Welcome to Banned Books, where we read and converse with the rebel children, the holy mischief-makers of God, who fight against the kind of useless religious, spiritual, and moral methods of life improvement that seeks to smother the glory of God in Jesus Christ.

I always thought present day Lutherans were woke they/thems until I stumbled upon 1517 podcasts. Now I subscribe to all their podcast and hear the gospel daily.
I love these guys! They are the ones who always proclaim I'm forgiven of my sins, no matter who they are reviewing. And the coffee is great! I truly owe them a beer in heaven! Jesus has been gracious to deliver His grace from these sheepdogs. No one knows the trouble I've seen...Nobody knows but Jesus!
A long format that is easy to listen to! I have so much to learn.
I am looking for well-informed podcasts on Flannery O’Connor. This wasn’t one of them. The podcasters said Flannery O’Connor had a PhD. She didn’t.

So many great nuggets of wisdom come out of their discussions.
