The Bible is rich and deep in meaning. Every detail is important. And even the small details, the seemingly insignificant, one-off, in-passing details, provide insight into the deep truths of God. Larry Beane (pastor of Salem Lutheran Church, Gretna, LA, and Departmental Editor for Gottesdienst: the Journal of Lutheran Liturgy) walks us through the first book of the Bible tracing the steps of our fathers in the faith from well to well. What was the purpose of the well in the ancient world. How did they eventually begin to be seen? What in the New Testament church corresponds to these ancient wells?

One of the duties of the priests in the Old Testament was to distinguish the holy from the common, or as we would call it, the sacred from the secular. And they were given the task of teaching this distinction to the people. They did this not only in what they said but in what they did. It was communicated in how the tabernacle and temple were constructed. Everything surrounding the worship and daily life of the people of Israel focused on making this distinction. Fritz Eckardt (pastor of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Kewanee, IL, and Editor-in-Chief of Gottesdienst: The Journal of Lutheran Liturgy) takes up a similar task in looking at the sacred and secular at Christmas time.

Every Advent, in the Lutheran tradition, churches set aside Wednesday evenings for prayer and catechesis. These midweek Advent services tend to focus on a topic of the catechism or a particular doctrine. This year The Brothers of John the Steadfast have put together a midweek Advent series on the doctrine of the Last Things (Eschatology). Josh Scheer (pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church, Cheyenne, WY) joins us to discuss why this is an important topic for Christians to understand, and what each week will focus on: Now, At the Last, and Unto Eternity, which are three major aspects of the Last Things.

Karl Fabrizius (pastor of Our Father Lutheran Church, Greenfield, WI, and departmental editor for Gottesdienst) joins us to discuss and elaborate on one of his recent columns for the print journal (Michaelmas 2020). Fabrizius notes a principle or tendency that runs through the accounts in the Bible that reveals our works righteousness: "We are so quick to think that the church stands or falls on the basis of our works rather than the word of Christ." Account after account, story after story, Fabrizius shows us this tendency in them and thus in ourselves, while at the same time showing us that their Savior is ours as well.

What is marxism, and its offshoot, cultural marxism? What are the foundational presuppositions, the primary goals, and the main means of attaining these goals of this ideology? How does it affect the family, the society, and the church? And what is the church's response to be in the face of it? Is it merely political rhetoric?
These questions, among others, are discussed in today's episode. Larry Beane (pastor of Salem Lutheran Church, Gretna, LA, and Sermons Editor for Gottesdienst) walks us through the cultural marxist's long march through the institutions.

Eventhough we aren't quite out of the pandemic woods yet, it's a good time to take stock of what we've learned about ourselves, our churches, our district and synod structures in light of the events since March. Operating under the principle that crises reveal character before they build it, Ben Ball (pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Hamel, IL, and 6th Vice President of the LCMS) and I seek to put our heads together to uncover the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Why pray the Psalms, and why should they form the center of the Christian's life of prayer? Why use Gregorian chant and how do you learn it? Why have a book for prayer at all? Michael Frese (associate pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Fort Wayne, IN, and ower of Emmaunel Press) talks about and answers these questions, but also takes us on the journey he took that eventually became The Brotherhood Prayerbook.
