Trigger warning: We talk briefly about suicide in this episode. We talk much more about salvation and whether it is universal in light of 2 Corinthians (apparently we jumped ahead 4 weeks on the lectionary, Oops).

Dan Nelson and John Ansell join us for a discussion about pastoral authority. We talk about our experiences, hopes, and understandings of pastoral authority in the ELCA today.

We talk about the Transfiguration, changes to the format of the podcast and the historicity of the Old Testament.

We talk about the results of last night's primary, the role of faith in politics, and Brach has a hysteric laughing fit.

We talk about the Happy Exchange, Calvinism, and how to talk about these things.

We've done ten episodes now! Sorry this one's up late, but such is life. We talk about atonement theories and how a Theology of the Cross affects and effects that.

Today we talk about how we talk about miracles. We reference this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN-8G0HCD5Uand how some see Christ as a glorified illusionist.

A little more casual conversation today. We talk about such topics as books, cigars, and the costs of seminary. John Ansell joins us yet again.

John Ansell joins us again as we talk about the changing ways that we talk about and understand faith.

So, a short one this week as we start talking about community both in and outside of the church.
