Flame's favorite hymns:
- Water, Blood, and Spirit Crying
- God's Own Child, I Gladly Say It (Played at the end)
Stanza 1
God’s own child, I gladly say it: I am baptized into Christ!
He, because I could not pay it, gave my full redemption price.
Do I need earth’s treasures many?  I have one worth more than any
That brought me salvation free, Lasting to eternity!
Stanza 2
Sin, disturb my soul no longer: I am baptized into Christ!
I have comfort even stronger: Jesus’ cleansing sacrifice.
Should a guilty conscience seize me, since my baptism did release me
In a dear forgiving flood, sprinkling me with Jesus’ blood?
Stanza 3
Satan, hear this proclamation: I am baptized into Christ!
Drop your ugly accusation; I am not so soon enticed.
Now that to the font I’ve traveled, all your might has come unraveled,
And, against your tyranny, God, my Lord, unites with me!
Stanza 4
Death, you cannot end my gladness: I am baptized into Christ!
When I die, I leave all sadness to inherit paradise!
Though I lie in dust and ashes faith’s assurance brightly flashes:
Baptism has the strength divine to make life immortal mine.
Stanza 5
There is nothing worth comparing to this lifelong comfort sure!
Open-eyed my grave is staring: Even there I’ll sleep secure.
Though my flesh awaits its raising, still my soul continues praising:
I am baptized into Christ; I’m a child of paradise!

Vocation and Narcissism

Cook discusses an ancient Christian practice that Roman Catholic nuns have monopolized, while Swig discusses God-given roles in life (even if we think we chose them). While reading an old Greek myth, Cook couldn't stop thinking about himself.

What is the Trinity? w/ Dr. Jordan B Cooper

Cook and Swig host Dr. Jordan B Cooper in an episode devoted to the Holy Trinity. Is the Father the only God? Is the Son a creation of God? Is the Holy Spirit a woman? All these are discussed and more. Learn how to read the Bible like a heretic, the necessity of abstraction, and the three premises needed to prove the Trinity biblically. 
Dr. Cooper's favorite Lutheran hymns:
- Thy Strong Word
- God's Own Child, I Gladly Say It
- The Law of God is Good and Wise
- From the Depths of Woe, I Cry to Thee (Lyrics Below)
1 From depths of woe I cry to thee,Lord, hear me, I implore thee.Bend down thy gracious ear to me,my prayer let come before thee.If thou rememb'rest each misdeed,if each should have its rightful meed,who may abide thy presence?2 Thy love and grace alone availto blot out my transgression;the best and holiest deeds must failto break sin's dread oppression.Before thee none can boasting stand,but all must fear thy strict demandand live alone by mercy.3 Therefore my hope is in the LORDand not in mine own merit;it rests upon his faithful Wordto them of contrite spiritthat he is merciful and just;this is my comfort and my trust.His help I wait with patience.4 And though it tarry till the nightand till the morning waken,my heart shall never doubt his mightnor count itself forsaken.Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed,ye of the Spirit born indeed;wait for your God's appearing.5 Though great our time and sore our woes,his grace much more aboundeth;his helping love no limit knows,our utmost need it soundeth.Our Shepherd good and true is He,who will at last his Israel freefrom all their sin and sorrow.
