The God Whisperers

This week’s God Whisperers is a 3rd microphone edition with Michael “Internet Monk” Spencer. Michael has written a provocative opinion piece published in the Christian Science Monitor (the long version is on the web at internetmonk.com here, here, and here), in which he predicts the collapse of Evangelicalism within 10 years. Listen in on this fascinating conversation.

Closed, close(d), close, open communion and more on this extra edition on the Lord’s Supper.

We can’t get enough of the Lord’s Supper, nor can we stop whispering about it. Today we’re talking a little liturgical nostalgia along with the blessings and benefits and the great material question: How does eating and drinking do such great things, namely, impart forgiveness, life, and salvation? It’s a great question and we take it on here on The God Whisperers.

What are the blessings, benefits, and nutritional value of the Lord’s Supper? We’re glad you asked, and we’re talking about it. Listen in.

More on the Lord’s Supper along with a few observations from the weird, wild, and wacky world of religion.

“Do this in remembrance of me,” Jesus says. We’re going to be unpacking this mandate of our Lord over the next four episodes as we do some whisperings on the Lord’s Supper. In part 1 we take on the big question “What is it?” and get to hear Luther’s comprehensive, all-encompassing, best ever written 5-point answer. Have a listen!

Back from a two-week hiatus that included travel to the frozen tundra of the Midwest along with illness, we’re offering our special Laryngitis Edition of The God Whisperers. Who says we don’t play injured? In this episode we wrap up our discussion of the sacrament of Confession & Absolution with a segment on how to use the Ten Commandments as a mirror (warning: you won’t like what you see), and a Top Ten (eleven actually) list of reasons not to go to confession.

More Confession & Absolution talks on The God Whisperers as Craig continues to revel in our “Manly Drs” phone number. There’s some solid catechism talk here on why we shouldn’t neglect confession & absolution. Tune up your ears and listen.

We’re cracking open the dark door of the confessional on The God Whisperers and talking about the neglected “3rd Sacrament” of the Lutheran churches: Confession and Absolution. What? you say. You always heard there were two sacraments. Time to listen up. Confession is, after all, good for the soul.

We have one more Baptism episode to pull from the water on the God Whisperers. We’re talking about the Word and the water along with faith which trusts the Word in the water plus what Baptism means for daily living. We’ve tying our loose baptismal ends together in this episode. Enjoy.

Join us in our first annual Christmas special of The God Whisperers. We’re talking Christmas hymns, congregational customs, and the Christmas narrative from the Gospel according to St. Luke. A blessed Nativity of Our Lord to all from The God Whisperers. Christ is born! Alleluia!

Oh, we just can’t get enough of Holy Baptism around here at the God Whisperers. We’ve got a flurry of Scriptures coming your way on this “blessings and benefits” episode. Check it out.

More of our total immersion into Holy Baptism. Baptists beware! We’re on a roll here. Check it out.

We’re talking about the water, Word, and Spirit in this first of several episodes on the gift of Holy Baptism.

“Deliver us from evil (or the evil one)” and “Amen” are on the table in this week’s episode of The God Whisperers. What is this evil we are supposed to be delivered from? And what does that word “Amen” mean anyway? We’re wrapping up the Prayer of Jesus, and you’ll want to be listening in on The God Whisperers.
