Has music—and intense worship experiences—quietly taken the place of the Sacraments?

In this episode, Lex Lutheran and I talk honestly about how powerful music and emotional worship environments can compete with and even distort where Christians are taught to look for God’s presence.

God has not left us guessing.

He has promised where He will be for us—delivering the forgiveness of sins through His Word and Sacraments. When experience begins to replace promise, assurance shifts from Christ’s work to our feelings.

This conversation isn’t anti-music.
It’s pro-promise.

Watch or listen to the full episode of The Study Boys and let’s talk about where faith is meant to rest.

We react to another Dr. Eric Phillips video. Here it is: https://youtu.be/y6Bm8abr1XQ

What does it actually mean to “keep the law”?
In this episode, Lex Lutheran and I react to popular Christian takes that blur law and gospel—turning commands into promises and promises into pressure. We walk through why the law must remain law, why the gospel must remain gospel, and how confusing the two burdens consciences rather than freeing them. This distinction isn’t academic—it’s pastoral, biblical, and necessary for faith.

In this episode of The Study Boys, Lex Lutheran and I dive into Druski's latest satirical take on megachurch culture and prosperity gospel trends. We're not here to defend bad theology—quite the opposite. We believe that humor can be a wake-up call. It's a healthy challenge for the Church to discern, to mark and avoid what's harmful, and to guide people toward healthier, Christ-centered communities. Tune in and let’s talk about why a little satire might just be what we need.
