Merry Christmas! In this episode, Tim and Lewis return with much laughter and not a lot of sense. It is Christmas Eve, after all. And that's okay.

In this episode, Tim and Lewis talk about social media etiquette and how certain people don't understand character, the third use of the Law, sanctification, and a bunch of other stuff. Also, Lewis sort of swears. It's not horrible. The swear, not the episode. The episode is garbage. Listen in!

In this episode, Tim and Lewis parse a tweet that makes no sense whatsoever. They then try to answer a question from Chris, but end up ranting for most of the episode. And apparently, Lewis likes to sing in a high register on Sunday nights. It's a doozy.  Opening music: Listener, "Eyes to the Ground for Change" Closing Music: Jovan Mackenzy, "Reformata"   Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, email us , or go to our website, all for more information.

Tim and Lewis actually take the opportunity to answer a couple of questions from Katie and Cliff... from last year... because no one sends us questions anymore since we were off the air and then came back. It's okay. We still love you. We just want your questions, ok? 'Cuz then we're more likely to talk about the things YOU care about and not just whatever we want... which is interesting to us, but probably no one else.   Opening music: Listener, "Eyes to the Ground for Change" Closing Music: Jovan Mackenzy, "Reformata"   Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, email us , or go to our website, all for more information.

In this episode, Tim and Lewis talk about the world, "Christian culture," the culture of the Church, how to think, how to act, sanctification, conforming to the mind of Christ, and bad Holy Week practices, including a funeral for Jesus.

Oh, man. I can't believe it's been 4 months! That's crazy! And you're still here? You're still listening to us? Wow. You're impressive. Obviously, a scholar and a gentleman/gentlewoman. Lewis and Tim are back in the episode, talking about life, Trump, and the pursuit of happyness [sic]. Just kidding. They're just up to their old antics.   Opening music: Listener, "Eyes to the Ground for Change"; Thin Lizzy, "The Boys Are Back in Town" Closing Music: Jovan Mackenzy, "Reformata"   Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, email us , or go to our website, all for more information.

  Everything you wanted to know about the film Fare with writer/director/actor Thomas Torrey.  We give spoilers; Thomas explains everything he was aiming for and the risks he wanted to take; and we talk marriage, love, C.S. Lewis, and the message and purpose of good art.  Tim is very excited about this one.

What in the world?  A Boars episode?  It's only been two months.  A short episode where Tim gets annoyed with mixing the State and the Church.   Opening music: Listener, "Eyes to the Ground for Change" Other: Bruce Cockburn, "When You Give It Away" Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, email us , or go to our website, all for more information.

The return of Good Tweet/Bad Tweet! Other podcasts may copy what we're doing, but we're the original. I mean, we're no good at it, but whatever. Tim and Lewis talk about quizzes from women.com (here, here, and here) about what it means to be Lutheran (you don't have to get 100% to listen to our show, but it helps). Then, they play Good Tweet/Bad Tweet and go over some Christian MeMEs. It's ridiculous.   Lewis' First MeME Tim's First MeME Lewis' Second MeME Tim's Second MeME   Opening music: Listener, "Eyes to the Ground for Change" Closing Music: Jovan Mackenzy, "Reformata"   Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, email us , or go to our website, all for more information.

In yet one more topical episode, Tim and Lewis talk about some very difficult things and decisions regarding a pastor who falls away from the right teaching of Christ. We also talk about the Biblical qualifications, or descriptions, of a pastor. And we ask, too, shouldn't we be more thoughtful with these things before they occur. It's a good discussion; we hope you enjoy it.   Opening music: Listener, "Eyes to the Ground for Change" Closing Music: Jovan Mackenzy, "Reformata"   Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, email us , or go to our website, all for more information.

In this episode, Tim and Lewis chat about Advent, the importance of the liturgical tradition, and a bit about Liberal Fundamentalism (which is what we wanted the show to be about and spend maybe all of 10 minutes on).

In this episode, Tim and Lewis basically talk the US election and bad tweets. There's something about elections that makes bad theology (even from good pastors) prevalent. SMOD cometh without our vote.   Opening music: Listener, "Eyes to the Ground for Change" Closing Music: Jovan Mackenzy, "Reformata"   Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, email us , or go to our website, all for more information.

In this episode, the boys come back to a hopefully regularly scheduled release. They also eschew anything they normally do to talk about the Reformation and its celebratory season, All Saints' Day, and the upcoming U.S. Election. Somehow, they cohosts tie it all together... they think.   Opening music: Listener, "Eyes to the Ground for Change" Closing Music: Jovan Mackenzy, "Reformata"   Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, email us , or go to our website, all for more information.
