"YOUR GOD IS TOO GLORIOUS, 2ND EDITION” BY CHAD BIRD https://shop.1517.org/products/your-god-is-too-glorious-finding-god-in-the-most-unexpected-places?variant=43951736160468

“Schweitzer's Psychoanalysis of Jesus Christ: & Other Essays in Christian Psychotherapy”, by John Warwick Montgomery https://www.amazon.com/Schweitzers-Psychoanalysis-Jesus-Christ-Psychotherapy/dp/1956658637
John Warwick Montgomery beautifully highlights how modern psychiatric treatment has lost its mind! Contemporary forms of psychotherapy are, soulless— psychological and spiritual problems require a transcendent solution, as Montgomery nicely documents. No citation of Freud, Jung, or Albert Schweitzer in his flawed diagnosis of Jesus will never be the same as quoting Holy Scripture. Dr. Montgomery’ s latest book is a fresh movement of the Spirit of God to a lost and dying world without Christ. The answer: Put Christianity back into the discussion of what is genuine treatment, and Montgomery’ s newest book wonderfully points us in that direction.

Rod talks about Jesus’ efforts to first include people, rather than exclude, and who Jesus brings His ‘invite’ to, how badly the church has counseled on the subject, and whose job the whole concern actually is.

Ted asks about Rod regularly putting Christian actions in the passive voice. Rod talks about the sinners impotence to do some things, what repentance means, the idea that God’s command implies that we are capable of doing what is commanded, and, in contrast to what we are tempted to believe, the utter inability of sinners to do so, from the Reformers’ perspective.

Ted asks about what things, exactly, comprise the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Rod talks about the simplicity of the Gospel, the value of hearing Christ crucified for my rescue every Sunday morning, the sinner ‘being turned’ away from self (passively—as in Jeremiah 31:18) and toward Jesus Christ, and what people consistently confess after spending long enough in a church which takes them down the road of works instead of Christ and His sufficiency to save.

Rod reads a quote from John Calvin’s Institutes, and speaks about how much we sons of Adam and daughters of eve are drawn to look to our works for assurance and confirmation of salvation, and yet what a good pastor is preparing people for.

Rod talks about what the New Testament tells us about Christianity, what saves sinners, and using some imagery from C.S. Lewis, what we learn from Jesus about how much God loves us so that He would save us even as we sin against Him.

Ted asks about Christians struggling with doubt about the faith and walking away from it. Rod talks about learning from the New Testament that such struggles are ‘not weird’, how people are not trained to know why Christianity is true, what we should expect and what ‘normal’ Christianity looks like, and how myth in storytelling connects us to what Christ did for us to save us, even when things look dim or dark.

Ted asks about feeling like being a Christian is difficult when it seems like others aren’t struggling. Rod talks about what diet I’m getting that can cause such a struggle to occur, or make an existing struggle worse, and asks why St. Paul had hope while writing Philippians from jail, how the law is ubiquitous but that it was fulfilled for us by Jesus Christ, and the value of Christian apologetics.

Ted asks about the idea of ‘knowing that you know’ regarding your salvation. Rod talks about how a Lutheran answers, “How do you know [you are saved]?”, that different churches (denominations) should be able to tell you what they confess with regard to the question of assurance, and what the pastor’s job is to help sinners know, from Scripture.

Ted asks about how serious God is about the law in light of Jesus’ Gospel. Rod talks about closing with ‘let us’, whether the law is a good motivator for believing sinners to go each week and do what the law commands, and what St. Paul describes is our sinful reaction to the law—how the law stirs up our sin.

After Ted reads from 1 Corinthians 6:9, and Rod reads Romans 4:5, Rod talks about the law and the Gospel, what Scripture says is righteousness for the believer, how the Gospel is not inherently in us as the law is, and in any ‘contest’ between the two, which one wins, for the sake of Jesus Christ for sinners.

Rod talks about promises of Christ, speaks about what Lutherans call ‘the consolation of the brethren’ and how such an idea rests in the Reformation, how it is that we encourage one another, and finding confessions so that we can absolve one another.

Ted asks about how the church can sometimes mis-categorize a problem as though it was an outcropping of sin. Rod talks about what pastors are and are not trained in, and what a wise pastoral response might be, looking to sin as the origin of the problem only if absolutely necessary.

Ted asks about the value of preaching on ‘taking dominion’ with regard to electronic devices. Rod talks about confining preaching to the Biblical themes of law and Gospel, how Lutherans pull from all across the Old and New Testaments to do so, and puts particular subjects into those categories and what it means for us sinners.

