1. 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.
  2. Today, on the Christian History Almanac, we remember a critical moment in 1520 on the road to the Reformation.
  3. In this episode of Tough Text, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price discuss the passage in Matthew 16 where Jesus rebukes Peter after Peter confesses that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.
  4. Today, in the Christian History Almanac, we revisit perhaps the “most interesting character” of 20th-century Church History.
  5. Today, on the Christian History Almanac, we remember a “visionary,” the trailblazing and tragic Bob Pierce.
  6. Today, on the Christian History Almanac, we answer a few questions about Messianic Judaism from a friend in Maine.
  7. On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the story of the rich young man.
  8. Today, on the Christian History Almanac, we tell the story of the first Bible printed in English (and it’s probably not the one you think).
  9. 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.
