    Watch Me Work. In this episode, we continue our discussion of justification and vocation as we read "Justification, Vocation, and Location in Luther's Reformation" by James A. Nestigen. Part two of our conversation continues with themes of vocation, location, repentance, humility, personal agency, divine instrumentality, atonement, the relationship of husband and wife to the land, the overlap of heaven and earth, and what to do when we feel like we’ve made a complete mess of our lives.

    They Call Me Rhetorical Working Man. In this episode, we discuss Luther‘s teaching on justification and vocation while reading James Nestingen’s essay on the same topic. We cover feudalism, the rise of capitalism, how the reformation took hold in the cities in Germany, the three estates, the two kingdoms, church life versus social life, and the consequences for Christians of not being grounded in faith and prayer as detailed by Luther, in particular, in his explanations to the petitions of the Lord Prayer.
