Day Trippin'. In this episode, we talk about Easter, altars, cosmic mountains, church history, open fonts, restored virtue, saints, angels, powers of darkness, idols, icons, images, searching for the truth, and how Jesus is the archetype of all archetypes, and in between we read Luther on the Old Testament by Heinrich Bornkamm.

Just My Imagination. In this episode, we read Eugene Peterson's book, Under the Unpredictable Plant, and discuss theological imagination at length. What are the consequences when the church takes its cues from a culture with no imagination? Can Christians tell biblical stories without a theological imagination? What happens when the earthly and heavenly are divided by a lack of imagination into merely rationalized explanations?

The Thinking Fellows are live from Here We Still Stand 2023. The original cast is joined by special guest Greg Koukl of Stand to Reason to discuss the lasting impact of C.S. Lewis. The conversation focuses on the ability of Lewis to communicate effectively and clearly across disciplines. Lewis stands as a model for Christians to learn how to declare and defend the good news that we are forgiven and free on account of Christ alone.  Show Notes: Support 1517 1517 Podcasts The 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 on Youtube Stand to Reason Street Smarts Tactics Being Dad  What's New from 1517: Free 2023 Advent Resources 2024(May 3-4) NWA Tickets are Now Available!

The Fellows discuss the purpose and place of literary apologetics. They look at the role of narrative and imagination when doing theology and how it can help address those in need of Christ. They discuss the significance of good literature written by Christians like C.S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkein and how they can remind theologians that theology is not just categories but needs a narrative. Here We Still Stand 2023 Is SOLD OUT. Tickets for the HWSS regional event are still available.

Our producer, Caleb Keith, introduces this podcast to the audience at the pre-conference at the Here We Still Stand Conference in San Diego. This wonderful audience then watched Katie and Gretchen attempt to have a recorded conversation with people staring at us. This conversation is about theological drifts, and how the Apostle's Creed is a stablizing tool as we go through "detangling" of our faith from theological trends or spiritual manipulation. We talk about having an unmanipulated theology, and how pragmatisim is often the precurser to theological drifts. We then get into the Apostle's Creed, continuing on in our discussion of the 1st article. If you missed coming to the Here We Still Stand conference, there is a regional conference in Bentonville Arkansas in May 2023, where the theme is the book of Galatians (Gretchen will be speaking on Galatians 2). You can register for that here: https://www.1517.org/events/2023-regional-conference-in-bentonville-arkansas   The next national Here We Still Stand Conference in San Diego is next October, and the theme of that one is "CS Lewis and the Untamed God."

We are celebrating our 100th episode by answering listener questions that were sent in. What are our favorite episodes? What have we learned? We end up chatting about deconstruction and doubts again, as well as feedback we got from listeners. We have a lot of fun and laughs in this episode, as we celebrate what we have witnessed these last 2 years.

In this episode with Mike Cosper, we talk about grace and virtue. How do we "pursue virtue" and not let go of grace? We discuss the difference between self introspection by checking our own fruit, and confessing our sins. When we understand it's the grace that pushes forward any love toward the neighbors in our life, it changes the paradigm. We talk about the theology of the cross, the hiddenness of it all, and the mask that we wear.

What does it mean to be steadfast? How does vocation relate to location? In this episode, Gretchen and Katie discuss the theology of place, as it relates to the ongoing conversation of patience and hope. What does it mean to stay, and stay in freedom without compulsion? When is it time to cut ties in a situation and leave? Using farming as an example, they talk about the influence of nostalgia on our perceptions of things, but also the work of serving the area where God has placed you--weeds and all. This conversation has many rabbit trails and ends up in the book of James. Some mentions: Wendell Berry's poems, Hannah Coulter, Jayber Crow Join us at Here We Still Stand this year! Registration

We have special guest Sarah Crowder to talk with us about interacting with the teens in our lives--whether our own, in our churches, or neighborhoods--in a way that helps them understand the gospel. Sarah teaches theology classes to high school freshman at a Lutheran high school in Las Vegas, many of whom are unchurched. She talks about building relationships through transparency, and not presenting ourselves as perfect. We talk about the dynamic of teaching both law and gospel to teens, and where vocation and excellence plays into all of that. She finishes up by sharing how she shows the kids where in our theology of the cross they can safely grieve, especially after a tough couple of years that the teens have lived through. Some videos she made for her student that she uses often: Sarah's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIeYW5I82llwDkkHlpzD9vA A video she did on her dad and what church means: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17lIHCkByS0 Her lesson on death and dying featuring the sermon at her dad's funeral:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72SDVz_2hOA Some of the audio was a bit crackly in the first 4 minutes, and hopefully we got it a little fixed after that.

