Joined by Pastor Mike from Ohio, we begin a new book today! Taking a look at a sermon given at age 20 by Dietrich about rebuilding Germany but not building in vain. It is the Lord Jesus, in whom we have forgiveness of sins, who builds. If He is not the builder, our labors are in vain.

Follies of the week include the United Church of Christ, The View, and of course the United States Government.

A delightful conversation about prayer. In this episode we take a look at the morning and evening prayers that Dietrich wrote for his fellow prisoners, leading to a discussion about what prayer is and why do we pray at all? Can we change God's mind?
