Craig sits down at the 2024 Here We Still Stand Conference in San Diego with Pastor and speaker Delwyn X Campbell and asks how a nice little Pentecostal/Baptist black child grows up to become the pastor of two German Lutheran Congregations in Lansing Michigan.

Dr. Rod Rosenbladt's classic lecture on the Sad and Mad ones who have become alienated from the church has many rich treasures to offer us. Craig and Troy continue to share this great lecture from a great teacher of the church with you, and they find once again that the gospel is for the unbeliever and the believer alike.

Craig and Troy return to the font of Dr. Rod Rosenbladt's teaching, and in the process we remember why we must continually return to the font of Christ's grace. Though we do not want to sin, nevertheless we still find ourselves doing exactly what we don't want to do. But in that truth there is no despair, for Christ's covering is complete.

The sainted Rev. Dr. Rod Rosenbladt's classic presentation of the gospel being for the believer and unbeliever alike.

Finally, the end of Judges! Except it's depressing . . . and sad . . . and full of foolishness and falseness and just plain sin. But as Craig and Troy work their way through this mess, they discover a valuable truth: God still has grace for us, and He still keeps His promises.

IT'S JUST SO CREEPY. Just when you think the world has reached its lowest point, you go and open the bible and see when it was even lower. What does society look like when Jesus can't be found? The book of Judges takes an even darker turn, and Craig and Troy struggle to find Christ in this chapter.

Oh, there is so much to be said on that. Creating a god in your own image never works out the way you think it should. Micah finds out the hard way that even the gods of his own making won't stay with him. Craig and Troy begin to wind down the book of Judges.

. . . which, as you and I (and Craig and Troy) know is a very very bad idea. Why don't the people in the book of Judges recognize the bitter irony in what they say and do? More importantly, why don't you and I see that in ourselves? Craig and Troy continue through the strange and sad book of Judges.

You know what the most amazing thing about the story of Samson is? It's how we can still see not only glimpses of Jesus' mercy for us, but also His sacrifice for us. Jesus' greatest victory comes from His lowest point. Craig and Troy finish the long, sad, confusing, and at times stupid story of Samson.

Well, it appears Samson didn't learn his lesson after all. He fights with the strength of the Lord, but forgets the Lord is his strength. When faced with a woman who is obviously trying to find out his secrets, he eventually caves and gives himself over to her. But wasn't he supposed to be given wholly over to the Lord?

Once again, Samson feels he's been wronged. And once again, Samson escalates the situation, but this time also comes to realize that he has been chosen as deliverer of Israel. Has Samson finally learned his lesson, or does Samson view God as a means to an end? Craig and Troy continue with the complicated story of the Judges.

So, how many ways can Samson violate his Naziritic vows (that's a question, Samson, not a challenge!)? Samson wants what he is forbidden to have, eats what he should not, thinks with his hormones instead of his brain, and gets mad when the Philistines "plow with his heifer." And STILL, God is using all of this to accomplish His will. Support 1517 Podcast Network Fundraiser! 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Y...

As Craig and Troy continue through the book of Judges, we encounter Jephthah. Did God raise him up, or was he raised up by men? Did God empower his victory, or did he accomplish through his own might? Did God ask Jephthah for a sacrifice, or did Jephthah offer something God neither requested nor desired?

God always seems to work through that which is least likely to work, so that all glory is ascribed to Him. God sends Gideon and his 300 with their clay assault pots to take out the enemy.

Gideon accepts the call of the Lord whole-heartedly . . . well actually no. Gideon's response to the Lord's call is filled with weakness, with fearfulness, and with faithlessness.
