In this episode, we not only discuss the importance of being what Luther in the Large Catechism calls "a father in office at church,” but also more importantly being a father in blood at home. Those who have been given the gift of children and are thus “fathers in blood” have a duty to be present, not only physically there but also plugged in when you are there.

Every pastor or father who takes teaching the Bible seriously will eventually encounter difficult questions on tough topics. When this happens, we should be ready and lean into them not run away from them. In this series, we’ll be looking at a framework for discussing these topics and walking through how best to answer them by 1) defining what it is and isn’t, 2) how is it bad, 3) how is it good, 4) what are the counterexamples, 5) how is it applied (ratcheting).
In this episode, we discuss the conquest of Canaan and the charge of genocide.
