Special Guest: Pr. Bryan Wolfmueller
Pastor Bryan Wolfmueller of Hope Lutheran Church in Aurora, Colorado and co-host of Table Talk Radio is our special guest. Pr. Wolfmueller explains the medieval doctrine of the three estates, and how Martin Luther's interpretation of it was the key political insight of his career. The original idea was that there were three “orders” in life: those who worked, those who prayed, and those who fought. The home, the church, and the state. To be a part of one meant you could not be a part of the others. Luther recognized that, unlike the early Church fathers and medieval theologians, the three estates actually overlap and people are a part of multiple “orders.”
Ballistic Minute with Sergeant Bill
This week, Sergeant Bill has tips for pre-stage planning, specific to IDPA matches. He talks about memorizing the positions of targets, counting the number of shots, identifying danger targets or cover traps, making a plan, and visualization.
Aaron Israel of Fundamental Defense
Aaron Israel draws some important lessons from a tragic shooting in Arlington, Texas, where a good Samaritan intervened in an attempt to prevent an man from fleeing after he shot a woman in the leg. The killer managed to kill the Good Samaritan and nothing was gained by the man's sacrifice. Aaron recommends avoiding getting involved unless directly threatened. In the case of the Arlington shooting, a better course of action would have been to render medical aid, call 9-1-1 and be a good witness.
