Hey everyone. Welcome once again to the Conversations That Matter Podcast. I'm your host John Harris a little under the weather this morning. Thank you for those who are praying for me. I know I announced that on the Truth Script podcast on Tuesday and I'm getting a little better but it is slow.

So I don't know if I picked up something on the airplane or what but

but anyway I am excited today to have our guests.

He's going to do most of the thinking, so I don't have to, you know,

my mentally sick brain here.

We have actually someone who's been on the podcast before Dr. Schulz who was if you recall at Concordia University and I think Dr. Schulz are you still at Concordia University, technically?

Yeah, thanks. First, John, I just wanted to say it's a real privilege and blessing to be talking with you again,

and your listeners. So yes, I'm technically still on the faculty have been in exile I suppose for a little over two years now

prohibited to teach and even go on campus actually well we'll talk about that but Dr. Gregory Schultz has a new

book that's out that's one of the reasons the main reason actually that he's on

today and I want to show you all that that's his website if you want to find

out more about his writings Lutheran philosopher.com but you can get his book you go to

Amazon and Barnes and Nobleomy of an implosion,

which is a very, you know, with the new sort of masculine

movement in Christianity, you definitely

have a cover that fits that,

with the Roman soldier right there. So check that out and we're going to be talking about it. But let's start here, Dr. Schulz, how are you doing? I mean, you just mentioned you can't even go on the campus you teach

at but you're technically on the faculty. How does that work? Oh, thanks John. I'm well in the Lord. If, you know, if it is an exile, it's a pretty well- well populated island of Patmas or however you want to do that so

Got a lot of friends. I I certainly do miss teaching my students and I think not breaking any rules here to say that if

as you and your listeners take a look at some of the reporting online at the federal list about things or

I've included texts of those in the book too so everybody can read it there

you'll see that actually it just does not look like they want me back and lawyers
