Author and musician FLAME joins Rachel, Sarah, and Erin in a recap discussion of the latest Lutheran Ladies’ Book Club selection, Extra Nos: Discovering Grace outside Myself.

The show bounces back and forth between host questions and reader questions (submitted via the Book Club Facebook event page).

How did FLAME become FLAME? How does a theological biography differ from an ordinary life story? What can we learn from FLAME’s journey from charismatic evangelicalism through Calvinism and into a profoundly Lutheran confession? How did faithful women play a vital role in that journey? And what’s coming next for one of Lutheranism’s most exciting recording artists?

At the end of the episode, the Ladies introduce the next Lutheran Ladies’ Book Club read: George Herbert’s The Temple. (Read along with Rachel in the Penguin Classics edition here.)