As Gretchen and Katie are traveling to the Here We Still Stand regional conference today, they prepared a special podcast for today, talking about upcoming things, both professionally and personally. They talk about retreats, substitute teaching, working with teenagers, the farm seasons, and more. Most of all, this episode is just for fun--to pull up a coffee with the 2 of us and come sit with us as we talk about life. Support the ministry of 1517 at http://www.1517.org/donate  

In this episode, Gretchen and Katie talk about all the projects they have in the works. From speaking engagements, a book on patience, a book on motherhood, and perhaps a children's book? They talk about processing through preparing content, and trying to keep the gospel central to the message, and writing and speaking honestly.

It's easy to look at our faith through an emotional lens. Are you on an emotional high, or an emotional low? Are you on a mountaintop, or are things silent in the valley? What happens to your faith when you aren't "feeling it."  Gretchen and Katie talk a little bit about the new and fresh love someone feels about their spouse, compared to the depth one sees in the low parts, when you realize they will stick with you no matter what.  On the other side, what happens when we look at our faith through a logical lens, defining it by how much we are able to understand or articulate? Do the academics have more faith than a child? What it comes down to is, are we looking outside of us, to see the value and health of our faith, or are we looking within, to ourselves, to determine the value and health of our faith. Emotions and logic are both good, and give us helpful information, but they aren't the determining factors, because our faith comes from Christ--not us. We look to him for our salvation, and our growth, not ourselves. Join us to talk about assurance at the Here We Still Stand conference in Las Vegas. Support the ministry of 1517. Any questions?

In this episode we talk about who does what in repentance. It can be easy to put ourselves in the driver's seat of someone else's repentance. But every time we do that, we don't produce repentance, we produce manipulation. So how do we get people to repent, or at least change their behavior? In this episode Gretchen and Katie talk about how sin is a stress on relationships, and in our effort to relieve that stress and pain, we often take on the role of the Holy Spirit in unhealthy ways. So how does the Holy Spirit work, and what is our role? Listen in to today's episode. Support 1517 Join us for Here We Still Stand in Las Vegas

What is repentance, and how do we get it, or do it? In this episode, Gretchen and Katie talk about some common questions about repentance. How do you know if someone has repented enough? How do you know if you have repented enough? Where do we get repentance? What it comes down to is: what comes first, repentance or grace? They talk about how this doctrine deeply impacts how we evangelize and interact with non-Christians, as we can easily think, if they can just turn away from their bad deeds, it will be so much easier for them to become Christians--when in fact, that is not salvation by grace, that is salvation by works. This episode in repentance gets down to the practical/logistical questions that impact our daily relationships with others. Come join us at Here We Still Stand regional conference in Las Vegas!

Part 2 of our critique of Steven Paulson's lecture at the 1517 Legacy's "Here We Still Stand" conference.

Part 1 of my conversation with Nathan Rinne on Steven Paulson's lecture on The Theology of the Cross at the 1517 "Here We Still Stand" conference.

Whether it is the awkwardness of praying aloud in a group, starting a prayer journal and then forgetting about it, using prewritten prayers, or having notecards, we often feel like we aren't that good or consistent in prayer. Katie and Gretchen talk about the ups and downs of their prayer lives, and how failure is not possible when the weight and responsibility is on the Holy Spirit's shoulders. We can pray in freedom when He intercedes for us. Gretchen's Blogpost on prayer journals. There is still time to a little bit of time to register for Here We Still Stand conference!! Support 1517.

