Wednesday Jul 29, 2020
Wednesday Jul 29, 2020
Original Air Date: July 28th of 2020
Social Justice…we’ve been hearing that term on the news and on social media with increasing frequency. But what is it? How can we recognize it? And most importantly, how can we avoid turning it into a false Christ? That’s our topic for today’s episode. I’m glad to welcome the Rev. Dr. Matt Richard back to the show to tackle this topic.

CPH Podcast - Politicizing Jesus?
Wednesday Jul 29, 2020
Wednesday Jul 29, 2020
Original Air Date: July 27th of 2020
It can be easy to fashion a version of Jesus to fit our political views, to blur the lines between the hope promised in a political campaign with the hope we cling to in Christ. Believe it or not, Jesus is not a democrat or republican. Or an independent. How can we avoid politicizing Jesus? That’s what we’re going to talk about today with our guest, Rev. Dr. Matthew Richard.

Concord Matters - Confessing What We Reject
Wednesday Jul 29, 2020
Wednesday Jul 29, 2020
Original Air Date: July 28th of 2020
Why is it important to also confess what we reject? What are the teachings that we do reject? How are these teachings connected to ancient heresies, and how does our Lutheran doctrine teach against these things?
Rev. Matt Richard, pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Minot, North Dakota, joins host Rev. Sean Smith to discuss The Epitome of the Formula of Concord, Article XII: Other Factions ‹Heresies› and Sects that Never Embrace the Augsburg Confession (Erroneous Articles of the Anabaptists – Paragraph 2-11).
