Finally, we will do a little Preaching To Hollywood as we look at the Taylor Swift song The New Romantic. So, close your eyes and imagine your watching us LIVE on FB ... but not if your driving!!!!!
Mediocrity at it's best ... This is Table Talk Radio! Is God's love conditional or unconditional? On today's episode we attempt to to answer that question as we clear out the voicemail box (not really, but we try) by playing the Bumper Sticker and Church Sign Theology games. And if that is not enough, we accidentally play a voicemail that doesn't refer to a single bumper sticker or church sign. That is how we keep our reputation as the best mediocre radio show!
On this episode of TTR we open up the emails and sort for any that ask us to review songs by Preaching To Hollywood.

In Table Talk Radio’s Which Ladder Marathon, we roll the dice to listen to America’s Most Influential Pastors of America and discern are they telling us to do something, feel something or think something? In any case, they’re not telling us about Christ who has done all for us (ie. The Gospel).

With the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod discussing the practice of having a deacons licensed to preach and administer the sacrament, even though Jesus doesn't authorize them to do so publicly, many have published propaganda to try and influence delegates to the church body's convention.

After some buzzwords it is time once again to crunch on some praise songs. On this episode we run “Hold Me” by Toby Mack through the Praise Song Cruncher and ask, “Is Jesus holding you?” and then we run “A New Creation” by Bel Thompson through the Cruncher. Will these songs pass? Listen and see!

The Letter:
February 23, 2015
Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Northwest District,
"...in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us."
2 Corinthians 5:19-20 (ESV)
Our God has called us all to be His ambassadors in this world. Our words and actions should all be measured and chosen insofar as they reflect the love of Jesus to each other and to those who don't know Him yet. It is also important for us to present an accurate reflection of who He is and how He relates to us as the objects of His love.
Spending the entire show reading listener emails, we talk about marriage, going to a Lutheran Seminary and whether there are one or two baptisms according to Holy Scripture.
What happens when the Standard Operating Procedures prevent you from calling a false teacher a false teacher? That is discussed in the context of a new game "Public or Private," then we play a round of Table Talk Jeopardy on the topic of marriage.
In playing “Name that Theologian” we learn church growth methods haven’t changed in 40 years. We also try to name that church body by their statement of faith.
Pastor Wolfmueller brings to the table a set of questions that every worldview is trying to answer. In playing Facebook theology and preaching to Hollywood, we try to arrive at what worldview is being professed.

Merry Christmas! For today’s episode in celebration of our Lord’s birth we play “Name that Theologian” with Christmas quotes. Finally, we look at what’s going on in the news and name the commandments.
Toward the end of 2014, Bryan and Evan try to do a little cleaning up of the TTR inbox and spend the entire show listening to your voicemails and reading your emails. Thanks Table Talk Radio Listeners.
After Pastor Wolfmueller finishes his snack time, we crunch the songs “Always Been About You” by Fellowship Creative and “Beautiful Things” by Gungor. Lastly, Table Talk Radio would not be complete until we analyzed your Church Signs and Bumper Stickers.
If we don’t listen to the latest pop songs, attempt to explain what they mean and talk about how to talk to someone who sings this, who would? We also look at what’s in the news in light of the 10 commandments.
It’s a showdown. Bryan vs Brian. Both regular guests on some radio show called Issues Etc., but who will triumph when they go head-to-head in “Ask a Ninja Pastor”?

After taking some time to answer emails and playing a little church sign and bumper sticker theology, then Pastor Wolfmueller takes a swing at “Name that Game.”
Making the distinction between the false teacher and the falsely taught, we play Kick the Dog, Comfort the Child. Pastor Wolfmueller tries to discern a theologian and then we finish up by playing Bumper Sticker and Church Sign Theology.
After a little debate on whether or not addressing the church as “church” is a church growth tendency, we discover how biga missionalist is Pastor Woolsey of Crosspoint Community Church in Huston TX. We finish up with a little Contemporary or Traditional.
Testing your knowledge of church belief’s we play “Name that Church Body” and finish up with Ten Commandments in the News about Rick Perry.
As Pastor Wolfmueller finishes up his show prep, he decides to do the Praise Song Cruncher for the entire show. We crunch the songs “God’s Not Dead” by Newsboys, the hymn “Earth and All Stars” and “Beautiful” by Disciple.
When Pastor Wolfmueller does all the show prep we play Bible Bee A LOT! So we do that again. Also, a new game he made up called “What’s the Picture.”
Pastor Wolfmueller’s still doing all the show prep for Table Talk Radio. So this show is kinda eh. Listen if have nothing better to do.
What happens when Pastor Wolfmueller misses his Denver connection? He loses a bet. And what happens when he loses a bet? He has to do show prep for a month. And what happens when he does show prep for a month? The listener suffers. Sorry!
In honor of 300 shows of miserable radio, today’s edition remembers all those games that never made it to regular rotation. They include Church Father Or…, Page for points, and 20 questions.

Before heading off to Madagascar, which is just an excuse to do a “best of” show, Bryan and Evan toss out a few Buzzwords and try to answer some of your emails.

In a brand new game, Bryan and Evan try to make the distinction between addressing false doctrine with a teacher and addressing it with one who has been led into false belief. They also play “Preaching to Hollywood” with the song “Rude” by Magic. Finally the end up playing 10 Commandments in the News.

Returning from the Oregon Pastor’s Conference, Pastor Goeglein shares a few thoughts on the topic at hand, and as usual, Pastor Wolfmueller tries to make a game out of it. We also play “Preaching to Hollywood” with Pharrell William’s “Happy” and play “Create-a-cult.”

In Preaching to Hollywood we listen to secular music and find a way to speak the Gospel in light of the song. In the Praise Song Cruncher, we find the level of mysticism in a given praise song.

Praise Songs: “Your Grace Finds Me” by Matt Redman and “Build Your Kingdom Here” by Rend Collective.
