In this episode, Jonathan is joined by Father Ife Ojetayo - Church of the Holy Trinity (Syracuse, NY).

Ife shares his journey to pastoral ministry, his experience at Westminster Theological Seminary, and some of his joys and struggles in ministry.

He and Jonathan also discuss the importance of preaching God's word as the method in which we make disciples. "What you win people with is what you win them to," as someone somewhere said at sometime. And it is true. We want to win people to Christ - so we preach Christ and only Christ... all the time.

This week, Jonathan is joined by his friend and fellow minister of the gospel, the Rev. Tyler VanFossen.

Tyler is a deacon and teaches Humanities and Bible at a classical Christian school in South Carolina.

In this episode, Jonathan and Tyler discuss what it is about liturgical worship that drew them to Anglicanism, how liturgy shapes our perspective of ourselves and the world around us, and why it's important to think through how we approach God.

This week is a sermon from Matt on Philippians 2:12-13. What does it mean to "work out" salvation? And why should you do that with "fear and trembling?"

We hope you enjoy this week's podcast!

In this week's episode, Matt leads us through Article 2 of the 39 Articles of Religion. This one is all about Jesus - his divinity and his humanity.

How is it that Jesus is both God and Man? Why should that be important to us? On the cross, did the Father really forsake the Son? And how does the Lord's Supper play into all of this?

Well, we hope this episode can shed some light on those questions and many more!

We talk about a lot of stuff in this episode. Everything from the English Reformation, reformed theology, the regulative and normative principles of worship, imposing ashes on Ash Wednesday, how tied to the reformers we should be in our own thinking, and ChatGPT (of course). It's all connected though under our broader conversation of how the Anglican church came to be. We hope you glean some insight and encouragement from our conversation!

We also added a link in the show notes to a debate that Matt had a few years back over whether we should impose ashes on Ash Wednesday or not.

This is a recording from a class Matt taught back in 2021. In this class Matt introduces the 39 Articles o Religion - the doctrinal statement of the Anglican Church. In this episode Matt walks through the historical backdrop of the 39 Articles and dives into Article 1: On the Trinity.

This week we talk about the foundations of the English Reformation and some of the major principles of what it means to be Anglican.

Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day in Lent. This episode is a recording of Matt's Ash Wednesday sermon given in 2020.

We pray that this Ash Wednesday and Lent you will keep your eyes focused on Jesus Christ who bled and died for you.

This week on The Cranmer Fellows Podcast, we discuss some ins and outs of pastoral ministry, such as:

- What kind of man is the pastor supposed to be?

- What does a pastor do all week?

- What do some of the odd Anglican terms like "vicar," "rector," and "priest" mean?

- Why, in Anglicanism, can only priests and bishops administer the Lord's Supper?

- First steps to take for anyone thinking about entering into pastoral ministry.

- Much more!

This is a long lost episode, dug up now for (we hope) your benefit. This is the first part of a discussion that Jonathan, Matt, and Tyler had a couple years back. In this episode we discuss how Church of the Good Shepherd began making pastoral training a priority, and we dive into some history of the Anglican church.

In this episode, Jonathan and Matt discuss the pastorate, sermon writing, and how making the Sunday service welcoming is not the same as fashioning the entire service around the desires of the outsider.
