What does Jerusalem represent in the Gospel of Luke? How does the journey to the cross shape our understanding of discipleship? In this episode of I Love to Tell the Story, we explore the significance of Jerusalem as a central character in Luke's narrative, the cost of discipleship, and the challenges of rejection and conflict that followers of Jesus face. As we approach Ash Wednesday, this conversation invites preachers and ministry leaders to reflect on the perseverance required in faith and the realities of following Jesus.

From the sublimity of the Blumhardts and Nenilava to the ridiculousness of American revivalism. Let's face it, a revival is never honored in its own country. In this episode, these two American theologians trace the irritating history of how Heinrich Bullinger of Zurich (where else?) corrupted Luther's doctrine of the new birth, setting off a chain reaction that bounced from stark Puritan double predestination to the hysterical self-determination of American revival religion, and pretty much everything else American, too. Like it or not, we're all revivalists now. Notes: 1. Dad's article "The Doctrine of the New Birth from Bullinger to Edwards" explains all 2. Check out The Book of Concord and do a word search on "regeneration"... prepare to be amazed 3. Gritsch, Born Againism 4. Phil Cary, Good News for Anxious Christians 5.
