Hello there, and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb and the Thinking

Fellows. It is brought to you by the 1517 podcast network of shows. You can go to 1517.org

slash podcasts to see all of our shows. There, you can also just go to the 1517 homepage to see all of our projects.

We have podcasts, blogs, conference video, and maybe even guest speakers at congregations

near you.

In the last couple of months, speakers have been once again being invited to come teach Bible studies at various churches.

You can go check out our events page to see not only the 1517 annual events, but also just those local congregations that have a speaker or a teacher out to do something for, you know,

one weekend or one Sunday.

And that may be close enough to you to want to share in that and make the driver the trip

over to a neighboring church.

Okay.

We left off on sort of the means of grace last time, the keys, a great explanation

of how the Holy Spirit making people holy by speaking through them. I thought that was really

great. And we took a good hard stop at excommunication. We could have squeezed that in there, but, you know, I just thought,

man, probably better to just keep the means of grace in their own episode. And we'll just start

the next episode with excommunication. So we can, we can begin to dive in for those who are

maybe joining us for the first time.

We are walking through the Lutheran Confessions.

We've been in the Small Called articles for a little while now with some breakup with a couple of conference episodes and Q&A episode here and there.

So we're on our last episode in Small Called to today.

And so that's what we're going to do.

We're going to close up the Small Called articles.
