A Million Off-Ramps from the Christian Faith (Rebroadcast) — 2019/08/12

Cross Defense: we’re firing up your theological imagination with the comfort of the Gospel and the wisdom of God’s Law.

In the first part of today’s episode, Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller talks about Isaiah 55 and how *efficacious and creative God’s word is, and how even though it feels like we have a million off-ramps from the Christian faith, we only have three enemies: the devil, the world, and the flesh. Then, Rev. Brian Flamme joins in to talk about the Word and the devil, how the very thing the devil attacks is the thing that destroys him. He then goes on to talk about apologetics, the natural knowledge of God versus revealed knowledge of God, and also the arguments that prove God: historical argument, rational argument, 5 arguments from experience, and moral argument.

Guest Rev. Brian Flamme, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Roswell, New Mexico, joins host Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller, Pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church and Jesus Deaf Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas, and author of the book Has American Christianity Failed?, to talk about curious topics to excite the imagination, equip the mind, and comfort the soul with God’s ordering of the world in the Law and Gospel.
