The Law is a good gift that serves as our guide, but that isn't all it does.

Feeling angry, frustrated, sad, or tired about politics right now?

Well we've got a show for you.

There have been some things said lately and it seems fair to weigh in on them from the perspective of the Book of Concord.

Traditions are great, but they aren't necessary for salvation.

Confession, absolution, and ecclesial tyranny? Certainly not on Manbuns and Jesus?!

It's really more of an episode about vocation, but we want the titles for the season to be consistent.

And yes, I know I could just say "Concerning Vocation" but that didn't occur to me until I was writing the description and I'd have to actually click back on the Title box instead of just using the Tab key - not on your life!

An episode about something that used to be a major point of contention that still has some wisdom for us today.

Ben and Josh talk about whether or not we should genuinely consider that there might be people out there making deals with the devil.

Can we declare ourselves patron saints of chicanery and tomfoolery? Probably not.

Did we do it anyway? What do you think?
