lyon once again, this time to discuss the role of Law & Gospel on a college campus and especially the relentless draw of the opinio legis. Rev. Lyon has the unique perspective of serving students on a college campus as their campus pastor. And yet despite the unique time in the lives of these young adults, it's no surprise that even here opinio legis rears its ugly and persistent head.
  8. Caleb, Scott, and Rod go through the Christian Questions and Answers section of the Small Catechism.
  9. Dr. Paulson begins to introduce Thomas Aquinas and how he crafts a story of the Law. Dr. Paulson then talks about how myth, story, and life revolve around law.
  10. Gretchen and Katie wrap up their conversation on parenting, otherwise known as "calling a thing what it is." They talk about confession and absolution in the home and standing back when we try to take over the Holy Spirit's role.
