10-25-2026 “The Face of Grace: Grace Alone” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

October 26, 2026 • 25 mins
On this Reformation Sunday, we’ll be thinking about one of the four “banners” of the Reformation – Grace Alone. Paul writes very directly about the fact that we are saved by Grace Alone – not by our words or our righteousness. It’s a beautiful declaration. What does that mean for us? As we’ve explored all series long, there are very practical ways that our being saved by Grace Alone plays o...

10-18-2026 “The Face of Grace: Jesus” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

October 19, 2026 • 24 mins
Isaiah pulls no punches when it comes to expressing very clearly in his prophetic writing who the Messiah, the Promised One is – Jesus, the one true God! There is a richness beyond measure that we receive in these opening verses of chapter 45. And then St. Paul, in his first letter to the Thessalonians, gives us with equal clarity the “so what?” of knowing The Face of Grace, which we see and know in Jesus. There a...

10-11-2026 "Radical Hospitality" by Pastor Glen Schlecht

October 12, 2026 • 24 mins
This week’s readings have us thinking about banquets – first the banquet that our Lord is preparing for all His people, which we read about in Isaiah 25. And then in the Kingdom of Heaven stories Jesus tells in today’s Gospel reading, what we read about Radical Hospitality and the invitations God gives are not all rainbows and unicorns. There are some very coarse warnings here, especially for those who choose not ...

10-4-2026 “The Face of Grace: Throw Out the Trash” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

October 5, 2026 • 22 mins
St. Paul in his letter to the Philippians makes an apt comparison between Jesus and everything else in life – everything else is garbage! He does a beautiful and powerful job of expressing the absolute difference The Face of Grace makes in our lives – there is no comparison when it comes to knowing, believing in, and following Jesus. Jesus expresses clearly how all this happens – “The Lord has done this!&rdq...

9-27-2026 “Repentance, Humility, and Living Grace” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

September 28, 2026 • 20 mins
The Old Testament prophet Ezekiel lays it out in no uncertain terms – “Repent! Turn away from all your offenses!” He expresses the outcome of repentance, which is, by God’s help and by His grace, a changed life – a new heart and a new spirit. Paul in Philippians 2 expresses more of the sentiment of what our lives as people of God should look like as we live under God’s grace and with humility, th...

9-20-2026 “The Face of Grace: It’s Not Fair!” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

September 21, 2026 • 24 mins
Grace isn’t fair. Period. And thank God it isn’t! Jonah absolutely did not want God to show any sort of grace or compassion to the people of Nineveh – they didn’t deserve it! The Lord called Jonah out on his self-pity and hypocrisy. Still Jonah complained, even to the end! The parable Jesus told is another example of just how unfair grace is and the seemingly backward ways in which God works (backward from o...

9-13-2026 “The Face of Grace: Forgiveness and Relationships” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

September 14, 2026 • 31 mins
All three readings for this Sunday speak to the critical importance of forgiveness, in particular as it’s tied into relationships. From Joseph and his brothers at the end of Genesis and the assurance of how God uses all things for good, to Paul’s question of why we judge each other and treat each other with contempt, to the Gospel and Peter asking how many times he’s supposed to forgive the person who sins against...

9-6-2026 “Hope Even When We’re Wrong” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

September 8, 2026 • 22 mins
Right after Peter makes his profound and powerful statement of faith in Jesus, it seems he turns right around and puts his foot in his mouth. Jesus shares with His disciples what had to be a very intimate moment for the group when He told them what was going to happen to Him with His coming suffering, death, and resurrection. Peter said, “No way!” And Jesus essentially called Peter Satan. But hope remained – even ...

8-30-2026 “Hope in Jesus” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

August 31, 2026 • 26 mins
It seems like a rather obvious matter, that we would hope in Jesus. We’ve been talking about that very thing all summer long. And yet it’s worth taking time to reflect on a critical question Jesus asked His disciples – “Who do you say I am?” We’ll consider not only what Peter’s answer was as well as Jesus’ response to Peter, but we’ll consider what that means for the lives we&rs...

