Ep. 80 - Moments in Church History: The Life & Ministry of Martin Luther with Dr. Matt Shrader

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Matt Shrader to discuss a moment in church history and the life and ministry of Martin Luther. We discuss Luther's spiritual struggle with personal sin and the "light bulb” when he realized that righteousness is a gift from Christ rather than something earned through the church's system. Dr. Shrader describes the spark of the 95 Theses, Luther's defiant stand at the Diet of Worms, and his translation of the Bible into the common tongue. Finally, we explore the practical impact of the Reformation on the home, including Luther’s marriage to Katherine von Bora and his belief that every vocation, from mining to mothering, is a holy calling from God.
