When I realized the law was one thing, and the gospel another, I broke through and was free. – M. Luther
1. Believe it or not, this week marks not only 499 years since the Protestant Reformation kicked off, but one year since The Mockingcast did. Coincidence?! You decide… In commemoration of both anniversaries (but mainly the former one), we put together a special episode. Scott, Sarah and myself open the festivities before handing the mic to Duo Dickinson and Paul Zahl for an extended reflection on the meaning of the day. Click here to listen.
2. Be sure to take a gander at Nick Lannon’s wonderful “Merry Halloween” post if you haven’t recently. A seasonal favorite for sure. Click here to peruse our Martin Luther archive, too.
3. On the grace-in-practice front, pretty amazing to read about Pope Francis’ trip to Sweden to celebrate the 500th Anniversary.
4. Mark your calendars for October 19-21, which is when the Here We Still Stand: A Reformation Conference takes place in San Diego. I’ll be there, and hope you will be too.
5. Don’t forget the Luther Insult Generator.
P.S. Huge thank you to all those who helped make this past weekend’s conference in Oklahoma City such a beautiful time! Recordings will be available soon.

A very appropriate acknowledgement of the Big 499th! Well done, DZ and colleagues!
Here’s a link to a quincentenary countdown clock: http://luther2017.tv/
Listening to the Mockingcast, I seriously welled up with gratitude tears, and I cannot thank you enough for the labor of love and freedom it is! Hearing you all is like a centering ritual, keeping me sane in grace in this crazy CA Bay Area world. Love and thanks!
