The Faith Conservationist: Recent Episodes
Rev. Brett Jenkins, STS
As the world around us becomes more spiritually arid and toxic, cultural ecology is a pressing issue. The lush, abundant life available only through orthodox Christian faith is ever more precious and in need of careful preservation. This podcast exists to help all people of good will understand, espouse, proclaim, defend, and celebrate traditional Christianity, “the faith delivered once for all to the saints.”
Things are shifting in Christianity, not just in North America, but around the globe. How do these changes affect us? With whom do traditional Christians work and in what ways as the landscape changes? In this first of a three part series, Pr. Brett seeks a way forward at this time.
Was Jesus really born from woman who had never had sexual relations with a man? Christians have traditionally thought so, but is this belief crucial to mature faith? Yes. As the Christmas season draws to a close, it is good to reflect on why Christians can have confidence in this thoroughly Biblical doctrine.
Ideas have consequences, and the way the Church proclaims the good news of Jesus' resurrection is important. Christ IS risen!
What do you do after you fail in a resolution? Most of us have had to face this question in our lives. Pr. Brett listens to the voice of his Lord and some wise advice from an old cavalry officer to find his way forward.

Emotions are integral to our human identity, but they often lead us astray. How do we separate the wheat from the chaff in our emotions and rehabilitate this our fickle aspect of our nature?
What is the heart of Christian faith? What is the heart of Lutheran faith? The Bible's answer is very countercultural... which is why it is more important than ever that we hear it today.