8-23-2026 "Hope in the Face of Success and of Depression” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

August 24, 2026 • 27 mins
The Old Testament reading in 1 Kings 19, which follows directly on the heels of one of the prophet Elijah’s greatest victories, puts us face-to-face with one of God’s most powerful prophets. And what we see in Elijah could be a mirror where we see ourselves – both the good and the bad. Hope comes to us in knowing that the Lord is with us in any and every circumstance; that it is He who works both in and through us...

8-16-2026 “Wanna Walk on Water?” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

August 17, 2026 • 25 mins
Peter was bold. Peter was brash. Once he got over his initial fright at seeing Jesus coming to them walking on water, he challenged Jesus – “If it’s You, Lord, invite me out to join you on the water!” He did it – but that was a short walk. What do we learn about hope in the face of the scary things we have to face in our lives? What about this account of Jesus’ ministry can instill hope in us?

8-9-2026 “Hope with Empty Hands” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

August 10, 2026 • 23 mins
We know that spiritually-speaking, we have nothing – empty hands as we stand before the Lord. In Isaiah 55, He invites us to come to Him to buy, eat, and drink, even though we have nothing in-hand to pay for it. In the Gospel, Jesus ordered His disciples to feed 5000 people, even though their hands were essentially empty – all they had was five loaves of bread and two fish. At the outset, there didn’t seem to be m...

8-2-2026 “Hope in the Kingdom of Heaven” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

August 3, 2026 • 23 mins
Today’s Gospel in Matthew 13 is Jesus telling a series of very short parables in quick succession – all of them about the Kingdom of Heaven. What do we learn about hope from what He shares with us? We’ll couple those short parables with the Old Testament reading and one of many beautiful images the Lord gives to us in His Word about what eternity with Him is going to be like. Hope? Absolutely!

7-26-2026 “Hope Through What We Cannot Understand” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

July 27, 2026 • 25 mins
Romans 8:28 is one of those well-known and oft-quoted passages of Scripture. It is a passage that is filled with hope! The verses that follow build on those promises and give reason for our hope to grow and flourish – because of the love we know in Jesus. It’s a love that no one can take away. It’s a love that fills us with hope! I might also relate this to Solomon’s request of God for wisdom – instead...

July 20, 2026 • 24 mins
In Romans 8, Paul speaks about the tension between the flesh and the Spirit. We hear confident promises that we ARE God’s children! He expresses how even creation itself is groaning, awaiting redemption and Christ’s return. He ends this section by speaking about hope – we can’t see it, but we know it is real, it’s a promise. In Jesus’ parable of the weeds, we get a sense of what St. Paul was writ...

The analogy that Isaiah spoke of connecting the rain and the snow with God’s Word is picked up by Jesus in the well-known parable of the sower and the seeds. We’ll look at both of those reading this day and be reminded of the power that comes to us in God’s Word – and the hope we find in it.

St. Paul expresses a frustration that we all feel – we want to do good, we want to do better, we want to be better. But it just seems like we keep falling in the same hole over and over and over again. We’ll explore that frustration (and reality) that is very much part of our lives. Where can we find hope in spite of what we experience with this frustration with sin and my sinful actions? In the throes of our struggles,...

How does He do it? We’ll dig deeply into these amazing words and promises from our Lord here in Romans 6.

In Romans 5 St. Paul speaks clearly of the unusual place from where our hope originates – from suffering! It’s surprising and unexpected, even unbelievable, from a human vantage point. But this is the way our Lord works and how He chooses to bring hope into our lives – even in the most unusual of circumstances with outcomes we could never foresee. Psalm 86 urges us to come to the Lord in those times of suffering a...

June 15, 2026 • 24 mins
The Gospel reading is the short account of Jesus calling Matthew to come and follow Him and be one of His disciples. Many looking on would likely question Jesus’ decision in a significant way – “Don’t you know who this man really is? Why would you select Him as one of Your disciples?!” The hope this brings to us is to understand how our Lord chooses to work – and those in whom He chooses to work....

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
