Hosts Pastor Brandon Warr and Pastor Filmore Alvarez launch their new Lutheran podcast with an unscripted and humorous discussion about creating the show itself. The episode begins with some playful banter about their lack of preparation and choosing the show’s name “The Bookcase Behind Me” – a tongue-in-cheek reference to the common backdrop of pastor video blogs.
Key discussion points:
- The hosts introduce themselves and their respective churches
- They joke about joining the crowded space of Lutheran podcasts
- Discussion of “meme culture” in Lutheran online spaces
- Pastor Alvarez shares his experience with creating theological memes
- Brief mention of their plans to cover serious theological topics in future episodes
- They discuss their intention to balance humor with serious theological discussion
- The hosts express their desire to have guest speakers on future episodes
- Commentary on internet culture and its intersection with theology
- Discussion of their target audience and communication style
Note: Future episodes will feature more structured theological discussions while maintaining their signature blend of humor and doctrine.
