Can You Choose God? Understanding Lutheran Conversion
In this week's episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus sits down with Pastor James Wilshusen to discuss the question of free will in conversion, how Scripture speaks about decision and choice, and why Lutherans confess that the human will is bound and cannot choose God apart from the Holy Spirit. They walk through common misunderstandings about "accepting Jesus," what it means that God converts, and why repentance and faith are entirely the work of the Spirit—not the result of human decision or effort. This episode explores the biblical language of the wi...

Preserving the Faith: Schools, Outreach, and Building the Camp
In this week's episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus sits down with Pastor James Wilshusen to talk about the purpose of Christian education, the Benedict Option, and what it means for the church to build and maintain a faithful "camp" without becoming isolated from the world. They discuss demographic changes in the church, the return of men to Sunday attendance, the Lutheran approach to schooling, and why preserving confessional identity is not opposed to outreach—but actually necessary for it. From cloisters and classical education to outreach and vocation, this conversation explores wh...

Grave and Glory : The Risen Christ Will Return
In this episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus sits down with Pastor James Wilshusen to reflect on the heart of the Christian faith: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 15, they explore why Christianity is not merely a coherent philosophy among many but the proclamation of what truly happened—that Christ was crucified, buried, and raised on the third day. Together they discuss the danger of reducing faith to "my truth," the postmodern temptation to treat religions as interchangeable systems, and the uncompromising claim of the apostles that over 500 witnesses saw the risen Lo...

In this episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus sits down with Pastor James Wilshusen to unpack Hebrews 10 and the true reason Christians gather for worship. Together, they explore why church is more than personal devotion or ritual—it's about receiving Christ's gifts, encouraging one another in faith, and persevering as the body of Christ. They discuss what it means to "hold fast the confession of our hope," why God commands us not to neglect meeting together, and how the church equips us to endure in a world of temptation and trial.

Through Faith Alone: The Church's Unity in Christ Alone
In this episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus sits down with Pastor James Wilshusen to reflect on Jesus' words in Luke 12 about bringing fire and division. Together they discuss how Christ's Word both divides and unites—separating His Church from the world while gathering believers into true fellowship. They examine what genuine unity in the Church looks like, why it must be grounded in the truth of God's Word, and how attempts at false unity inevitably fail.

In this episode of Christendom and the Word, Pastor James Preus joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on Christian political engagement. We explore how a biblical understanding of natural law, civil duty, and conscience informs everything from our view of rights to our role in society. Is libertarianism compatible with a Christian worldview? What does Romans 13 really mean for believers today? Pastor Preus challenges us to think clearly, live faithfully, and obey for conscience' sake—not just for political gain.
