Eusebius records Clement’s story about St. John after he returned from Patmos. It will equip your mind and bring comfort to the soul of anyone who thinks they are beyond forgiveness. There is much for the church to learn from the loving actions of the elderly apostle, especially given that the world thinks we live in a post-Christian era. Is that true? Do we? Learn about this, and more in this episode!

Damar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest sparked a public display of prayer. But why don’t we see more Christian behavior in the public? Find out how our death-obscuring façade and gospel-hiding basket minimize our public displays of Christian identity, so we can avoid being foolish disciples and walk on Christ’s narrow path.

Associating with Pagans | Cross Defense

The truth of Scripture frees us to be bold like St. Matthew who had the audacity to include the magi in his gospel account. I counsel a Christian brother about using the words and actions of unbelievers as Gospel handles to bring honor to God. Can the worldly be taken captive by God in the confession of the faith?

Fear at Christmas?

This is the video version of Pastor Bramwell’s December 2022 letter to St. Mark.

If the divinity of Christ terrifies you, if His majesty crushes you, then think on His humanity. Consider that God Almighty came to you as an infant. He loves you. At His Nativity, we see that Jesus came to comfort and confirm the repentant conscience.

Ancient Apocalypse, The Flood, and the Migdal of Babel | Cross Defense

Listen every Saturday at 9 AM (Pacific) at KFUO.org or on your favorite podcast app.

Graham Hancock’s hit Netflix show, Ancient Apocalypse, has stirred up controversy. It goes against mainstream science and is all about the memory of a global flood preserved in mankind’s ancient structures. Did an advanced pre-flood civilization exist? Did they teach post-flood people groups their technology? What does this have to do with the pyramids and the stars? Excite your theological imaginations and let’s get into the book of Genesis for some answers.

Luther Classical College’s November mailer continues the conversation about Sunday School and the parental responsibility of training children in the Christian faith. But why do pastors care so much about this? Martin Luther and C.F.W. Walther articulate the answer. Christian parents matter to kids!

Christian Nationalism | Cross Defense

Listen every Saturday at 9 AM (Pacific) at KFUO.org or on your favorite podcast app.

Journalists say Christian Nationalism is on the rise. What is it? How is the term used? Do people want to be associated with it? The Augsburg Confession is a helpful place to start the conversation. Plus, we learn about the faithfulness of our third-century Christian brother, Alexamenos, and overcoming verbal allergens.
