"Go and make disciples of all nations," is a phrase every Christian should be familiar with. Before we can go and make we need to first know what we are making.

What is a disciple?

Deuteronomy 34.1-12, Leviticus 19.1-2, 15-18, 1 Thessalonians 2.1-8, Matthew 22.34-46; What is the role of a theologian-pastor? Who is our Moses? How can we be holy? Why do we want to please mortals more than God? These questions and more on this episode of Strangely Warmed with guest Kenneth Tanner.

Doxology reveals the fallacy of letting kids choose whether or not they want to be a part of the church. 

Do you need a reference to the Holy Trinity for a doxology to truly be a doxology? Does each person of the Holy Trinity need to be referenced? Is hymn #95 correct? Is hymn #94? Are you a 'bad 95'er?'

Are acts of public prayer a form of 'doxa' or are they an attempt to hold onto Christendom?

Exodus 33.12-23, Isaiah 45.1-7, 1 Thessalonians 1.1-10, Matthew 22.15-22; How does God respond to our prayers? Why should we sing the good old hymns? Are we worshipping our country more than the living God? These questions and more on this episode of Strangely Warmed with guest Kenneth Tanner.

Catechism is a word used in churches annually with little thought to the meaning or practice. What does catechism really mean and in understanding the word can we do it better?

Exodus 32.1-14, Isaiah 25.1-9, Philippians 4.1-9, Matthew 22.1-14; What is a "grass church"? How are we supposed to read the bible? Does Jesus care what we wear to church? These and more questions on this episode of Strangely Warmed with Teer Hardy.
