Thinking Fellows

In this episode of Thinking Fellows, Caleb Keith, Scott Keith, Bruce Hillman, and Adam Francisco discuss common objections to the Protestant Reformation. They discuss whether Luther caused division in the church and whether the Reformation destroyed the sacraments, explaining why Lutherans believe the Reformation restored the biblical teaching of justification by faith alone and the proper use of God's gifts. They also explore the differences between Lutheran and Roman Catholic theology, especially the distinction between law and gospel, and why the Reformation remains worth celebrating.

In this episode of Thinking Fellows, Caleb Keith, Scott Keith, and Adam Francisco welcome Wes Huff to discuss how we got the Bible. They explain how the Old and New Testament books were passed down, recognized as Scripture, and preserved by generations of Christians. They also discuss how historians use ancient manuscripts to study the Bible and why other writings, such as the Gnostic gospels, were not included in the canon. The conversation highlights the work of faithful scribes, translators, and Christians who have helped preserve and share God's Word through the centuries. This episode was recorded live at Here We Still Stand 26 conference in San Diego.

In this episode of the Thinking Fellows, Caleb Keith, Scott Keith, Adam Francisco, and Bruce Hillman discuss how to explain the Christian faith in 60 seconds or less. They explain why the most important message is that Jesus died for our sins and rose again, and how the Apostles' Creed and Luther's Small Catechism help Christians understand and share what they believe. They also discuss why sharing the faith doesn't have to mean debating strangers or having all the answers, but can happen naturally through our everyday vocations, especially with family and friends.
At ~6m50s, Scott also admits that Adam is right.

Caleb Keith

In this episode of Thinking Fellows, Caleb Keith, Scott Keith, Bruce Hillman, and Adam Francisco discuss whether the internet has contributed to the decline of Christianity and religious participation. They talk about how the internet can give us endless information while pulling us away from real community, personal relationships, and the authority of the church. They also explain why Christians should use the internet to proclaim Christ while still pointing people toward the local church, where the Gospel is preached and Christ's gifts are given through Word and Sacrament.
