No one expects the inquisition, but we take a look at how some Italian Reformers responded to the Inquisition.  And we try to take a few lessons from this persecution that fell upon the Reformers of Italy.

We haven’t checked in on the Waldenses in some time, so we see what they are up to in 1540.  And unsurprisingly it is trying not to be killed by the French Catholics.  Find out about the Arret de Merindol to see the depth of the hatred toward Christ and his followers.

A short quick thought exhortation about death and Jesus’s transforming of it.  Using Paul’s view and confidence of death, which should really be driven home to us right now.  May God give us such confidence and faith.

Slightly out of time order in history, but in order because of what we face currently.  Take a look with me at the conversion of Theodore Beza, man of letters into a man of God.

Rev. Matt Powell joins for a discussion about finding in our home in the house of God and desiring it like a deer pants for water during this virus outbreak.

In these days the group thought it best to take a trip into the psalms and take a break from James.  Taking refuge in Christ and finding hope in the trouble.  We pray you find some comfort in the word of God as we discuss it.

1540 sees a change in the Lutheran church, the effects of which will hit, impact, and even aid the Reformed Church.

No gang today so we take a break from James and look to current events.  And with a declared global pandemic it is a good time to remind ourselves of our very present help in trouble: the Lord Jesus Christ, who is always at hand.

We examine a bevy of three books all about the same man: George Whitefield.  Thomas Kidd, Harry Stout, and Stephen Mansfield all write biographies of America’s first celebrity and all their books are examined.

The trio is together again to talk about James 4:13-17 and if the Lord wills you can listen to this and enjoy it.  What it means when we keep God out of our plans.
