Today we look at the readings for October 2 (Psalm 3, Matthew 7:1-12, and a writing from Johann Gerhard) in our "Faith for the Day" segment. We also introduce a new segment, "Faith in the Fire," which aims to consider contemporary issues or events, and examine them through a biblical lens. Today, we dive into the recent hullabaloo over in Turkey, at Greater Mount Ararat, and the possible confirmation of the remains of the infamous Noah's ark on its slopes. This has some pretty interesting implications ... or does it? That depends on where you put your faith, and how we understand apologetics. Thanks for tuning in!

Today, in the Faith for the Day, Pr. Heckert reads from Psalm 51, Matthew 3, and a writing from the Rev. Dr. C. F. W. Walther and discusses how they all tie together rather nicely! In our first "Faith of our Forebears" segment, we examine the Daily Offices, specifically Compline, how they've come down to us Lutherans and how these services are liturgical gold, meant to help all Christians, lay and clergy alike, in their devotional lives! Keep your iron hot and your hammer at the ready as we delve into the Forge of Faith!

A brief intro to the series, what to expect, and a bit about little ol' Pr. Heckert! Next episode will be up next Friday, Sept. 25, AD 2026 at noon!
