This week we are covering another chapter from the book “Duty to Defend,” and a chapter on gun free zones which is based on an interview with Rev. Ralph A. Abernethy III. We are going back to the grooveyard of forgotten favorites, with the original audio from that interview, originally released in 2016 in episode 43. Lloyd and Rev. Abernethy discuss what should the Christian gun-owner's attitude be toward gun free zones. Armed Lutheran Radio is a listener-supported podcast.

This week Lloyd waffles on for a bit about the dangers of AI and how to use it safely. Like the gun, he argues, AI is a tool that can be used for good or for ill, but its constant improvement–combined with ill intent–poses a grave threat to the truth.

This week we are looking at another article from the book “Duty to Defend”, this one by the Rev. Jason Reed.

This week we are looking at another article written by the late Rev. Richard Bolland from the book “Duty to Defend”.

Some anti-gun Christians have argued that since we confess that our help comes from the Lord (Psalm 121:2) then we don't need guns to help protect us. To be consistent, one would have to make the same argument about any number of earthly tools that we rely on. Rev. Tyrel Bramwell breaks down the faulty logic in this claim in another from our series on the book “Duty to Defend.” Armed Lutheran Radio is a listener-supported podcast.

n this week's episode, we continue our walk through the chapters of the book “Duty to Defend” with a review of Luke 22:38. When the disciples present two swords to Jesus, He replies “it is enough.” Does that mean there is some heavenly restriction on the number of firearms we may own? Is that a minimum?

In this week's episode, we continue to look at articles from my book, “Duty to Defend,” with an chapter by Rev. Gaven Mize. In 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, St. Paul speaks of spiritual weapons and spiritual warfare. Do these verses mean that Christians should give up earthly weapons and defense against earthly threats?

In this week's episode, we continue to look at articles from my book, “Duty to Defend,” with an chapter by Rev. Willie Grills. In John 13:15, Jesus calls his disciples to follow his example. He did not fight back against those who came to arrest, torture, and ultimately kill him. So, does that mean that we, as his followers, should do the same when it comes to guns and self-defense?

In this week's episode, we continue our walk through the book “Duty to Defend” with a chapter by Rev. Drew Newman on Matthew 10:28. Gun-control Christians have argued that gun owners only own guns because of fear. And since we should not fear the home invader who can only kill our bodies, we should not own guns to defend our lives. Makes sense, right? Right. Rev. Newman explains the context and why those arguments fail. Armed Lutheran Radio is a listener-supported podcast.

In this week's episode, we continue our walk through the book “Duty to Defend” with a review of the chapter by Rev. Thomas Stark on Micah 6:8.
