"We do not presume to come to this your table, merciful Lord, trusting in our own merits, but in your manifold and great mercies." With these words, John Kleinig begins his book on the Lord's Supper with a posture that pastors will immediately appreciate: receiving from God what he offers in the sacrament. Pastor Shaun Arndt joins Jared and Phil this month to discuss and appreciate this devotional text on Holy Communion from a confessional Lutheran author. The Shepherd’s Study podcast is prod...

Episode Sixteen - Advent: The Once and Future Coming of Jesus Christ with Pastor Patrick Freese

When many Americans hear the word "Advent," in the month of December, they may just think of a 24-compartment calendar with little bits of chocolate in each box. By observing the season of Advent, we are countercultural even within the context of American Christianity. How can we further utilize this great historic season to truly prepare the hearts of our people for the coming of Jesus Christ? Pastor Patrick Freese joins us to discuss Fleming Rutledge's postil of Advent sermons for some idea...

Episode Fourteen - The Anxious Generation with Pastor Brett Krause

Jonathan Haidt says we've got a problem on our hands. Literally, a problem is on our hands, in the palm of our hands, all the time. Haidt argues in The Anxious Generation that the arrival of smartphones as a main fixture in modern society has had a deeply significant and often toxic impact upon us all, especially on those born after 1995 who have been raised in a smartphone-centric world. While it is not a religious book, Phil, Jared, and guest Pastor Brett Krause discuss The Anxious Generati...

Episode Thirteen - Liturgy of the Ordinary with Pastor Jacob Behnken

For as much as we claim to love variety and feel the need to shake things up every now and again, it remains true that human beings thrive on routine. That's true when we're students in school, or when we're adults in the work force...and yes, it's true when we're Christians in worship! Tish Harrison Warren expounds on this in her book, Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life. Phil and Jared are joined by Pastor Jacob Behnken to talk about the joy and beauty of structure in...

Episode Twelve - Accompany Them with Singing with Pastor Lucas Proeber

Have you noticed that funerals are becoming less and less common? You're not just imagining things--this is a national trend. But trends don't happen in a vacuum. What are the philosophical and theological underpinnings that are leading to this trend, and how can we recapture the beauty and even necessity of the Christian Funeral? Phil, Jared, and guest Pastor Lucas Proeber discuss all of this and more in light of Thomas Long's book "Accompany Them with Singing." The Shepherd’s Study podcast ...

Episode Ten - Feminism Against Progress with Pastor Nathanael Jensen

Feminism and Progress are often seen as companion concepts, at least in the modern sociopolitical landscape. What is Mary Harrington getting at, then, when her book suggests that those two things don't go hand-in-hand as many would assume? Pastor Nathanael Jensen joins Jared and Phil this month to discuss Harrington's book on feminism and what we pastors can learn from it.

Episode Nine - Essential Church? with Pastor Orie Thomford

Inarguable: church is essential. Far more arguable: all of the members of my congregation view church as essential. There's an obvious tension between those two statements, but how can we help bridge the gap? Pastor Orie Thomford joins Phil and Jared this month to see what Rainer and Rainer have to say. The Shepherd’s Study podcast is produced by Grow in Grace to help pastors grow in the art and practice of pastoral ministry. Each episode features Lutheran pastors discussing a book that is sa...

Episode Eight - Bioethics with Pastor Matthew Zeng

It's not a science fiction episode; bioethics is a word that describes very real decisions and grounded issues that we will encounter throughout our lives.

Episode Seven - Kingdom, Grace, Judgment with Pastor Eric Janke

Pastor Eric Janke joins Jared and Phil to talk about a collected trilogy on Jesus' Parables by Robert Farrar Capon, titled Kingdom, Grace, Judgment. All three of the reviewers agree that Capon is a bit prone to overstatement, but that doesn't mean his work is without value. Should you make space on your shelf for this one? Listen in!

Episode Six - Brand Luther with Pastor Ben Phelps

Happy New Year! Jared and Phil are back this month with Pastor Ben Phelps to discuss Brand Luther by Andrew Pettegree. The general consensus among historians seems to be that the Reformation was successful largely due to the advent of the Gutenberg Press and Luther's savvy to take advantage of it. To what extent is that true? And what are the real take-aways for us 21st-Century pastors as we examine the relationship between "branding," "content," and the life-saving Word of God? Listen to our...

Episode Five - Biblical Critical Theory with Pastor Jon Bauer

Pastor Jonathan Bauer takes up the guest spot this month to discuss Christopher Watkin's Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible's Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture. As far as recent buzzwords and hot topics go, Critical Theory is certainly one to be aware of. How does Watkin attempt to utilize critical theory as a means of biblical interpretation? And for that matter...what really is critical theory, anyway? Jared, Phil, and Jon talk it out in this episode. Pastor Bauer'...

Episode Four - Four Thousand Weeks with Pastor Caleb Bassett

In this episode, Jared and Phil welcome Scott Henrich to go over CFW Walther's Pastoral Theology.
