  • Pentecostalism & Rachel

    Send me a text!

    I got to sit down with my very dear and completely engaged friend Rachel Gernhardt to discuss what it was like to grow up in a Pentecostal tradition.

    I hope you enjoy this episode! As you'll hear it was recorded 3 or 4 months ago during Advent! But don't worry, I've spent all this time recording and meeting people and lining up interviews for a great year!

    What a kick off for Season 2 of the Lutheran Answers Podcast!

  • Youth & Family Life Ministry with Josh Craig

    Send me a text!

    In this episode I sit down with the amazing Josh Craig. Truly one of the kindest, most fun men I've had the chance to interact with. Josh was gracious enough to speak with me for an hour about Youth Ministry, Family Life Ministry, and the pitfalls that a lot of people unknowingly step into. Josh and I actually ended up talking another hour and a half after I stopped recording, and during that time set up to talk again. So there will be a part 2 to this episode in a few weeks, and probably more than that.

    If you don't already, follow Josh on Twitter: @hoshuahAnd make sure you follow his wife Madelyn!

        • Interview: Hans Fiene

          Send me a text!

          Pr. Hans Fiene of Bread Twitter was kind enough to sit down for an hour and speak with me about being a pastor, his Lutheran Satire side-project on YouTube, and our general attitudes about the world around us. 

          I had a great time speaking with Pr. Fiene, and I really enjoyed his perspective on things. What's so amazing to me, especially going back and listening over the editing process, was how thorough, intelligent, and quick he was with all of his answers.

          I do not send questions ahead of time, and all his answers were natural, off the cuff answers. 

          Truly one of the kindest, most intelligent men I've ever met. I'm honored to have him on.

        • Interview: Rev. Seth Hecox

          Send me a text!

          I had the overwhelming joy of getting to sit down and speak with Rev. Seth Hecox, an ELCA pastor and member of the band Becoming the Archetype. Rev. Hecox tweeted a question: Would you be willing to admit Jesus was wrong?

          It got him in some trouble with conservative Christians of various stripes. I figured I would take the time to have him on and let him, in his own words, explain the point he was trying to make. 

          We also spent quite a good amount of time speaking about ministry, our denominational differences, and his band, Becoming the Archetype – one of my all time favorite musical acts.

          I hope you enjoy this episode!

        • A Conversation With @Literally_Chad

          Send me a text!

          In this week's episode, I share with you part one of a two hour conversation that I had with Everyone's Favorite Chad, the one that's Literally Catholic: @Literally_Chad.

          This episode, like I said, is part one. I felt like a big two hour thing was a bit too long, since my episodes average about 70 minutes. I didn't want to suddenly double the runtime for you guys. Unfortunately part two of the audio was lost to time.

          I would love to give you notes on what we talk about, but we really run the gamut and talk about everything. This discussion started out as us taking on getting guys to just DM the girl and get married so we can have more Christian babies, but we ended up – pretty immediately – moving on to other topics.

        • Interview: Dr. Stephen Parrish

          Send me a text!

          I had the lovely opportunity to sit down with Dr. Stephen Parrish and discuss his book Atheism?: A Critical Analysis as well as general philosophy and theology within a Christian World View.

          I had such a wonderful time doing this and I cannot wait to sit down again with Dr. Parrish some time. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.

        • A Conversation with Z. D. Houghton

          Send me a text!

          In this episode of Lutheran Answers, I had the pleasure of sitting down and having a very thoughtful and encouraging conversation with Mr. Zack Houghton. Zack, who goes by @ZDHoughton on Twitter, graduated from a Reformed Baptist Seminary with a Master's Degree in Pastoral Leadership and was a Baptist minister for some time before being convinced of the Lutheran Confessions.

          Today you can hear us discuss Baptist theology, Mr. Houghton's personal journey, and the comfort that the confessional Lutheran view of Christian theology truly brings.And, keep your ear open to the beginning! You'll hear pretty early on (about the 7 minute mark) a cut in the audio. That's because a storm blew over my town briefly and knocked my power out! I was actually off the call immediately after asking Zack a question.

          Thanks to Riverside.FM we didn't lose any audio, despite my entire computer shutting off! That's because Riverside uploads each participant's audio and video individually. This allows for higher quality audio and video and avoids interruptions – even if the host drops off the call like I did!If you would like to check out Riverside.FM, please do so using my affiliate link.
