Join us as we discuss Jesus rich teaching early in Luke 13 (repent, parable of the barren fig tree, & healing on the Sabbath). We also observe the feast days of a couple of remarkable early saints in the British Isles: St. Patrick & St. Cuthbert. Enjoy!

Lutheran Satire's Life of St. Patrick set to music (inspiring AND funny)

Lutheran Satire's famous "St. Patrick's Bad Analogies"

Luke 9:28–36

Matthew 6:1–6, 16–21

Join us as we discuss Jesus' "Sermon on the Plain" in Luke 6. We then mark Martin Luther's feast day (2/18/1546). Kirk is a fanboy, and thinks he is ripe for a reevaluation from many who are skeptical. Chris pleads for nuance in understanding his decisions. Both us of agree that Catholics AND Reformed could do with a clearer understanding of what he actually taught about the gospel and the Church. Let us know what you think!

Luke 6:17–26

We discuss Jesus calling of Peter, James, & John, their miraculous catch of fish, & promise to make them "fishers of men". We also talk Adam McKay's movie "Don't Look Up". We think it's not exactly what he intended, and we recommend it. Enjoy!

Luke 5:1–11

We discuss Jesus teaching in the synagogue as he reveals that Isaiah was speaking of Him. Then, we discuss the Apple TV+ series 'Foundation'. Chris thought it was great, but Kirk loves the books and thought it was a travesty. Enjoy!

Luke 4:14–21

We look at Jesus' 1st of 7 signs in John's gospel- the wedding at Cana. Then we (belatedly) review "The Last Duel", Ridley Scott's latest movie. See it; it's an old-fashioned Hollywood epic with great performances and a compelling story. Warning if you listen with children: we discuss some themes/events that are NOT child-friendly. Enjoy!

John 2:1–11

We jam two feast days into today's episode: the adoration of the magi at the Epiphany and the Baptism of our Lord by St. John the Baptist. Enjoy!

Luke 2:22–40
