In episode TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT, Jason and Wade discuss the spirit of Lutheranism and what that might be, if there is one. We focus especially on two contemporaries of Martin Luther, Matthias Flacius Illyricus and Johannes Bugenhagen. Should Lutheranism's spirit be more Luther or Melanchthon, Flacius or Bugenhagen? Ultimately, we decide Lutheranism has only one Spirit who works through the means of grace to proclaim sins forgiven and strengthen faith. In the process, that Spirit uses all sorts of people with different personalities, gifts, and dispositions. We hope you enjoy the episode!

In episode TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR, Mike and Wade discuss human flourishing and the economy of God's love. What is human flourishing? How does it relate to the Word? How does it relate to this world? What does it teach us about our relationship with God and neighbor, and how God deals with us and our neighbor? What is the economy of God's love? What is its significance? We hope you enjoy the episode! Let the Bird Fly! is supported by the 1517 Podcast Network, which is part of 1517.org.
