I'm Rev. Eric Wolf, a pastor, writer, and musician. I've previously posted almost exclusively sermons, but I'm writing a book called Myth of a Dying Church, and am now also posting episodes about the topics in and related to the book. I believe strongly that the task of preaching is to engage Scripture as a mirror held up to our lives so that we can confront what we see with integrity. This image we engage helps us to understand what it means to be Children of God; gain perspective of what it means that our primary citizenship and allegiance belongs to God’s Kingdom; and discover how the love...

Going Shoeless (@Lutheridge for Lutheran Outdoor Ministry Conference) 09.11.2015 11:53

Transformational Leadership is the week's theme, using the story of Moses. Moses is renowned as one of our Faith's heroes, but this wasn't always the case. At the start, Moses was on the run, working a hard job, and living with his in-laws. God transformed him into the man we know. How will God transform us in ways we may not yet be able to imagine?

Stronger than Death (Messiah, Mauldin, All Saints 2015) 01.11.2015 14:07

God calls and even the dead respond. On All Saints Day we celebrate the new life we have in Christ. We remember those we lost and remember that Christ is with us. In the family of God, nobody cries alone. Support the show

Please God, don't give me what I want • St. James, Graniteville 18.10.2015 17:00

What we think we want is whatever we want, but what we want often ends up not being at all what we need. Coping with the desire to have our own way is one of the hardest posts of a faith that tells us to want it God's way. Support the show

Who am I really? — St. Michaels, Irmo 11.10.2015 23:33

We draw our identity from so many things — cars, houses, money, joins, roles — and that's just what they are, things. Jess challenges us to rest our identity in God and follow him. What's left when you lay down your things and pick up your cross? Support the show

Wandering, But Not Lost (Immanuel, Greenwood) 27.09.2015 19:05

A lot of times we feel like we're wondering, lost, and alone, but we must realize that in the life of a Christian we are always following God. How do we learn to experience the presence of God even in those spaces where we feel like God couldn't possibly be there? Support the show

God calls us to be one people...how do we do THAT? Support the show

The Hero We Need 13.09.2015 26:35

"Who do you say that I am?" is maybe the most important question of my out faith. Depending on how we answer this question, we experience a very different understanding of God. Does who you say Jesus is allow enough room for God to be God? The Children's Sermon follows the sermon due to editing, but preceded the sermon during worship. #newkindofhero Support the show

Crunchy Jesus 16.08.2015 23:41

"I am the bread come down from heaven. Those who eat my body and drink my blood will have eternal life". Jesus spoke these words to a crowd who was hoping for bread and fish, hoping to feed them something much more substantial. Something they could really sink their teeth into. #crunchyJesus #scsynod #dolovewalk Support the show
