He differentiates juvenility from immaturity. And then gives us some practical steps to counteract the juvenility and even grow in maturity.

They’re not in our hymnals. But they’re in the Bible. And so they should be in our hymnals. Thus, a great treasure has been stolen from Christians to learn how to pray in the way of the Imprecatory Psalms. We’re trying to fix that. In this episode, Ramirez leads us through what imprecation is. Then he demonstrates from the psalms and examples in the Bible, where the saints of old imprecate God’s enemies, and so their enemies also, so that we can follow in their train.

If you hang around the Editors of Gottesdienst for long enough, you’ll no doubt end up hearing about Wiest, Rev. Dr. Stephen Wiest. I never personally knew or met this man, but from the stories, I want to. In this episode, we look at the man, the myth, the legend, to understand his contribution to confessional and liturgical Lutheranism and the Editors of our beloved journal.

In the first episode of The Gods of Our Age, Mark Preus walked us through an introduction. That the people of Rome, Galatia, Corinth, and Ephesus could hardly not know that they were idolaters when Paul preached to them. They had idols of stone and wood and precious metals. They had temples with statues devoted to their gods. We know from Luther’s Catechisms that an idol is anything that you fear, love, and trust in above all things. We have idols too. They are not statues of stone or wood or precious metals. But they look exactly like the idols of the ancient world. 

In this episode, He narrows our focus on the God of War, Ares/Mars.
