This week, we discuss some practical elements of Christian counseling, which are rooted in a decidedly Reformed approach to those struggling with sin as Christians.  Join Michael Lewis and Brad Kafer as we discuss counseling from the Heidelberg Catechism with pastor Cody Schwichtenberg.

As well intended as some Biblical counseling is, it is often based on some flawed premises, namely that all negative emotions or outcomes are a direct result of overt or hidden sin in the one being counseled.  Pastor Cody Schwichtenberg joins us this week to offer a more balanced alternative, using Law and Gospel appropriately for each person, and drawing from the rich comfort of the Heidelberg Catechism to offer peace and rest to weary saints. 

Is it inherently sinful to experience anxiety, depression, and other negative emotions? Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis this week as we explore the comfort that God gives us in Christ and through other people in this week's episode.

It's that time of year again.  We're saying farewell to last year and gearing up for the coming year, and many of us may be feeling the pressure to make resolutions.  For some people it's just a tradition, but for others, it can be a conscience damaging exercise in self made religion.  Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis this week as we discuss a better way to enter then new year with The Reclamation's own Jeffery Scott Perry. 

Jesus is worthy of our full submission and surrender, but do we stay in relationship with Him through our surrender? Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis as we tease this issue apart on this week's episode. 

Christ is an exalted prophet, priest and king, and to him has been granted dominion over all things.  But will you let this exalted king be your servant, or must you be his slave? Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis as we explore the wonder of Jesus as the God who serves sinners on this week's episode.

Are you burdened with fear, depression, anxiety, sin, struggle, weakness, and doubt?  Do you feel like you need to get your act together so Jesus will hear your prayers? We have good news for you.  Jesus is still alive at the right hand of the Father as a mediator, advocate, and intercessor in his High Priestly role.  All of us may come to Him boldly for help in time of need.  Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis as we unpack the implications of Christ's eternal priesthood.

The Holidays can be a mixed bag emotionally.  For some, it is indeed the most wonderful time of the year. For others, it's a time of stress, sadness, and anxiety.  Wherever you fall on that spectrum, the coming of the promised Messiah offers real and lasting hope that goes above and beyond anything we could think of imagine.  Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis this week as we explore the magnificent hope we have in Christ. 

As Christians, we have been saved from the defilement of our consciences by dark forces to the freedom of the children of God. Join Brad Kafer and Michael Lewis this week as we work through the fullness of what it means to be grateful in the Christian life. 

Aren't the Creeds just dusty old antiques that have long been surpassed by our modern interpretations? Join us this week on the Reclamation as we talk with Pastor Bradley Gray, and Pastor Timothy Baird, about the Chalcedonian definition.  A Herculean effort was undertaken by over 600 bishops to clarify and preserve the person and work of Christ for future generations, all the way back in 451 AD.
