What is to be done with a prophet who doesn’t want to be a prophet?  What is to be done with a man who would rather die than see his enemies receive the Gospel of Christ Jesus?  What is to be done with a scoundrel who even after he is raised out of the depths of Sheol, maybe even from death itself, still despises the things of forgiveness and life eternal for the other guy?  Well, oddly enough, this man still needs Jesus, too.  And wouldn’t you know it?  Jesus is for Jonah, just as he is for the heathens of Nineveh, just as He is for you.  Join us as we plumb the depths of a good for nothing prophet who Jesus Himself shows to be the quintessential picture of His death and resurrection.

What is The Uncultured Saints?

We’re told the same thing over and over. Christianity doesn’t fit with today’s culture. The thing is, it isn’t the culture saying it. It’s the church. We’ve done a great job figuring out what we’re not. Sometimes we forget what we are. We’re the saints, washed in the blood of the lamb. We’re sinners Jesus made holy. This defines us. There are places Christianity doesn’t fit with today’s culture because Christianity isn’t bound by culture. We’re free in Christ to be uncultured. Not against it. Not apart from it. Undefined by it, because we’re defined by something greater. Join Pr. Goodman and Pr. Lietzau, the uncultured saints, as we tackle today’s issues through the lens of the Lutheran Confessions and find answers to today’s questions rooted in a timeless truth in Christ.
