He is the author of four monographs: "Wordsworth Profession: Form, Class, and the Logic of Romantic Cultural Production," "Romantic Moods: Paranoia, Trauma, and Melancholy, 1790-1840," "Minding the Modern: Human Agency, Intellectual Traditions, and Responsible Knowledge," and "Incomprehensible Certainty: Metaphysics and Hermeneutics of the Image." ​In this conversation, Thomas and I explored theological aesthetics through a focus on the distinction between pictures and images and especially how images mediate spiritual realities. We discussed the transformative potential of art, the role of attention in perceiving the deeper meaning of images, and the implications of apophatic theology in understanding visual culture. Our dialogue also touched on viewing nature and art through a sacramental lens, the impact of consumerism on perception, and the need for humility and wonder to reclaim the mystical dimensions of images and their connection to the divine.

Oh MAN, you are in for a treat this week! I have not one, but two incredible guests joining me: Randy Frazee and Gisela Kreglinger. Randy is the lead teaching pastor at Westside Family Church in Kansas City and a visionary in Bible engagement, spiritual formation, and building biblical community. He's the architect behind The Story and Believe church engagement campaigns and the author of books like The Joy Challenge and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus. Gisela grew up on a winery in Franconia, Germany, where her family has been crafting wine for generations. She holds multiple degrees in Biblical Studies and a PhD in Historical Theology from the University of St Andrews. Her passion lies at the intersection of food, faith, and joy, which she explores through her writing, teaching, and wine pilgrimages. Together, they are the brilliant minds behind Wine in the Word, a Bible study that explores the theology of wine, its biblical significance, and how it connects with the Christian life.  This conversation was unlike anything I've ever had on the show. It was thought-provoking, eye-opening, and honestly, I could've talked to these two for hours! Get ready for a super fascinating discussion! 4:27 – Randy 101 • Lead pastor for 36 years • Writer and author  • Husband, father and grandfather • Working on this project with Gisela 6:03 – Gisela 101 • Growing up on a winery • Theologian, teacher, and writer  • Wine tastings and pilgrimages  7:24 – The Story Behind “Wine In The Word”  • Randy and Gisela's backgrounds • How this collaboration came to be • Wine as a bridge builder  13:55 – The Role Of Wine In The Bible • The historical context of wine in America • Wine consumption in Christian context • Reclaiming wine as a gift from God • Teaching your children to have a healthy relationship with wine 26:54 – “Holy Tipsiness” • Wine as a social lubricant • An invitation to community + sharing God's gifts • Addressing opposition to wine consumption  45:25 – Takeaways  • Teaching about wine in a healthy, biblical context  • Learn more about Wine In The Word • Randy and Gisela's prayer for this study FEATURED QUOTES “I just feel like it's time that we stop looking at wine through the lens of our culture.” - Randy Frazee “Wine is really an invitation to community, to sharing the gifts of God. You know, wine and bread and all food that the earth brings forth are gifts from God. They are not just things out there that we need to eat. They're actually God's love language.” – Gisela Kreglinger “You don't even have to drink or like wine, but you should know about what wine is teaching us in God.” - Randy Frazee “We as the church have always been called to show how to live and how to live well as God has intended it, and I think we need to do that.” – Gisela Kreglinger +++ Wine in the Word: https://www.randyfrazee.com/wine-in-the-word Learn more about Randy: https://www.randyfrazee.com/ Randy's Books: https://www.randyfrazee.com/books Westside Family Church: https://www.westsidefamily.church/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RandyeFrazee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/randyfrazee LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/randy-frazee-43bb1545/ Learn more about Gisela: https://www.thespiritualityofwine.com/ Gisela's Books and Articles: https://www.thespiritualityofwine.com/publications Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gisela.kreglinger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giselakreglinger/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gisela-h-kreglinger-615a2910/ Connect with me:  http://www.stillbeingmolly.com  http://instagram.com/stillbeingmolly http://instagram.com/canilaughpod http://twitter.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/canilaughpod http://tiktok.com/@stillbeingmolly    GET YOUR COPY of ‘IF I DON'T LAUGH, I'LL CRY” TODAY: Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/IIDLICbn  Amazon: https://amzn.to/48VYFkG  ChristianBook: https://bit.ly/IIDLICcb  Target: https://bit.ly/3Shh3Q2 Walmart: https://bit.ly/3MmGVpJ Indie Bound: https://bit.ly/IIDLICib Audible: https://amzn.to/3ITcdm8  Kindle: https://amzn.to/3ITaSvv  About Can I Laugh On Your Shoulder?

Reformed Brotherhood | Sound Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Brotherly Love

In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony delve into Article 24 of John Knox's Scots Confession, focusing on the role and responsibilities of civil magistrates. The hosts explore Knox's perspective on the divine ordination of government structures and leaders, as well as the Christian's response to those in authority. They wrestle with Knox's strong assertions about honoring and loving civil leaders, even when their personal values or policies may seem at odds with biblical principles. The conversation transitions into a broader discussion about how modern Christians approach the intersection of faith and politics. Jesse and Tony reflect on the tension between respecting governmental offices and responding to the individuals who occupy them, particularly when their actions conflict with Christian values. They challenge listeners to think deeply about how they pray for their leaders, emphasizing the importance of personal, specific prayers for those in authority, regardless of political or ideological differences. The episode also revisits critical scriptural passages, such as Romans 13 and 1 Timothy 2, offering practical insights into how believers can faithfully navigate their relationship with civil authority. With a thought-provoking blend of theological reflection and practical application, this episode invites listeners to consider how they can embody Christ's love and truth in their engagement with government and leaders. Key Points: John Knox's Perspective on Civil Magistrates: The hosts examine Knox's assertion that civil magistrates are God's lieutenants, ordained for the preservation of order and the promotion of true religion. They analyze his strong call to honor and love those in authority, even when their actions may seem antagonistic to Christian values. The Christian's Responsibility Toward Leaders: The discussion emphasizes the need for Christians to respect not only governmental offices but also the individuals who occupy them. Jesse and Tony call for a more personal approach to prayer, advocating for specific intercessions for leaders' salvation and wisdom. Scriptural Foundations for Civil Authority: Drawing on Romans 13 and 1 Timothy 2, the episode highlights the biblical call to pray for those in authority, affirming that God's sovereignty extends to the appointment of both offices and individuals. The hosts reflect on the tension between submitting to authority and standing firm in biblical truth. Practical Encouragement for Believers: Jesse and Tony urge listeners to engage with their local leaders by learning their names, praying for them specifically, and even reaching out to offer spiritual support. They stress the importance of aligning civic engagement with biblical principles of love, prayer, and submission to God's sovereignty. Questions for Reflection: How does your understanding of God's sovereignty influence the way you think about civil authorities and leaders? In what ways can you pray more specifically and personally for the leaders in your community? How can you balance honoring civil authorities while remaining faithful to biblical principles when their policies conflict with your beliefs? What steps can you take to engage with your local leaders and offer them spiritual support? How might John Knox's perspective on civil magistrates challenge or affirm your current views on faith and politics?
