The God Whisperers

GW Pub Crawl, IE conference, tacos, reason, retiring popes, growing up in Nazi Germany, steak marinade, a Nagel sermon, Antinomianism and the 3rd use of the Law.  And this:

“Helping believers drink and drinkers believe.”™

Sponsors:  Gold Bond Powder, Mo Hotta Mo Betta Chipotle en Adobo Sauce

Music:

“If I Had a Million  Dollars” – Barenaked Ladies

“Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” – Gordon Lightfoot

“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” – Monty Python

“Jesus is a Friend of Mine” –  Sonseed

Baby baptisms, The Birth Control Movie, Mysticism vs Prophesy, the “3rd Use of the Law” Lutheran Style with cameo appearances by Bill Shatner, Mr. Rogers, and Foghorn Leghorn.  Yup.

The Manly Doctors consider child communion practices, the video “Ordain a Lady,” Anthony Bourdain and chefs, the handling of sushi, and the proper distinction of the Law and the Gospel from the Formula of Concord.  With cameo appearances by Foghorn Leghorn.

Get your Yule on and join the Manly Doctors of Divinity in a GW Christmas.  Some of this, some of that, and a little more.  Merry Christmas to GW Nation.  Thanks for listening.  Christ is born to save you.  Alleluia!

The GW combine a Don Tiki island vibe with some rock solid Lutheran theology in a pre-Christmas Advent binge of listening adventure including:  The true history of Festivus, John the Baptizer and his baptism, marriage, land contracts, and other marital musings, the distinction of flesh and Spirit in Romans 7 and 8, and a riff on good works from the Formula of Concord.

Don Tiki meets the Barenaked Ladies for an episode chock full of holiday goodness.  Advent customs, contrariness, and craziness along with article IV of the Formula and the necessity of salvation for good works.  A little something for everyone.

In the first half:  Dave Ramsey, P90X and drinking, shirtlessness on Facebook, listerner email, and whatever happened to Craig’s guide to Christian dating.  In the back half:  what is this “faith” that is counted as righteousness and why is it alone?  Also some Dropkick Murphys and a few other gems.

Listener email, Formula article II on crass Pelagians, not so crass Pelagians, free will and “simul.”  And, for dessert, Dragon Fruit.  It’ll make sense once you listen.  Sort of.

Music creds:

A Boy Named Sue – Johnny Cash

Song That Goes Like This – Monty Python

In a special all Barenaked Ladies edition, the Manly Doctors take one for Team Jesus with a scintillating discussion of Free Will (Formula of Concord Article II), their pastors conference in Palm  Springs, and beating on the usual array of dead horses:  Manichaeism, Pelagianism, Semi-Pelagianism, and 5 Point Calvinism.  And don’t forget your Go Team Jesus megaphone and popcorn holder.

A fragrant edition of the God Whisperers in which the Manly Doctors ponder Calvinism and “irresistible Grace,” correct a few misconception, deal with “biblical diets,” original sin, and whether garlic juice is capable of demagnetizing iron or Calvinists.  Also a little Bohemian Rhapsody and some more Squirrel Nut Zippers.  An episode befitting the stinking rose.
