David Strand, the clearly mentally challenged dude who took the ax to the only truly Confessional Lutheran Voice to the world, said in a recent interview (source is this story in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) that the new Afternoon Show they replaced Issues Etc. with " is different from "Issues, Etc. in that it doesn't dwell largely on Lutheran apologetics at a sophisticated level. It still takes its Gospel proclamation seriously, but it finds new ways to capture attention."
In other words, he said that they replaced a sophisticated apologetics program, that has brought thousands to understand that Confessional Lutheran theology is Biblical theology, with the stinking dung of generic American evangelicalism. That is the same stuff that you can scrape off of the bottom of your shoe after trolling through TBN for a while. Sure it will "capture attention" as he said, but only long enough to scrape away it's annoying smell, it will not feed anyone nor will it lead anyone to true understanding of Law and Gospel or Word and Sacrament. Instead it will lead them to Joel Osteenism...
Satan is surely rejoicing.
