In this special episode, we take a look at the current landscape of moral philosophy in the American Lutheran church. Is there such a thing as a "Lutheran Ethic?" If so, what does it look like, and how can Martin Luther and the other reformers help guide us in this area? All this and more in tonight's episode.

In this episode, we look at the Gospel reading for the 17th Sunday after Trinity, which is Luke 14:1-11. Here, Jesus is asked by the Pharisees if it is lawful to heal a man on the Sabbath. How is Jesus's answer to this question commonly misunderstood? What does it mean for us to keep the Sabbath day holy? Answers to these questions and more on tonight's episode.

In honor of the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels, we dispel some common misconceptions about angels, discuss their role in creation, and look at several Scripture verses that help us understand how we are to think about them.

In this episode, we discuss the Gospel reading for Trinity 15, which is Matthew 6:24-34. How does a love of money relate to being anxious? What is mammon, and how can it become our master? To answer these questions, we turn to excerpts from one of Martin Luther's sermons on this text.

In this episode, we discuss the origins of the Feast of the Holy Cross and read the Scriptures appointed for the day. We then discuss "The Theology of the Cross" vs. "The Theology of Glory" as explained by Gene Edward Veith.

In this episode, we discuss the Parable of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:23-37. Is this a teaching of Law, or Gospel? Who is our neighbor? We answer these questions and more as we talk through this popular parable.

In this episode, we celebrate the commemoration of St. Augustine of Hippo, discussing his life, legacy, and perhaps one of his most famous quotes: "our heart is restless until it rests in You."

This week, we look at the Gospel reading for the 11th Sunday after Trinity, which is Luke 18:9-14 (the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector). Why was the Tax Collector justified and not the Pharisee? Is humility a good work? We answer these questions and more as we discuss this text.

In honor of the August 15th celebration of the Feast of Mary, Mother of Our Lord, we discuss the some of the many ways that Lutherans talk about Mary, and how the Lutheran approach differs from other Christian traditions.
