Anglicanism has roots that extend all the way back to the 2nd century, but is undeniably a Church of the English Reformation. This short podcast reviews the basics of Anglican history and the essential anchors historic Anglican doctrine found in the formularies of the Church.
info_outline The Word of the LordThe 10-Minute Anglican
The Scriptures are foundational to the Christian life. Yet many Christians do not spend much time reading and studying the Bible. If we believe it to be "The Word of the Lord", how can we not listen to it? Today's episode invites listeners to see the grand story, to ask 2 critical questions, and to truly strive to listen to God's voice in the Bible.

info_outline Fishing with St. PeterThe 10-Minute Anglican
Exhaustion. Stress. Overload. We often feel these things. Peter and the disciples did. In the aftermath of Jesus' arrest, trial, execution and resurrection, they are left reeling. What does it all mean? In the midst of this Peter decided to go fishing. And what a trip it was! They learn some important lessons in their encounter with the Risen Lord --and so will we. I also discuss St. Maximillian Kolbe who sacrificed himself on behalf of another.
info_outline The "isms" that Block GrowthThe 10-Minute Anglican
What do individualism, emotionalism, antinomianism, minimalism, relativism, and judgmentalism all have in common? They are "isms" that work directly against the deepening and maturing of our Christian life. Yet, they have worked their way into much of the popular Christian culture. In this podcast, I talk about ways we can identify and resist their harmful effects. I also spend some time sharing the wisdom of St. Francis of Assisi from the "Little Flowers of St. Francis"
info_outline The Christ, The Crowds, & The CrossThe 10-Minute Anglican
One week they praise Him and the next week they condemn Him. Two crowds. But are they? We know that we have the capacity in our selves for divided loyalty, for blessing and cursing. We know St. Peter will deny even knowing Jesus. Yet, the love of God remains constant through it all. He never leaves us or abandons us. His mission remains steadfast and he wins our redemption despite our inconsistency. The love of God is truly remarkable.
info_outline Virtues: Tools for BattleThe 10-Minute Anglican
We often focus on what NOT to do, but why not focus rather on what we SHOULD do? In this episode we learn how the Seven Godly Virtues help us in our battle against the Seven Capital Sins (also known as the Seven Deadly Sins). We also spend some time learning about St. Cyprian of Carthage and what he has to teach us about the Lord's Prayer and Patience.
info_outline Obedience and TrustThe 10-Minute Anglican
St. Peter learns an important lesson in Luke's gospel about obedience. Through his obedience, and his trust, his eyes are opened to see Jesus in a new light as well how he relates to his Lord. We would do well to learn from this example and how even reluctant obedience can be a key to our discipleship. We also learn from St. Augustine about overcoming our internal conflict of will in responding to Jesus.
info_outlineTypically, the local church provides about 2 hours of actual teaching time a week. This includes, sermon, Sunday School, and Youth Group. Over the course of a year, that's a 104 hours of instruction. The typical School which meets for 180 days, provides over 1000 hours of instruction. The key to engaging and preserving our culture is not only in the planting of churches, but in the planting of schools. Classical Christian education can be a key partner in this process.
