ALR459 – Peace with Everyone

This week Lloyd reviews another article from his book “Duty to Defend,” this one by Rev. Paul J. Cain, Jr. In Hebrews 12:14 we are told that we should “strive for peace with everyone.” Does that mean we must give up our Second Amendment rights in order to fulfill this…


ALR437 – Training my Hands for War

We are continuing our series on the book “Duty to Defend” with an article by Rev. Guillaume Williams (of online hangout fame). Psalm 144:1 (“Blessed be the Lord…who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle”) has been used as a proof text for gun rights. But are…

ALR281 – Pro-Gun = Pro-Life

Today we are talking about a rather touchy subject that has many tongues wagging this week: abortion. Why do we mention it so much? And why does being pro-gun mean being Pro-Life?

Is Christian support for gun-rights a barrier to the Gospel for those outside the faith? Lloyd takes on an article from a snarky East Texas progressive who thinks so. Plus tips from Mia, Aaron, and Sgt. Bill.


ALR126 – Where (Social) Justice and Peace Kiss

In March of 2018, progressive clergy held an interfaith press conference held at Augustana Lutheran Church in Portland, Oregon, led by Augustana’s pastor, Mark Knutsen.
