  • Brilliant mind

    Dr. Paulson has helped me greatly to understand his Outlaw God books that I am slowly going through. He has gone over the first book. I have had to go to many different sources (that the book shows as references) to get a better understanding of what he has written. Deep thoughts and connections that never would have come to me are revealed.

  • Mindblowing and consistently challenging

    The Outlaw God podcast with Steve Paulson and Caleb Keith pushes the edge of what we think about God and pushes us into hearing the proclamation. I started at the beginning and am still catching up while I listen to the new series on the small catechism, but Paulson and Keith consistently cut through mires of my previous evangelical theology and general American cultural philosophy into the God of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. While walking through Paulson’s “Luther’s Outlaw God”, they dive into t... more

  • Evangelical faith

    A deep dive into the reform of our concept of God that happened 500 years ago. It wasn’t a more timely than you think. You are not the sum of your mistakes or accomplishments. You are a child of God in His story, forgiven and redeemed! You have everything you need for the next leap of faith Life will demand of you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Second Use of the Gospel?
Q: Why did God give two trees in the Garden of Eden?
The two trees are there for people to come and talk to God, establishing communication rather than just free will decisions.
Sleeping Jonah
Q: What seems to be going on in his mind or his conscience during this time?
Jonah may be troubled when he sleeps, yet he seems to accomplish an escape enough to be deeply asleep, without concerns.
Starting Backwards
Q: What is the distinction between law and gospel in Luther's teachings?
Luther emphasizes that the law must be understood in context with the gospel, and one cannot separate God's grace from His law; the gospel presents God's desires for redemption amid the law's condemnation.
The Preacher's Question
Q: What is the preacher's question according to Luther?
The preacher's question is, why do some hear and others do not?
