TGC 296 — Thinking Out Loud (Presentation of Augsburg Confession)

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. Host: Fr.

TGC 295 — Thinking Out Loud (Trinity 2)

Familiarity, we are told, breeds contempt. In practice, however, familiarity breeds contemplation. In this episode, we see how repetition of a single, standard rite for the Divine Service, not only allows for (both young and old alike) all to participate, but it also creates room for contemplation on what God is doing therein.  Order Servant of Christ’s Church: A Festschrift in Honour of John R.

TGC 294 — Familiarty Breeds Contemplation

This is becoming one of my favorite podcasts. Excellent substance, thoughtful discussion, and every time I listen I find myself clicking ‘Share’ with Lutherans and non-Lutherans alike. Learning about the liturgy never gets old, and it’s wonderful to grow in appreciation of the gifts that God gives us in the Divine Service.

A Must-Hear

A thorough and learned discussion of all things Lutheran and liturgical.

Fantastic
