  4. A song is sung by Deborah to cement what God has done in the history of Israel. Why does this song and others have an address to enemies? Why is God’s interaction with creation so personal?
  5. They’re just psalms! It’s OK to pray them! They’re psalms! Gillespie and Riley take a listener request. They read and discuss the collects of Thomas Cranmer. Why pray? What should be the content and focus of prayer? How does old Adam fight against God’s Word when the new man prays?
  6. Must... continue... thinking... in... ways... that... lead... to... dying... with... meaning. Gillespie and Riley finish their reading and discussion of Viktor Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning. How has Frankl's book changed the way people discuss identity and meaning? How has this influenced the Church?
