For You Radio

Craig and Troy start a discussion on baptism, water, the Spirit, the Word, and how God works through this all to bring Jesus to you, and to bring you to Him.

The For You Podcast enteres a new era, and Craig and Troy kick it off with a discussion on how God works in our lives through tangible means.    

The Day of the Lord ever hastens closer . . . but why hasn't it come yet?  When nearly 2000 years have passed from when Jesus said He'd return, what are we supposed to think when He hasn't yet?  Craig and Troy finish up with Peter's 2nd epistle.

Craig and Troy return to 2nd Peter, taking a deeper look at the false prophets Peter warns us about.  Who are these, and why are they blots and blemishes on the church and her fellowship?    

 . . . and He also knows how to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment.  Craig and Troy step back into 2 Peter, studying the arising of false prophets and our appropriate and bilblical reaction to them.  But what can we, as beleivers, expect from God's hand?

Craig and Troy join up with Katie  Coblintz to discuss transgender and identity questions.  Drawing from her own personal experience as a woman who had been led into living as a trans man for several years, Katie gives a humble and honest account of what it means both to feel uncomfortable in your own body as well as what it means to find our baptismal identity in Christ.  

In Christ, Heaven touches earth so that we earthlings might dwell forever in Heaven with Him.  But how can you be sure?  Peter shows the firm foundation upon which faith stands.

  Troy is out of the saddle this week, but Craig wrangles author and all-around good guy, Ray Keating, to sit down and talk about his new book, "Menace – an Agen Dean Cold Novel." Keating's book is not only immensely engrossing and entertaining, but it's also provocative, asking questions like, "What would happen to the Christian Church if intelligent life from another planet came to Earth?"

Craig and Troy close out Peter's first epistle to the Church.  Humbling yourself requires you to realize who you are and who God is.  But when you realize those things, you will have a place to put away your anxiety.   Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Untamed Prayers: 365 Daily Devotions on Christ in the Book of Psalms by Chad Bird Remembering Your Baptism: A 40-Day Devotional by Kathryn Morales Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley More from the hosts: Troy Neujahr  Craig Donofrio

  Peter enters into a discussion that doesn't tickle our ears very well, but it still a plain fact of the Christian's life: we will suffer on account of Christ.  What does that mean?  How do we do it?  Craig and Troy explain, discuss, and demonstrate suffering for you.

When Peter says "whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin," what exactly does he mean by that?  What does it mean when the world is surprised when we will not join them in their revelries?  And what does it mean for us in the church to cover over sins?  Craig and Troy walk through the opening verses of 1 Peter chapter 4.   Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi More from the hosts: Troy Neujahr  Craig Donofrio  

*in sarcastic voice* Thank goodness for bible verses that are perfectly clear!  Well honestly, thank God for ALL of His word, because we need it all to understand it all.  Craig and Troy do a little work on 1 Peter 3, Christ's descent into Hell, and the foreshadowing of God's gift of salvation in baptism.

How can we be righteous even in the face of evil?  What does it mean to suffer with another?  Why would we even talk about suffering?  And what's Troy's beef with the editors of the ESV, anyway?  Craig and Troy do a deep dive into Peter's guidance for the Church and every believer who is in Christ.   Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi More from the hosts: Troy Neujahr  Craig Donofrio

 . . . and Rome looks at them and says, "What is this, a joke?" Far from it!  Pastors Craig Donofrio, John Bombaro, Sebastian Grunbaum sit down with Bishop Juhana Pohjola as they prepare to participate in the ordinations of the first two pastors of the newly founded Confessional Lutheran Church of Italy.  Bishop Pohjola discusses the founding of the Evangelical Mission Diocese of Finland twenty-five years ago with a handful of church members and it has now grown to over fifty congregations.
