Released From Wanting the Wrong Stuff (Rebroadcast)

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 the temptation of Jesus by the devil in the wilderness in Matthew 4, including practicing reading the scriptures with imagination, and how temptation will be gone in the resurrection. Then, Pastor Warren Graff joins in to talk about understanding the world around us in this age of secularism and materialism and how it denies the day of judgment, the idea that people innately know there’s a last day because of how we build infrastructure and give gifts, and how guilt plays into all of this.

Guest Rev. Warren Graff from Grace Lutheran Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico, joins host Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller, Senior Pastor at Hope Lutheran Church in Aurora, Colorado, 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.
