  • Great Theology, Great Chemistry

    These two were an excellent resource during my catechesis as a young adult Lutheran convert. Their recall of scripture and ability to give succinct answers to these questions always impresses me. They work well together and fill in each other’s knowledge gaps when needed.

  • God Be Praised

    Pastor Wolfmueller and Pastor Packer are a breath of fresh air. While remaining solidly confessional in their delivery, they present as approachable, caring - you know, pastoral. That cannot always be said for many confessional pastors who would rather just throw theology at you than care for the needs and wellbeing (even the emotions!!) of their parishioners. Thank you for this!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A: How Should We Respond to the 2026 Midterm Elections? Do Our Earthly Lives Have Meaning? Is It Wrong to Delay Seminary? More.
Q: What would you recommend to someone who is experiencing such difficulties?
They recommend speaking with a pastor and meditating on biblical passages such as Revelation 14:13 and Matthew 25. They explain that God remembers faithful works and that earthly relationships and individual lives are not reduced to meaninglessness in eternal life.
Q&A: How Should We Respond to the 2026 Midterm Elections? Do Our Earthly Lives Have Meaning? Is It Wrong to Delay Seminary? More.
Q: How should Christians respond to people feeling that way this morning?
Christians can recognize that elections and policies affect people's lives while trusting that Jesus rules over all authorities. They should pray for elected leaders, give thanks, and avoid despair or allowing anger to be exploited.
Q&A: What Does it Mean to be Lutheran? How Should Christians View the Death Penalty? Should Pastors be Celibate? More
Q: What does it mean to be a Lutheran?
Bryan Wolfmueller describes Lutheranism as a confession within Christianity that teaches salvation is God's work, rejects human merit, and emphasizes that God gives forgiveness and salvation through the Word and sacraments.
Q&A: What Does it Mean to be Lutheran? How Should Christians View the Death Penalty? Should Pastors be Celibate? More
Q: How should Christians view the death penalty?
The hosts say Scripture authorizes capital punishment, especially for murder, while emphasizing that it must be administered justly and based on sound evidence. They distinguish repentance and forgiveness from the temporal consequences of crime.
Q&A: Can You Ask Saints to Pray for You? How Should We Respond to Visions? Olt Testament Typology? More.
Q: What are the consequences of a memorialist view of communion?
They explain that a memorialist view denies the gifts they believe Christ gives in the Supper, including his body and blood for forgiveness. Other means of grace remain, but knowingly attending a church that rejects this teaching can undermine assurance, trouble the conscience, and make it harder to receive the preached Word; they advise seeking a church that administers the sacraments rightly.
