1. The Thinking Fellows are joined by Stephen Pietsch for a live recording in Bergen Norway.
  2. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! We live in a world full of guilt and accusations. If you are covered with Christ's righteousness, then you have His righteousness in and for you and you cannot be condemned. Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more in Romans 8. Live by grace and not by the law.
  3. Daniel and Erick start Paul’s letter to the Philippians in this episode. To live is Christ, to die is gain, and some suffering is a gift.
  4. Sometimes life is hard and seems unbearable. How could someone actually rejoice in suffering?    The Apostle Paul writes to us in Romans 5:3 "...we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Join Craig and Troy as they talk about suffering and character.   
  5. Daniel and Erick wrap up the 1 Peter in this episode. There is some discussion about ecclesiology and why Peter calls himself an elder.
  6. Mike is joined for the first time in a long time by Wade (it's not clear how Mike feels about this). The two sit down in the middle of summer 2019 to discuss the importance of reading widely for both the laity and for pastors.
  7. On the 489th anniversary of the Augsburg confession, the Fellows ask the question, does the Church still stand or fall on justification?
  8. Peter gives some examples of how to keep our conduct “honorable” before other people.
  9. On this episode Wade and Dr. Keith square off over two influential characters in the early Reformation: Philip Melanchthon and Matthias Flacius Illyricus.
  10. The series on the history of the Reformation comes to an end with a recap on the Formula of Concord and the beginnings of the Thirty Years War.
  11. This episode of the Thinking Fellows focuses on the second generation of Lutheran reformers.
  12. Between the years 1550 and 1560 the giants of the Reformation are dying. The Fellows discuss the political and theological turmoil that occurred as a result of the Smalcald war.
