| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb. And today we're hopping into a normal set of episodes. |
| 0:08.2 | We did, at the beginning of the year, we did a questions and answers episode, which was a lot of fun. It wasn't actually a lot of questions and answers, though. |
| 0:15.9 | We did two big ones. I counted them up in the requests I had for the two questions that we did, |
| 0:21.9 | which was infant, a question about why do we baptize infants, that is we Lutherans or why would |
| 0:26.5 | the thinking fellows advocate for such. And then we also had a question on apostasy. So we covered |
| 0:32.8 | those two in that episode. I thought it was a really good episode. I would summarize the episode as being |
| 0:38.5 | basically about as comfort and consolation of souls. So I thought that was a really good episode. |
| 0:44.8 | So if you haven't listened to it, you should go check that out. Maybe you were one of the |
| 0:47.8 | listeners who was wondering about that and had sent me an email about infant baptism or apostasy. |
| 0:52.5 | And that episode is where your question is answered. |
| 0:56.5 | We also did, before that, we did three episodes on defining our terms. And that again came from |
| 1:01.8 | several listeners saying, hey, I really like the show. I listen to it weekly. And most of the time, |
| 1:08.8 | I get it. But sometimes you guys use a term that I I have no context |
| 1:12.8 | or background for and so what we tried to do in those episodes was take a couple minutes for |
| 1:18.1 | some of the more common terms that we use in the show that hey maybe only the really you know |
| 1:24.5 | formal educated Lutherans know some of these terms and sometimes we just sling them around real |
| 1:29.0 | fast or something like that. Or we picked some important doctrines that we know come up a reoccurring |
| 1:34.9 | and that we've done whole episodes on, but it was worth it to do three or four minutes on those as well. |
| 1:40.3 | So you should go back and listen to those if you're looking for kind of a breakup from, |
| 1:45.3 | you know, the normal episodes that we did. We use those episodes as a transition and sort of like |
| 1:51.0 | a reset button for the new years. Say, here we go. It's 2018. We're bringing the show to you |
| 1:58.6 | in a different way this year. And the way that we're |
