For You Radio

In Genesis we see not just an account of God's creation of the world, but God shows His love for us so much more deeply than that. It is not good for Adam to be alone, but does Adam even know it?

Craig, Troy, and Newly Minted Vicar Josh find their way back to Genesis and discover God's life-giving water that flows forth from Eden for you. Though there are many side-trips discussing the various approaches to this creation account, we nevertheless find God's Word is faithful, beneficial, and true.

Craig and Troy return from a short hiatus in order to return to the account of God's creation of the world and all that is in it. Out of all His creation, mankind stands unique in receiving a special gift of and from God. What is it? Listen in and find out!

Craig and Troy sit down with Corey Wilson, president of Emmaus Theological Seminary in Cleveland, Ohio. What does it take to open a new seminary these days? And why open a new one, when so many others are closing?

But is it that, Craig? Or is it that Troy desires to listen to God's word as the source of truth? Craig and Troy wade into the book of Genesis and the minefield that is the creation and evolution debate.

Whose supper is it? What is given in the supper? What is received in the supper? And why those things in the supper? Craig and Troy discuss THE supper . . . the Lord's Supper.

Why do Lutherans get so excited about the Lord's Supper? Why can't they stop talking about it? The secret lies in the objective reality of it. Craig and Troy talk their way around how God chooses to work from within the world He created, and how He gives spiritual blessings through physical means.

What role does baptism take in mission work? What goes before baptism, and what must come after? Craig and Troy discuss the baptismal life, the life of the Church, and how it all fits into mission.

So the question is, what mode of baptism is valid? And the other question is, who should be doing the baptism? Craig and Troy continue the discussion on how God uses water to do such great things.

Craig and Troy dive into the deep waters (no pun intended) of baptism. Should we baptize infants? Should we never baptize infants? How should we read the whole Bible story so that we can know?

Craig and Troy start a discussion on baptism, water, the Spirit, the Word, and how God works through this all to bring Jesus to you, and to bring you to Him.

The For You Podcast enteres a new era, and Craig and Troy kick it off with a discussion on how God works in our lives through tangible means.

The Day of the Lord ever hastens closer . . . but why hasn't it come yet? When nearly 2000 years have passed from when Jesus said He'd return, what are we supposed to think when He hasn't yet? Craig and Troy finish up with Peter's 2nd epistle.

Craig and Troy return to 2nd Peter, taking a deeper look at the false prophets Peter warns us about. Who are these, and why are they blots and blemishes on the church and her fellowship?

. . . and He also knows how to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment. Craig and Troy step back into 2 Peter, studying the arising of false prophets and our appropriate and bilblical reaction to them. But what can we, as beleivers, expect from God's hand?

Craig and Troy join up with Katie Coblintz to discuss transgender and identity questions. Drawing from her own personal experience as a woman who had been led into living as a trans man for several years, Katie gives a humble and honest account of what it means both to feel uncomfortable in your own body as well as what it means to find our baptismal identity in Christ.

In Christ, Heaven touches earth so that we earthlings might dwell forever in Heaven with Him. But how can you be sure? Peter shows the firm foundation upon which faith stands.

. . . . but that doesn't mean that what you do is of no importance. Craig and Troy work through Peter's admonishment that we "add" to our faith.

Troy is out of the saddle this week, but Craig wrangles author and all-around good guy, Ray Keating, to sit down and talk about his new book, "Menace – an Agen Dean Cold Novel." Keating's book is not only immensely engrossing and entertaining, but it's also provocative, asking questions like, "What would happen to the Christian Church if intelligent life from another planet came to Earth?"

Well, he's the one who tells us we are of equal standing in faith with the apostles and all the saints. We are of equal standing of righteousness even with Christ, because Christ has called us in and by His own glory.

Craig and Troy close out Peter's first epistle to the Church. Humbling yourself requires you to realize who you are and who God is.

Peter enters into a discussion that doesn't tickle our ears very well, but it still a plain fact of the Christian's life: we will suffer on account of Christ. What does that mean? How do we do it?

When Peter says "whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin," what exactly does he mean by that? What does it mean when the world is surprised when we will not join them in their revelries? And what does it mean for us in the church to cover over sins?

*in sarcastic voice* Thank goodness for bible verses that are perfectly clear! Well honestly, thank God for ALL of His word, because we need it all to understand it all. Craig and Troy do a little work on 1 Peter 3, Christ's descent into Hell, and the foreshadowing of God's gift of salvation in baptism.
