Ruslan of Bless God Studios asks if Protestant Communion is too casual. Lex Lutheran and FLAME respond with a deeper dive into the Eucharist: Scripture, history, and theology on the Lord's Supper—where Christ gives His true body and blood for you.

Religion vs. Relationship?A False Choice (S1E5)
Lex Lutheran and FLAME react to Pastor Jonathan Fisk and dig into the popular slogan, “Christianity is a relationship, not a religion.” We show why that either/or frame is unhealthy and unbiblical—and how the Gospel gives us a better both/and: a living relationship with Christ within the religion He actually gives His Church (Word and Sacrament, confession and creed, prayer and community). Instead of pitting doctrine against devotion, or church practices against personal faith, we trace how Scripture and the historic Church hold these together for our comfort and growth.
