Hello and welcome to the thinking fellow's podcast. My name is Caleb Keith, and I am once again

joined by Bruce Hillman and Adam Francisco. We're following up the last week's episode that

ended up being about demons instead of angels and demons. So we only got you the bad spiritual

beings last week. And this week uh better to close on

the positive i suppose this week we're going to talk about angels i suppose it's kind of a

a ridiculous question given that they show up in uh the scripture to ask something like to have the main question be like something,

are angels real? That's kind of a dumb question just for a survey of this. But we might cover

some questions like, do I have a guardian angel? Do I become an angel when I die? You know,

this is kind of what was, what's the one where every

time my bell rings an angel gets its way? Yeah, wonderful life. You know, the kind of popular

depictions of angels. What, you know, what do we actually know about angels? I've been liking this

kind of phrasing too. What does Christian theology

have to say about angels? Like what is the, what is the bare minimum? What is the sort of, you

know, is there a creedal or confessional minimum that we have to say about angels? And then

beyond that, what can we say and then what's just

pure speculation so before we do that just remind everybody that the thinking fellows is part

of a broader podcast network of shows in fact a part of a broader network of media over at 1517.org

you can go find all of our podcasts there. We also have

blogs coming out daily. We have preaching helps. You can go to 1517 on YouTube and you can see that

we post multiple videos a week, some short and topical, some conference video, some longer, like article recaps and things like that.

So you can go subscribe there as well. Check that out, 1517 on YouTube and 1517.org.

Okay, guys, so why don't we start with that, I think, an important one.
