Ringside Preachers

You don't run on treadmills even when 9 below. You'll drive an extra mile and wait an extra hour before you'll eat at some franchise. You drink your milk right from the jug and you won't apologize. You are a ringside listener and you deserve the best! Well we got it for you! TOPICS: 1. If Pot is legal, is it moral? Is it different than alcohol? Can a Christian enjoy it? 2. What the heck is epiphany? WE know what Christmas is, but why do we need epiphany? 3. PASTORS ARE COACHES? OF course not. But with all the talk of football coaches being fired and hired it certainly draws comparisons to peoples expectations of pastors. 4. How much water for a baptism? Why are our fonts so tiny in the lutheran church? Does it matter?

Mary did you know? Do you hear what I hear? It's a new year so why not a new ringside! This is the long lost Christmas episode your parents told you about! Pop it in, hit play and sit back to what the late Burle Ives called 'magic.'

TOPICS:

1. Favorite Christmas song?

2 Whaddya really think about Christmas/Easter folks? Is it right for people to look down on them? How should a pastor treat them? hmmm

3. Christmas and Communion. If you don't got communion right, I'm not sure you got the incarnation right or what does it mean when we confess Jesus is God and Man! Having communion on Christmas seems required if ya think about it.

4. Favorite Christmas movie? How about Die Hard?

5.What does it mean that Mary conceived Jesus through her left ear?

music: intro - angels we have heard on high - willing virginia, she wants to hold you in her heart -ja hess, dead bees. outro - it aint christmas if it ain't free - ja hess

Said the little girl dropped off by her grandma's boyfriend to get some government breakfast before school, "Do you hear what I hear?" Ringside! Keeping it real since 2016. This is the podcast for the working man, the tired mother, the lineman just making ends meet and the lady tending bar while her kids are with her mother. This is the podcast for the common guy who enjoys belting out Sweet Child o mine on a Friday night in unison with his buddies and for a moment forgets all his troubles.

Alas all our hosts and the intern are together again!

TOPICS!

1. PAUL, CALIFORNIA FIRES, CHURCH RESPONSE - Church as a gang, taking care of one another and its community

2. SANTA IS REAL, I HAVE HIS THIGH BONE! Who was the real St. Nick? Perhaps he provides the perfect example (next to Mary) of the Christian who is both compassionate and faithful to God's teachings

3. 10 ASSUMPTIONS to DUMP IN OUR POST CHRISTIAN CULTURE. We go over actually a couple of them - biblical literacy, consistent worship attendance

4. JUSTICE. Why do we love justice? Why is satisfying to see wrong righted? Does God care about justice? Or He is just a forgiver and a nice guy?

5. JOHN THE BAPTIST-How did he get in our cozy little manger scene? What does repentance have to do with Christmas?

So hardcore Christian we celebrate pre-advent. So faithful we tell poor old ladies, "get behind me satan! No we won't be playing any Christmas Carols during Advent."

Joel, Paul and Ross are joined by Rev. Bob Hiller for some serious banter about issues you need answers to now!

Tyler will be back soon! Apologize for not the best recording

TOPICS:

1. What do you tell someone who lost a loved one who didn't believe in Christ? Do you give hope? Maybes? or just tell them how it is! What would you do?

2. What is the meaning of Jesus prophecy regarding Sheep and Goats, Judgement and the Last day? Is He telling us to do prison ministry and set up food banks? Is He warning us to do good works?

3.Advent? What is it? Is it important, helpful, necessary? Is it wrong to sing christmas carols during advent? How do we get advent back?

4. Adiophara? What do you do in the Church with things God does not command for us to do? Does the color of carpet matter? organ vs. praise band? Where did this term come from? Reformers fear of looking too roman catholic hmmm?

5. Is the answer to growing the church - making babies? Was the growth of christianity more due to people multiply versus discipling?
