Back for a second interview, Dr. Kruger joins us to talk about his book, "The Ten Commandments of Progressive Christianity." Who came up with this list? How can parishes and dioceses protect themselves from the incursion of theological liberalism? What is the correct pastoral response for the adherents in the pews? Is correction harsh? Dr. Michael J.

On today's interview we visit with the Rev. John Dobbs, author of the blog "Out Here Hope Remains." Last month he wrote an article about the unique stresses placed upon clergy during these challenging times we are all facing. Why is the COVID-19 pandemic placing the longevity of ministry at risk? What are the unique stressors for the pastor in 2020? Why are clergy deferring vital self care?

We are joined today by Bishop Thad Barnum.

We were honored to have a member of the Anglican Church in North America's Catechesis Task Force visit us this week. Fr. Lee Nelson is the rector of Christ Church in Waco, Texas and a master catechist. He joins us following the official release of the approved ACNA Catechism: "To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism."

Last year, in September, we met the Rev. Philip De Grey-Warter just before his congregation was set to leave the Church of England and plant Anchor Anglican Church. We thought it was due time to check in with the congregation. Anchor has many faithful servants of Jesus, and this time we met with Susie Leafe. Susie has been involved in many senior positions of church leadership and is currently the director of operations for GAFCON UK. She speaks about the joys and struggles of meeting in the new location. We also discuss her poignant last address to the General Synod of the CoE. Related Links: https://www.anchorfowey.org/

To support LTTW donate at: https://bit.ly/3bAn8zf We are five short days away from the beginning of the Great Lenten fast. Whether you are new to the practice or need a review, we figured today would be a great opportunity to review why we as Anglicans participate in this ancient tradition of the Church. What are the benefits of fasting? What are the dangers of approaching it with an attitude of self righteousness? What should one expect when attending an Ash Wednesday service at an ADLW parish? Joining us from frigid Syracuse, NY, the Rev. Caleb Evans (the producer's Rector) unpacks what the Bible, our Prayer Book, and Tradition has to say about the quickly approaching Lenten season.

Back from our hiatus, LTTW returns! In the present Christian climate, many questions exist about Protestant Christians' relationship with the Roman Catholic Church. We asked Dr. Chris Castaldo, a former Roman Catholic and expert on Protestant/Catholic relations to speak about what divides and unites us. When should we defer to tradition? When should we defer to Scripture? What does it mean to "swim the Tiber?" Chris Castaldo (BA, Moody Bible Institute; MDiv, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary; PhD, London School of Theology) was raised on Long Island, New York. For the last seventeen years, he has served in the Chicagoland area, at College Church in Wheaton and then at Wheaton College where he directed the Ministry of Gospel Renewal, a ministry devoted to equipping evangelicals for constructive engagement with Catholic friends and loved ones. Since November of 2014, Chris has served as Lead Pastor of New Covenant Church, Naperville.

A couple weeks ago, our Comms Director and producer of this podcast, the Rev. Marc Steele, visited the Bishop in Manassas, VA. We figured this was a perfect opportunity to break out a microphone and turn the tables. Today Bishop Julian is in the guest's chair. Hear his heart on several key issues facing the Anglican Communion and the Anglican Diocese of the Living Word. This is a very candid interview you don't want to miss. And hey, this is a field interview, so there are some pops, hisses, and maybe even the distant sound of a leaf blower, but stick it through to the end, the last two questions are especially "hard-hitting." ;-)

Remember: RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE. Today, we speak with Bishop Julian's personal physician about health. Dr. Pappas is a Christian and a leading practitioner in the field of integrative medicine.

Yet, presently there exists a profound lack of confidence in the Bible. What gives? We look at the concept of inerrancy: what it is and what it is not, and look at why adherence to this principle is required of all ADLW clergy.

LTTW is back from hiatus, with a guest host, Melanie Taylor. What is Abundant Life? "When we fail to help young people navigate how sex and relationships fit into the broader category of life, we are failing the God who created relationships to be deep, bountiful gifts for us. This resource was developed to educate students about healthy relationships, sexuality, dating, and decision-making, while also covering topics like pornography addiction, identity, social media usage, loneliness, depression, and suicide - all resting on the ultimate redemption found only in Jesus." Sammie graduated from Robert Morris University in 2017 with a background in biology and psychology and started working with Anglicans for Life (AFL) in 2017. In addition to her work with AFL, she spends time going into public schools with the Women’s Choice Network, speaking to high schoolers about healthy relationships and sex education. Sammie married her best friend, Juan Gallo, in May 2019. During her free time, you can find her leading youth ministry with her husband at their church, where he serves as the youth pastor.

Dr. Jim Salladin joins us to discuss this beautiful and uniquely Anglican prayer, recited before coming to the table of Holy Communion. We learned some key lessons: You don't tug on superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger. You don't tell Jim Salladin that the Prayer of Humble Access is a second occurrence of confession within the liturgy. Find out why this statement of our own worthlessness points to Him whose name alone is to be glorified, our most merciful God. On a technical note, the audio is a bit rough on this one, we are aware and working to fix it.

Today is Grandparents Day. Yes, we know it's nowhere to be found on any liturgical calendar. Yet, we have some pretty incredible grandfathers and grandmothers across ADLW. Many of them are courageous pioneers who God used to help build this diocese. We sat down with three grandparents, two Archdeacons and a Bishop's wife, and asked them how God had changed them through the experience of watching grandchildren grow up in front of them. You will be touched by what they have to say. If you are fortunate enough to have grandparents around, reach out, tell them that you love them, and that you are thankful that God placed them in your life.
