Thinking Fellows has been one of the greatest encouragements in my life the last few years. I found it when Rod Rosenblat went missing from the White Horse Inn. Studying Martin Luther in 2017 and preaching through Galatians did a lot to create an apatite in my heart for Lutheran theology. I'm more ready to not only talk about forgiveness but to deliver it in Jesus' name thanks to the Thinking Fellows. May they ever continue delivering the sweet sweet gospel with rough edges a la Martin Luther!
I’ve been a Christian for most of my life and went from the Baptist to the reformed traditions. The Thinking Fellows has been an education in the scriptures. Initially I was extremely wary of anything Lutheran (because of the ELCA). The foundation here is Christ himself. You’re in good hands with these podcasters!
Most denominations accept as truth whatever their spiritual founder wrote down. Unfortunately any errors seem to be locked in forever even when a plain reading of the Bible says something different.
I really enjoy listening to them they are fun informative and I look forward to their new Podcast
This is one of my go to podcasts to listen to while I get swoll in the gym. Down to earth discussion and humor on topics of the faith.
