In this episode of the Outlaw God Podcast, Dr. Steven Paulson and Caleb Keith continue talking about Martin Luther and his mentor Johann von Staupitz. They explain why Luther came to focus on faith, Christ, and the preached Word instead of love, feelings, or human effort. They also look at how Luther came to see the sacraments as Christ's promises of forgiveness and assurance, directing Christians away from their feelings and toward Christ's Word.

In this episode of the Outlaw God Podcast, Dr. Steven Paulson and Caleb Keith talk about different ways Christians understand the theology of the cross. They explain how the cross is not something naturally beautiful or desirable, and why trying to learn to "love" the cross can turn Christianity into a matter of changing what we desire. Luther begins to see that faith is not about what we see or what we do, but about hearing the Word of Christ and trusting His promise of forgiveness.