Ted asks about how bold does a believer need to be. Rod talks about what the earliest converts to Christianity were dealing with and their temptation to return to Judaism due to the dangers they were experiencing, and connects even Peter falling away under the slightest pressure from a girl, and what Christians need to hear, particularly when they’re feeling not-entirely-bold.
Ted asks about the idea of the Bible being inerrant, or without error. Rod talks about recent history of differing positions on the subject, across denominations, and what Jesus’ opinion was of the Old Testament and how He spoke as though historical events recorded in the Old Testament actually happened, and how Jesus’ position on the Old Testament is what Christians should believe and follow.
Ted asks about how people can have knowledge of anything at all. Rod talks about why he abandoned his med schooling, and went to study under Dr. Montgomery, and how Dr. Montgomery began with building the case for Christianity from the four Gospels, and whether they are good historical sources and trustworthy, or not.
Ted and Rod have an unusually candid father-and-son conversation about fathers and personal struggle with sin and faith, and what it means to receive grace from our earthly fathers.
Ted asks about what Jesus’ 'narrow is the way/gate' statement in Matthew 7 means for us Christians in our daily lives. Rod talks about what it doesn’t mean, what ‘narrow’ refers to, and the freedom Christians have when it comes to bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ’s Gospel to the whole world.
Ted asks about the necessity of the law for the Christian believer. Rod talks about Agricola and how Martin Luther was counseling him about the law and the Gospel, and what we sinners should expect from our pastors, and why a proper balance is important for sinners, even believing ones.
Ted asks about what single book Christians should aim to make sure to read. Rod talks about the state of education in Luther’s day and what value such a teaching tool had for an illiterate citizenry, what this one book (or almost a pamphlet) was able to do for Christian believers very rapidly, and what role it had in the family household.
Ted asks about what Jesus said about removing body parts if they’re causing him to sin. Rod talks about what Jesus reveals to us about our true fallen nature and how much we need a savior to rescue us, how dark our inherited sin is, and that we can trust that the miracle of Jesus' resurrection is true.
Ted asks about if the Christian needs continued forgiveness if he or she has already been forgiven. Rod talks about God the gracious Giver and we no more than sinful recipients, and Dad’s own need for forgiveness and basing his understanding of that need in God’s word.
Ted asks about whether our youngest children are capable of having saving faith, referencing Matthew 21:15-16. Rod talks about how he used to have his students study all the Scripture verses on baptism, what God says about children and faith, and Jesus’ response to the idea of kids being prevented from coming to Him.
Ted asks how Jesus’ atonement and sacrifice on the cross works. Rod talks about several important books on the subject, about adoption, reconciliation, propitiation, imputed righteousness, how Melanchthon and Luther tangled on the subject, and what it means for sinners to be reckoned AS IF righteous in this life.
Ted asks about what Paul meant regarding the relationship between sin and the law. Rod talks about how the law affects the sinner, the realities of our sinful condition when we think about improvement, where salvation must come from, and considers the quality of people with whom Jesus spent His time.
Ted asks about 2 Corinthians 3:6 and how literally we should interpret Scripture. Rod talks about what sinners bring to their faith and salvation, the importance of having a law/Gospel distinction, and why reading Scripture correctly and well and accurately is important.
Ted asks about whether or not Jesus is actually risen from the dead. Rod talks about how the claims of Christianity could theoretically be overthrown, and returns to the powerful historical evidence behind the truth of Christ’s resurrection actually taking place in human history.
Ted asks about what the Bible tells us about Jesus Christ and atonement. Rod talks about what’s going on on the cross, what Jesus went though, why it needed to happen, and what makes Christianity Christianity.
Ted asks about assurance in light of Matthew 24:13, when we don’t feel like we’re enduring. Rod talks about the struggle being typical for sinners who are sensitive to their inner disobedience and their disinclination to Christ, but then speaks of good news for such people, including confirmation of what believers faithfully do in their vocations every day.
Ted asks about whether Christians should give things up for Lent. Rod offers up some different conversations like, “How does the cross work? Why is the cross so important in Christianity?”, and the words that are associated with it: Reconciliation, Adoption, and the idea of Substitution.
Ted asks about the ‘unpardonable sin’ we read about in Luke 12:10. Rod talks about how little textual clarification we get about that verse, where Scripture talks about apostasy, the importance of the ‘means of grace’ in regard to ‘God’s answer to our fretting’, and why it is important that it is the Object of our faith that saves, which is Christ, and what assurance and consolation we can get from that.
Ted asks about what the Romans 5:8 verse means. Rod talks about the effect that the law has on sinners and what it makes sinners do, and that, though sinners may be tempted to think the law enables them to follow it, it actually has an opposite effect, and where sinners are to go for assurance of salvation and consolation, even in light of our ongoing sin.
Ted asks about what the term ‘gospel reductionism’ means. Rod talks about Dr. John Montgomery coining the term, the importance of a high view of Scripture, from the first century to the eighteenth, and about the tangles that were had in the LCMS relatively recently over the view of Scripture and inerrancy and its inspiration from God, and why a high view of Scripture is critical.
Ted asks about what cheap law means, particularly in the face of the idea of cheap grace. Rod talks about sinners’ inclination to lower the demands of the law so that we can meet those demands, and just what our real inherited ‘sin condition’ is and why we truly need rescue, and are, in reality, incapable of even coming close to meeting the law's demands.

Ted asks about apologetics and the connection to the day Epiphany in the church year.

Ted asks about where we sinners can look to find forgiveness in light of Jesus’ parable of the talents.
