Girl, you're forgiven

Meridith shows why we love her! While mommy bloggers will claim that you can have it all and suppress all that "mom guilt", the dissonance between what women are told they should want and what they were made for is leading to a lot of loneliness and distress.

Gospel boiled down

Absolution shouldn't be a sticking point but to those who object it smacks of priestcraft or inequality. But as Rev Fisk points out, it is the Gospel boiled down to one sentence.

The weight of being seen

It's tough the face the destructive tendencies in our own hearts – medicating rather than facing our shame.

Taking the safety off

Rites of passage for young men have fallen on hard times. The Fisk discuss how our matrilineal society has left young men relying too heavily on mom.

Permission to grow up

Dunking on the Boomers is easy, but it is often overlooked that for most of that generation, a third parent had crept into living rooms - the TV. The Fisks talk about manhood and leadership, rites of passage, passing the baton to the next generation and why "adulting" can feel so difficult.

Dr Luther wasn't tooting his own horn or promoting his writing, he knew that the heart of the Catechism is the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer and the Apostle's Creed.
