Listeners Say

Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.

Consistently informative for pastors and lay listeners interested in confessional Lutheranism.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Simul justus et peccator."
Q: What is your understanding of the end times and the new heaven and new earth?
The texts about the new heaven and new earth are best read as poetry and pictures describing redeemed creation rather than a literal, one-to-one replication of current physicality; the fundamental truth is that creation will be redeemed and transformed, with the eternal life of believers rooted in the resurrection of the body rather than a purely spiritual afterlife.
"Don't Christians need to support Israel?"
Q: Do we need to support the modern nation state of Israel for theological reasons?
No. The speakers argue that biblical Israel refers to the people of faith—the church across time—while political Zionism is a separate matter. Support for Israel can be political without defining who Israel is theologically.
