Reformation as Renewal, with Dr. Matthew Barrett

Was the Reformation really as much a break with what came before it as we are often led to believe? Dr. Matthew Barrett says the Reformers themselves thought not. In his substantial new book, he shows how strongly the Reformers sought to establish their connection with the catholic and universal church. Alastair, Derek, and Matt join Dr. Barrett for a lively and fruitful discussion on this episode of Mere Fidelity. Full show notes at www.merefidelity.com. Timestamps: Repeat Guest [0:00] 14.7 lbs.

Wisdom's Proof JesusLifeTogether In a world of religion, ritual, hierarchy, control, money, marketing, and more flavors than 10,000 Baskin Robbins — how can we know what is Right and True? Some just give up. Bad move. JESUS LIVES and REIGNS! Some simply "go along to get along" to conform to culture and biological family. Really bad move, unless you are a lemming and don't care about the destiny someone else has chosen for you. But then JESUS, knowing this day would come, said, "By their fruit you shall know them" and "Wisdom is PROVED RIGHT by all her CHILDREN." Luke 7:35 Find some random offspring from whatever you wish you knew more about, look carefully at the second generation, and see if the gates of Hell are prevailing — as they would in a "mere words" and "mere ceremonies" attendance-based religious organization. OR, is satan getting busted in the mouth by that second generation? What is the fruit and the quality of LIVES of the children - once they can make their own choices? Then you'll Know.

Mere Liberty is about liberty at its most fundamental core. It's stripping away the rhetoric that we've become accustomed to hearing and challenging the paradigms that face us today. Mere Liberty is not about politics per se, rather it's about the philosophies (and theology) behind the problems presented in politics and culture. Challenging the manner in which we see these problems will push us to think beyond mere political solutions that in effect isolate us from own responsibility, and eschewing responsibility means relinquishing our associated freedoms. Lyden Af Et Bedre Liv By Mannah Mannah Velkommen til et livsfilosofisk samtalemagasin, hvor jeg, Mannah, taler med forfattere, undervisere, healere, kunstnere og tankeledere - eller mig selv - om livsmestring, helingsformer, inspirerende livsveje og alt det der bølger under overfladen.Emnerne spænder vidt. Det er på den måde en podcast, du kan stemple ind og ud af, alt efter hvilke emner der fanger din interesse. Men jeg elske at have dig med på hvert et skridt af vejen. Mit håb er at samtalerne vil inspirere dig til at finde den vej, kun du kan gå. Jeg håber i det hele taget, at du her vil møde nogle indsigtsrige perspektiver på eksistensen - måske mere udsyn, mere forståelse for emner du ikke kendte så meget til før eller bare en sætning der rammer en nerve hos dig.Selv er jeg så astrolog - blandt andet- og det er jeg i de senere år begyndt at inddrage, særligt til sidst i interviews'ene.Mit motto er:Det er dit liv, vi taler om! - Derfor er det jo sjovere, når du selv er med. Og jeg mener det, man, du er så øn
