Welcome back to My Seminary Life Presents: Fish FryDays the Musical. Today, we move into Act II with a look at what is considered to be the greatest country song of all time, "I Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash. This is a love song that acknowledges faithfulness and self-denial, two key aspects of a Lenten fast. However, as we see in Cash's iconic song and from Scripture, the motivation to be faithful and to deny oneself does not come from inner strength, but from a greater experience that moves one to fiathfulness.

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. Today is the start of My Seminary Life Presents: Fish FryDays the Musical. Each week, I will sit down to discuss a song that I think captures the posture, themes, and Scriptures that impact the Lent season. To begin, I talk about Beautiful Things by Gungor; a song of lament that reminds us to groan our humanity, the earth's final redemption, but also points us to God's ability to bring life from desperate places.

In a compelling analysis, Joshua Noel curates a discussion centered on three significant albums that he believes illuminate the current cultural and spiritual landscape, particularly in relation to the Church's role. He begins with 'I said I love you first' by Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, where he navigates the intricate layers of emotional vulnerability present in the lyrics. Noel draws attention to the album's exploration of love, jealousy, and existential musings, suggesting that listeners should engage with these themes to better understand the complexities of modern relationships.

The narrative then transitions to the Lumineers' 'Automatic', where Noel delves into existential philosophy, examining the inherent struggles of finding purpose in an increasingly chaotic world. He discusses the album's somber tone and its reflection on mortality, contrasting it with the more uplifting messages found in other folk music. Finally, Noel concludes with Mumford and Sons' 'Rushmere', presenting it as a significant contribution to the ongoing dialogue between spirituality and contemporary culture. He posits that the album serves as a prophetic call for the Church to reassess its approach to issues of morality, kindness, and community engagement, ultimately encouraging listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and practices in light of the music discussed.

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. Today, for our Fish FryDay devotional, we are taking a look at Rend Collective's newest song "The Prayer of Saint Patrick" inspired by The Prayer/Breastplate of Saint Patrick. After briefly recapping the history of Rend Collective and their recent campaign to "Make Rend Folk Again," I dive into the words of both the song and the prayer, look at their differences, and focus on the general message of these words that Jesus is in us and is our strength. As we travel through this wilderness, there will be times when hunger pains sit in, both literal and existential. The words of this prayer renew our mind to the reality that it is Christ in us our strength, not by our own might.

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. In today's episode, I introduce our new series Hymns of Christmas; we will be journeying through the birth of Jesus guided by our favorite Christmas hymns. Today, we start with Israel's longing for the Messiah, which began all the way back in the Garden. I walk through Micah 5:2-6 to show a prophecy that Israel could hold on to during God's silence during Greece and Rome's occupation. Israel longed for a Serpent Crusher Messiah who would save them from captivity, and the hymns Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel and Come Thou Long Expected Jesus capture that longing that Israel had.
