In 1542, when communion wine was accidentally spilled at St. Mary’s in Wittenberg, Martin Luther and Rev. Bugenhagen rushed forward, wept, cried out, “O God help,” and even licked up the spilled wine from the rail. To many modern Christians, that sounds extreme. But perhaps that reaction reveals something uncomfortable. Maybe the problem is not Luther. Maybe the problem is us. If this account stri...

Welcome to the 3 Padres and a Shepherd Podcast. Today, we take up the topic of marriage—yes, marriage: under the Cross or under culture? In other words, where has the church begun to misunderstand marriage by adopting the expectations and worldview of the culture, rather than receiving marriage as it is given to us in the Word of God? Stick around. In this episode, we are going to do some good old...

We ask for God’s kingdom to come among us. Where you find the kingdom, there you find the King (Jesus). Where you find the King (Jesus), there you find the kingdom. We ask that He would give us His Holy Spirit to believe His Word. An earthly kingdom is found by the work of its people and by force. God’s kingdom is found by the work of God in Christ and by His grace. His kingdom is seen now by the...

“Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” Peter’s reaction to a miraculous catch of fish is more fearful than joyful in the presence Jesus’ holiness. In final episode of The Magnificent 37, we examine three miracles involving the disciples’ work and witness: the initial calling of the fishermen in Luke 5, the post-resurrection catch in John 21 that restores Peter, and the healing of Malchus...

However, there are other churches that may be a bit more humble, admitting that they don't have it all together, but are striving to reach back to the church's Golden Age. All of this begs the question - is there such thing as a perfec...