It's easier to wrap our heads around independently performing for God, rather than understanding that as we were under the law, dying because it was to heavy for us, we couldn’t hold it, Christ set us free, completed the law on our behalf, and gave us his Spirit to hold us up and help us.  Hebrews 12:2 says “Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.” He is the justifier. He is the sanctifier. Sanctification isn’t something he’s assigned for us to do, it’s something he’s promised us that his Spirit would do. What happens when we use the law to perform for God, and how is that different from learning to depend on God in all things? Gretchen and Katie discuss dependence on God vs independently performing when it comes to spiritual disciplines.  Support 1517 Facebook Twitter Register for Here We Still Stand 2020

In this episode Gretchen and Katie start at the beginning. In this episode they each share a bit about their faith, and why the law and gospel mean so much to them. They also share about how spiritual disciplines look like in their own lives, with kids, jobs, and constant interruptions. Support 1517 Facebook Twitter Register for Here We Still Stand 2020

On episode ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN of Let the Bird Fly! Wade and Mike are thrilled to be joined once again by two previous guests: Rev. Dr. John Pless of Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN, and Rev. Adam Morton, associate pastor at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Lancaster, PA. But they're not only joined by these two fantastic guests, they are also joined by a live audience, as this episode was recorded at the 2019 Here We Still Stand conference, which was held in October of 2019. As was the case last year at the Here We Still Stand conference, time is limited, so the guys cut right to the case and let their guests discuss the German theologian Oswald Bayer. A big thanks to both Rev. Dr. Pless and Rev. Morton for joining us again!  As always, we're grateful to the 1517 podcasting network, but we are especially thankful for giving us the opportunity to record this episode at the Here We Still Stand conference.

00:00 - Introduction 03:15 - Free-for-All (Which sports teams should your children cheer for?) 14:56 - Main Topic (Campus Ministry and Opinio Legis) On episode ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN of Let the Bird Fly! Mike is joined by Rev. Greg Lyon once again, this time to discuss the role of Law & Gospel on a college campus and especially the relentless draw of the opinio legis. Rev. Lyon has the unique perspective of serving students on a college campus as their campus pastor. And yet despite the unique time in the lives of these young adults, it's no surprise that even here opinio legis rears its ugly and persistent head. A big thanks to Rev. Lyon for joining us!

00:00 - Introduction 05:56 - Free-for-All (Books that you know you should've read) 18:48 - Main Topic (On Elizabeth Gaskell) On episode ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE of Let the Bird Fly! Mike and Wade are joined in the studio by Dr. Rebecca Parker Fedewa, who is an English professor at Wisconsin Lutheran College. Dr. Parker Fedewa's dissertation focused on Elizabeth Gaskell, so the guys figured she couldn't say "no" if they asked her on to discuss Gaskell....and they were right (but just barely). And whether you know Gaskell's life and works well, of have never even heard of her, we think you'll dig this conversation. Before getting to the real topic, though, the trio discusses books that they know they should've read (and maybe even pretend like they have), but still haven't.

Mike once again finds his way over to Wade's backyard, this time to discuss the riveting topic of syllabi. They are joined in the backyard by Wade's second oldest son, Ziggy, who joins them for part of the main topic, but seems more interested in the Free-for-All discussion of the upcoming College Football and NFL seasons.

As a lead up to Here We Still Stand 2019, the Thinking Fellows discuss the importance and use of creeds and confessions. The historic creeds are brief summations of Scriptural truth. Their use has been to combat heresy by gifting the words of faith and crediting Christ alone for salvation.

00:00 - Introduction 03:53 - Free-for-All (What we've been up to this summer) 17:42 - Main Topic (On Reading Widely) On episode ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT of Let the Bird Fly! Mike is joined for the first time in a long time by Wade  (it's not clear how Mike feels about this). The two sit down in the middle of summer 2019 to discuss the importance of reading widely for both the laity and for pastors. Before getting to the main topic, however, they decide to catch the audience up on what they've been up to (and perhaps an excuse as to our lack of new episodes lately). We apologize that episodes have been sporadic this summer. We hope to get back to our regular schedule soon. In the meantime, we hope y'all are having a great summer!

00:00 - Introduction 02:44 - Main Topic (Missiology in the Old Testament) On episode ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN of Let the Bird Fly! Mike welcomes back frequent guest Rev. Brian Doebler. Those who have heard Rev. Doebler on previous episodes might remember that he is currently working on a PhD in Missiology at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As this is a topic the Rev. Doebler has thought about more than most, Mike asked him if he'd be willing to do a few episodes on different aspects of Missiology. This episode focuses on Missiology in the Old Testament. You'll notice there's no Free-for-All again, as well as no Wade. This is not a coincidence. A big thanks to Rev.

Mike sits down with Dr. Jeremy Zima once again; this time to discuss Martin Luther on Music. Before getting to the main topic, though, Mike asks Dr. Zima to discuss his recent trip to Europe....with his rock band (well, he says a country band, but whatever). That's right, Dr. Zima's not just a professor, he's also an INTERNATIONAL rock star! But don't let this rock star fool you, he's also a music historian (is there anything this guy doesn't do?). It's hard to overestimate the role of music in the Reformation, and in this episdoe Dr. Zima makes that abundantly clear. A big thanks to Dr. Zima for joining us again!

