Service of Confession Absolution (Lutheran Service Book)

God seems to like material! He made it. He made us. He comes to us through the manger and the cross. Instead of giving up something for Lent, perhaps we should practice appreciation for God’s gift of creation. Joel Hess from Ringside Preachers Podcast and Donavon Riley from Banned Books Podcast expose things you won’t hear in church. “The Ringers” talk philosophy, heresy, literature, art, and faith to expand your mind this Lent.
