In this episode, we take a look at what happened around the release of Luther’s Large Catechism with Annotations and Contemporary Applications (L-CACA), what the good, the bad, and the ugly are, analyzing particular statements in particular essays, and why it was a confused project on multiple layers.

Aaron Renn has persuasively argued that we now live in the “negative world” with respect to Christianity. Being Christian is sociologically speaking, no longer seen by society as a positive good or even a neutral thing, but rather a negative evil — something to be gotten rid of (“Three Worlds” in First Things). Our guest has seen this born out in his own workplace as he records what happened when he professed a return to biblical male and female, family dynamics at a conference (“Anatomy of a Cancellation” in First Things). He admits he should have seen it coming, but even he was surprised by what happened. His suggestion was to begin cultivating a spirit of martyrdom.

St. Paul warns us on a number of occasions to beware of envy and rivalry among the brothers. This is all the more important for pastors to live out so that the people of God may have shepherds to imitate in their life and conduct. In the first episode, Heath Curtis talks about not only spiritual implications for the pastor and the spiritual welfare of the church, but also implores us to find our place on the team, to be willing to play outfield even when we think we are better at second base for the good of the team. We are, after all, one body and each individual member has his part to play.  In this episode, He points us to learn from an unlikely source, and gives us a framework for understanding where we might fit on the team in various circumstances

The Psalm are filled with all kinds of prayers: confessions of sin, praise of God’s mighty works, royal and enthronement prayers, liturgical prayers and songs, prayers of imprecation against God’s enemies, and prayers of lament. In this episode, Sean Daenzer helps us become reacquainted with lament: what it is and what it isn't, what it does, to whom it is directed.

God created them male and female. They are distinct. They are related. How are men to be men and women to be women? What design is implicit in the Scriptures for each of these callings?