00:00 - Introduction 02:31 - Main Topic (Serving Military Families) On episode ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE of Let the Bird Fly! Mike sits down with Rev. Paul Horn, who is pastor at Lamb of God Lutheran Churuch in Lafayette, Indiana. Rev. Horn has also served congregations in Kentucky and Georgia and has had a number of opportunities to serve military families. We wanted to have him on to discuss the challenges and benefits of serving this unique group of people. Since Mike's in charge again, you'll be without a Free-for-All (eventually Wade will see what he's up to, though, and get back on an episode to right the ship). Rev. Horn forces Mike into a mini-Free-for-All, however, so not all is lost (thanks, Paul!). Thanks to Rev. Horn for joining us while he was in the area!

00:00 - Introduction 02:01 - Main Topic (History of Lutheranism in America) On episode ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR of Let the Bird Fly! Mike welcomes back to the show Dr. Mark Braun. For the listeners that have been around since the beginning, you'll remember that Dr. Braun was one of our first guests (way back on Episode 5). Since he's joined us some eight episode, and a recording in front of a live audience. This time around Mike sits down with Dr. Braun to discuss the history of Lutheranism in America.

00:00 - Introduction 09:06 - Free-for-All (Avengers: Endgame and Story Telling) 32:53 - Main Topic (Melanchton v. Flacius with Scott Keith) On episode ONE HUNDRED AND THREE of Let the Bird Fly! Wade and Mike welcome into the studio Dr. Scott Keith who is the Executive Director of 1517 The Legacy Project and Adjunct Professor of Theology at Concordia University, Irvine. Dr. Keith is also a co-host of The Thinking Fellows Podcast, which is a fantastic podcast in the 1517 Podcast Network (which Let the Bird Fly! just happens to be a part of). In this episode Wade and Dr. Keith square off over two influential characters in the early Reformation: Philip Melanchton and Matthias Flacius Illyricus (these just so happen to be the dissertation topics of these distinguished doctors, so it's sure to be a good conversation). Before getting to the battle royale, though, the guys talk Avengers and contemporary story telling in the Free-for-all. A huge thanks to Dr. Scott Keith for joining us! We had a great time and hope we can do it again.

Wade and Mike sit down in the studio to discuss Philip K. Dick's article How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later. Wade admits that they should've probably had Dr. Davis on for this one (he joined the guys previously on Episode 85: The Guys Get Sci-Fi). And although the discussion may have been better with him, we hope you'll enjoy it even without him. (And for our Dr. Davis fans out there, don't fret; we have plans to get him back on one of these days!)

00:00 - Introduction 04:02 - Free-for-All (Place you'd most like to record an episode) 12:09 - Main Topic (This is Water) On episode ONE HUNDRED (they finally did it) of Let the Bird Fly! the guys sit down (sans Ben despite their best efforts to get him there) to discuss the commencement address This is Water by David Foster Wallace. They've mentioned Wallace on previous episodes and even dedicated an entire episode to his Consider the Lobster. Before diving into the main topic, the guys decided to commemorate their (official) 100th episode by asking the question Where would you most like to record an episode. Wade takes them to Detroit (because Wade), Mike doesn't know the capital of Albania, and Peter is a bit salty that they're not recording in West Allis (don't worry, though, they made it there right after recording). But the real reason they got together was to discuss the talk by David Foster Wallace, and that they do. If you'd like to listen to Wallace's This is Water, you can do so right here; and if you'd like to read it, you can find the text right here. We would like to thank all of our listeners for joining the conversation over the past couple of years. It's amazing that we've made it to 100 (official) episodes and no one is more surprised by that than we are. It's been a fun ride. We hope you've been digging it as much as we have. Thank you for all of your support. Your emails. Your comments. Your reviews. Your sharing. Your well-wishes. Your episode (and Free-for-All) ideas. But most of all, thank you for letting us into your conversations and for joining us in ours. This has been a tremendous blessing for us, and we wouldn't be doing it without you and your support.

