What does righteousness have to do with good works? The Rev. Brady Finnern, President of the LCMS Minnesota North District and host of KFUO Radio’s Concord Matters, joins Andy and Sarah to talk about the Formula of Concord reading plan he created for 2025, including the questions concerning our righteousness that are addressed in this month’s readings. What does righteousness have to do with good works? What are the Smalcald Articles? How do we speak about our works when they are done in faith? Where do we find all of this in Scripture? Find the full reading plan from The Lutheran Witness at witness.lcms.org/2024/reading-plan, and find correlating Concord Matters episodes at kfuo.org/formulaofconcord.
