Dr. Christian Einertson: What Everyone Gets Wrong About Lutheranism (And the Truth)
About this episode
Join us at the long table as we sit down with Dr. Christian Einertson to talk about catechesis, virtue, the Small Catechism, and the Lutheran logic of law, gospel, and good works. How is the Christian faith actually formed in people over time? Why do habit, story, liturgy, and repetition matter so much in raising children and teaching the faith? This episode moves from Paul, music, martial arts, and the saints into a deeper discussion of the Formula of Concord—especially the place of good works, the third use of the law, and the Lutheran tendency to fall off the horse in predictable directions. Rather than flattening the Christian life into slogans, this conversation argues for a fuller, more human, more scriptural account of formation, obedience, and sanctification.
