High stakes and emotions regarding national politics produce situations Christians must meaningfully and thoughtfully navigate. Christians are embodied and specifically located creatures with vocations that demand political conciseness and often involvement. Yet these political situations and outcomes are not the object or sum of the faith. This episode explores the consequences of winning and losing elections and how Christian involvement and thought distinguish between faith and vocation so that we do not trust in princes but in Christ while faithfully serving our neighbors.

Spirituality is not a friend of Christianity. More and more people abandon Christianity while maintaining spiritual beliefs, practices, or superstitions. Dr. Michael Horton joins the Thinking Fellows to discuss the deep history and gnostic roots of the spiritual problems in the West today. Dr. Horton has researched and addressed this topic in numerous ways over the last 30 years and has compiled his expertise into a new volume of books on the subject. The first of the volumes, Shaman and Sage: The Roots of Spiritual But Not Religious, is available now.

In this week's episode, Scott, Bruce, and Caleb discuss the doctrine of election. They emphasize the importance of God's electing through his Word. This locates election in an external act done for you rather than solely in the mind of God. This Lutheran distinction avoids the pitfall of free choice while not relying on the logical constructs of double predestination.

Caleb and Bruce have a conversation about the doctrine of the church. They work to define how the church is all those with faith in Christ and the gathering of individual believers whom God has called together in specific locations. The conversation focuses on the distribution of the Gospel, which is the unique and essential purpose of gathering together for worship. Bruce and Caleb also emphasize the importance of individual church attendance.

Scott, Adam, and Caleb discuss the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. During the ceremonies, an LGBTQ rendition of the Last Supper was acted out with transexuals and gay icons. This was an apparent offense to Christians all over the world and highlights the destructive religious ideologies at play in our culture today. The Fellows discuss why Christians should not be surprised that their faith is under attack and how they might respond generally and also in their specific vocations.

The Thinking Fellows discuss how the means of grace preserve and sustain us in the faith. The fellows identify how God delivers his saving Word through means and the importance of gathering together to revive God's promises. The power to remain in the faith is a gift that comes from outside of the Christian and not a power from within.

The Thinking Fellows discuss sanctification, a doctrine from which Lutherans and other Protestants differ significantly. Here, we assert that the doing of good works does not accomplish sanctification but instead that good works result from the gift of sanctification already delivered in faith.

Justification is famously called the article upon which the church stands or falls. It is the article upon which The Lutheran Reformation stood boldly and confessed the Scriptural truth that we are made right before God by grace through faith on account of Christ alone. The Thinking Fellows address the central concepts that help us orginze and understand justification as a doctrine whihc the church not only teaches but proclaims boldly.

The Thinking Fellows discuss the doctrine of faith. Faith is not an ability or power inside of you but a gift from God. They highlight how faith and its gifts are given as a certainty, not as a series of lifelong questions and challenges. God has given and preserved your faith by the power of his Word and Spirit and not by your will or works.

The Thinking Fellows introduce the doctrine of Christ. They discuss why topics like the two natures in Christ, the communication of attributes, and the co-equality of the trinity matter. The Fellows describe why this doctrine can be summarised quickly in creeds or explored extensively in tomes.

The Thinking Fellows discuss the doctrine of man. What is humanity? What is human nature? What does it mean that man is sinful? These essential theological questions are building blocks of dogmatic theology in that they reveal the broken relationship between humanity and God. The doctrine of man sends us to our need for a savior and redemption.
