God's Unfolding Promise To Renew the Whole Universe
The official podcast of Grace and Hope Lutheran Churches in Columbia City, IN. The primary focus of this podcast will be confirmation (or catechism). However, there will hopefully be discussions and topics of interest to others as well. For confirmation will we be using Daniel Erlander's Manna and Mercy as a guide, as we explore God's Unfolding Promise to Renew the Whole Universe. From time to time there may be off-topic episodes addressing contemporary events or other items we find interesting.

Episode 8
Exile was a defining moment in the history of Judaism and Christianity. Defeated and taken into exile, the ancient biblical people had to reimagine their faith, identity, and understanding of God. New questions were asked, as suggested by Proverbs 30:24-28 "Four things on earth are small, yet they are exceedingly wise..." The animals in the proverb represent the condition of the ancient Hebrews. They were without strength, a king, and power; however, they had spread throughout the empire. In such a state, they had to reimage what it meant to be a people of God.
