from This Sunday Podcast Hosted by This Sunday Podcast

The Theology of the Cross and Romans 12 A wide-ranging conversation on the theology of the cross and its practical shape in ordinary Christian life. Starting from Luther's Heidelberg Disputation and the way it redirected the Reformation beyond the 95 Theses, we explore why the cross — not glory — stands at the center of Lutheran thought, and what it means to take up one's cross day by day. From there we walk through Romans 12 verse by verse: honor, zeal, hope, prayer, and hospitality; blessing enemies and rejecting envy; forgiveness, burning coals, and overcoming evil with good; and finally what Romans 12 looks like as a vision for the church, the classroom, and young-adult community. We close with reflections on preaching Romans 12 concretely in ministry today.
