  • Outstanding

    Pastor Andrew Preus cuts through the noise. He talks straight about the clash between Scripture and the culture and doesn’t sugarcoat anything. The theology is solid, the analysis is sharp, and he never bends to whatever the world wants you to believe. This is what clear teaching and honest commentary sounds like. This shows you what it means to live as a Christian in a confused world. This is very worth your time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are You in the WRONG Church? The Truth About Faith, Fellowship & Hardened Hearts
Q: What practical steps can a listener take to strengthen their faith and avoid spiritual constipation in a confessional Lutheran context?
Engage with catechetical resources (Small and Large Catechisms), connect with neighboring confessional churches, participate in convocations, and foster personal verses-by-verse study and prayer.
Are You in the WRONG Church? The Truth About Faith, Fellowship & Hardened Hearts
Q: What should someone do if they feel their heart is hardened—are they beyond salvation?
They are not toast; the gospel provides comfort and a path to repentance, with continued emphasis on hearing the Word, receiving the Sacraments, and seeking spiritual support, without despair.
Are You in the WRONG Church? The Truth About Faith, Fellowship & Hardened Hearts
Q: Are you hearing a pure Word of God and the Sacraments in your church, and is that sufficient to identify the true church?
Yes, the hosts answer that the purity of the Word and the proper administration of the Sacraments identify the church, and where those are present, the Spirit works faith, making that congregation the church.
Has the Lutheran Church Lost Her Love for Christ?
Q: Has the Lutheran Church lost its love of Christ?
The host argues that when the church forgets the gospel and treats justification as just another doctrine, the first love is lost; renewal comes from returning to the central message of Christ's atonement and the proper distinction between law and gospel.
Has the Lutheran Church Lost Her Love for Christ?
Q: What is honoring your father and mother? And what is not honoring your father and mother?
Honoring your parents means recognizing they are given by God, treating their faults with mercy, and not using their mistakes to broadcast your own redemption; it also includes acknowledging that one's ultimate trust is in God and His Word, which can guide you even when parents fall short.
