ALR92 – The Gospel for Gun-Loving Christians

What happens when the pastor of a progressive, social justice obsessed church buys a modern sporting rifle? Freakouts and hand-wringing, of course.

ALR073 – A Peaceful Plethora of Pizza, Pop, and Free Parking

In this week’s episode of Armed Lutheran Radio Lloyd and Pastor Bennett take on a “sermon” from a Methodist church in Phoenix that is basically a political speech disguised as a sermon. Filled with bad statistics, horrible exegesis, and the suggestion that peace can be achieved with pizza, pop and…
