These podcasts are the captured pastor work in and around Bethany Lutheran Church in Alexandria, Virginia. Article 7 refers to part of the Augsburg Confession, one of the founding documents of the Lutheran Church, and it answers the question "what is a church?" The church is where God's gifts are given to the people, and that is what this podcast is all about - strengthening God's family with the gift of His Word.

In John’s Gospel Jesus meets people all across the spectrum of faith, from religious leaders like Nicodemus to outcasts like the women and the well. Jesus seems to be harsh with this woman, calling out her sin. But what if Jesus was doing a deeper work? What if he was actually meeting her in her deepest place of shame and in turn offering her heali…

Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader, came to Jesus by night. Nicodemus was curious about Jesus and who he was and where he came from. But Jesus did not give him easy answers. Jesus spoke about water and Spirit and being “born again.” What did this all mean for Nicodemus, for the people of Israel, and for us today? John 3:1-21 (ESV) Now there was a…

How and why does God reveal himself to us? Is it through nature? Through dreams? Through an ancient book filled with wild and crazy stories? All of those questions could be answered with a maybe.

Many times we wonder why God just doesn't just get rid of it all but to pull the weed is to pull out the wheat. So evil and good co-exist and grow together until the end when e…

Knowing Christ means we are in an all out war against the devil. We fight against sin and seek faithfulness not because we believe we can save ourselves but because Christ has saved us and we want to live faithfully and push back against anything and everything that would try to pull us away. 1 John 3:7-10 (ESV) Little children, let no one deceive …

Evil is not just a struggle with greed or lust; this is a spiritual struggle with spiritual forces at play. Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy, to undo what God has done. We see this with Job and we see this in so many ways in our own lives. However, no matter what Satan throws at us: loss, death, pain, etc. we know it is all temporary because…
