Three Padres & A Shepherd Podcast Episode 2: Is It Really Finished

Welcome to the “3 Padres & A Shepherd Podcast" where three North Dakota Lutheran Pastors and a real-life shepherd combine serious theology with fun laughter. This is a podcast from the local church and for the local church; however, the local churches of these three pastors do not take any responsibility for the banter, foolery, and assertions that will follow.
Air Date: March 14th of 2024
Episode 2 Details: On today's podcast, we ask the question, "Is it really finished?" It sure seems that in today's religious landscape, people are looking for new prophecies, trying to build utopic kingdoms, and continually offering up sacrificial works to validate the ego. Can we say that Christ is enough, that He finished everything, or must we search for the new thing God is supposedly doing; must we attempt to usher in God's kingdom through our own endeavors, or must we offer up our own versions of sacrifice to live with a peaceful conscience? Is it really finished in Jesus, or is God just getting started?
