August 20, 2009Marriage and BaptismDid you know that married couples can learn something about how to live out their marriage by learning about Baptism and what it means? I was surprised.

August 03, 2009Can a Christian Really Fall Away?In this edition of Radical Grace Radio we talk about the doctrine of "Once Saved Always Saved", which is hard sometimes because it seems to some people that we are trying to take away the assurance of Salvation?

July 06, 2009Law and Gospel: So What?Sometimes, when we talk about Law and Gospel to people, there comes a point where someone says "so what". What that means is they aren't getting how the scriptures not only contain both Law passages and Gospel passages, but that often we have a tendency as sinful, fallen people to misread Gospel passages as Law, and often get these two distinct teachings mixed up. In this edition of Radical Grace Radio, we talk about the "so what" of law and Gospel and how it drastically changes your Christian walk when you keep these two teachings distinct. In the second half of the hour Pastor Ron Meyr of Faith Lutheran Viera joins us....more55minPlay
June 29, 2009Comfort Comfort All My PeopleThe opening theme for Radical Grace Radio, in it's entirety. No, this isn't necessarily what Sunday morning worship music should sound like. I remember getting the idea to do an upbeat version of this old Advent Hymn when I heard the Choir at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis do it as though it were a march...

We all decided this should be the theme for the show, since most other shows already use "A mighty Fortress" as their opening theme. Speaking of "A Mighty Fortress", listen carefully in the second verse for a re-iteration of this famous melody....more3minPlay