00:00 - Introduction 07:40 - Main Topic (Easter 2) On episode NINETY-NINE (point FIVE) of Let the Bird Fly! Wade and Mike sit down to discuss the often forgotten celebration of the second week of Easter. If you're keeping track at home you might wonder why this is not episode 100. Well, give it a listen and you'll hear their lame excuse. You'll also hear Mike and Wade elaborate on a topic that the guys touched on way back in Episode 52 with guest Rev. John Bortulin. It was Holy Week as the guys recorded, so time was tight. This means that they cut out the Free-for-All, which may leave you wondering how you can get them to celebrate Holy Week every week.

00:00 - Introduction 02:49 - Free-for-All (MLB 2019: An Early Review) 08:39 - Main Topic (On the Commodification of People) On episode NINETY-NINE of Let the Bird Fly! Wade hijacks the podcast and forces Mike and Peter to discuss the commodification of people. You might be surprised to find out that despite Wade's attempt to spring a topic on the guys, they managed to still find plenty to talk about. But first they decided to talk more baseball (can you tell they're all excited about their teams this season?) with a far-too-early review of the MLB season so far.

On episode SEVENTY-SIX of Let the Bird Fly! the guys are thrilled to be joined by Rev. Dr. John Pless of Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN, as well as by returning guest Rev. Bror Erickson. But they're not only joined by these two fantastic guests, they are also joined by a live audience, as this episode was recorded at the 2018 Here We Still Stand conference, which was held in October of 2018.  Recording in front of a live audience changes things a bit, but perhaps the biggest challenge for Wade was being told he had to keep it to 40 minutes! So with guests of this caliber and a limited time, they cut right to the chase, skipping the Scripture Narrative and the Free-for-All. Instead the guys get right to the business of discussing Hermann Sasse, a theologian that both Dr. Pless and Rev. Erickson have a wealth of knowledge about. As always, we're grateful to the 1517 podcasting network, but we are especially thankful for giving us the opportunity to record this episode at the Here We Still Stand conference. Speaking of the 1517 Podcast Network, they have a newly released series entitled The Soul of Christianity, that you should check out. It's a 12 part series on the Apostle's Creed, which is hosted by Debi Winrich and Dan van Voorhis. And while you're at it, make sure to check out all the great podcast in the 1517 Podcast Network.

This is a live recording from the 2018 Here We Still Stand Conference. Chad and Daniel are joined by guests Erick Sorenson and Michael Heiser to discuss Numbers 21:4-9. The people are complaining and God brings judgment in the form of deadly serpents. The cure is to have a bronze snake put on a pole. Why is this happening and how does it point to Christ and explain John 3:16? They talk about it in this special episode. Have a listen!

Adam Morton to discuss Imago Dei (or specifically what it means to be created in the image of God). The guys recorded this episode will at the Here We Still Stand 2018 conference, which was held in October of 2018. Rev. Morton was gracious enough to sit down with the guys not once, but twice (you'll see what we mean a little over 30 minutes into the episode). Rev. Morton is currently working on his doctorate at the University of Nottingham. As is our want, however, we make you suffer through a Free-for-All before getting to the Main Topic. In this episode we bring back a favorite from way back on Episode 3: pitcher hits or designated hitter. After roundly beating Wade, however, we move on to a wonderful conversation with Rev. Morton.

The Reformation will not be televised! This ain't no tupperware party. This ain't no Elk's club, shopping channel, or that nice vase from Grandma you placed in the corner just enough to be seen but not enough to be showcased. This is Ringside where the Reformation that is the Gospel of Jesus, still marches onward into deathbeds in hospitals, living rooms of the common folk, dorm rooms of lost boys and the flowerbeds of lonely humans. Ringside comes to you live from the Here We Still Stand 500th Anniversary of the Reformation conference put on by 1517legacy.com and ChristHoldFast! Take a listen TOPICS: 1. Is there a new crisis that needs a new 95 theses? Is there a new devil in the Church that needs to be addressed? Is there a new controversy or false teaching? Or are the concerns of the reformation, the Gospel, still the central concerns of the Church and the central teaching Satan is attacking? 2. Did the reformation come out of a culture surrounded by death unlike today? Did people care more about what God thinks and where they go when they die back then? Do people care now? Do they care about the reformation? GAME SHOW! Which Luther Said it? Martin Luther or Luther Van Dross? 3. Did the Reformation's domestication of Christianity go too far? Are churches so concerned about our every day life that they only preach on 7 steps to better parenting, business management, sex life? 4. Are we done? Did we get it right?
