  • Appreciated and Insightful

    I appreciate these podcasts; I have listened to many of them. Mike and Wade are knowledgeable and share interesting , helpful insight. At times, Wade’s “birdwalks” (off topic interruptions) and inside jokes can be distracting. Yet, the back & forth between the hosts helps you to better understand who they are; this is good! Because of their intellectual gifts, there are times when they use terms that go over the head of the average listener like me. Perhaps they can briefly offer a quick explana... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 336: The Council of Nicaea, Creeds, and Christological Controversies
Q: Why is it important to maintain the unity of God while also insisting on the deity of Christ?
The crux of the issue lies in articulating how the Son of God is divine, while maintaining that He is distinct from the Father.
Episode 302: AI and Lutheran Theology, Part 2 (with Prof. Lauren Dunn)
Q: What do you gain with AI and what do you lose?
You're gaining time but potentially losing the genuine human experience and community, which are vital for growth and learning.
Episode 302: AI and Lutheran Theology, Part 2 (with Prof. Lauren Dunn)
Q: What do you want to add to our first discussion on AI and being a Lutheran professor?
I think the meaning disappears when this end product is created by AI, and it can provide the right answers but lacks the genuine value of human interaction.
Episode 269: Christianity and Paganism
Q: Is it fair to say that the Christians borrowed these things?
No, in fact, it's even more real in the myth; that's what Lewis would argue, because there is this, you're not, the myth is telling you of a very real desire of a very real resurrection and salvation.
Episode 269: Christianity and Paganism
Q: Would our resident Pagan like to say anything as we begin?
Yeah, I'm looking for my hammer of Thor as we speak.
