Riley and Gillespie continue their conversation on moderation in public dialogue, the wrath of God, our passions, and not succumbing to media propaganda.
You Can’t Get Right if You Can’t Relate...
Much too little has been done either to articulate or to augment the kind of "pastoral care" that equips Christian citizens to demonstrate care for the world in their daily vocation.
Riley and Gillespie take a break from the usual format to consider how our nation quickly forgot COVID-19 in the wake of the death of George Floyd. We seek to better understand what is happening regarding the protests and rioting, how it affects the Church, and how Christians might respond.
The show is about nothing! Gillespie and Riley read nothing in this episode. Instead, it’s pastoral care debrief about the quarantine, worship, and how to balance faith and love.
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?
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?
We’re all going to die. Come watch TV.
Gillespie and Riley read and discuss Viktor Frankl's, Man's Search for Meaning. Why has a book that was written by a psychoanalyst and neurologist about his experience in the Nazi death camps had such an effect and influence on the Christian Church?
I mean, if you spend all day shuffling words around, you can make anything sound bad.
Gillespie and Riley finish their discussion of the book, Mission to Nuremberg. What happens when a pastor is called to minister to Nazi war criminals? This is the third of three episodes, where we talk about the power of the Gospel, state-sponsored religion, and pastoral care when it's attacked from outside and within the church.
There's a lesson here and we're not going to be the ones to figure it out.
