The Fifth Commandment
 
It reaches far beyond the taking of a life. Anger, contempt, neglect,
and indifference can all diminish the life of our neighbor. Luther turns the commandment
toward a positive calling: protect life, defend the vulnerable, and help the neighbor flourish.
Listen to Episode 5 of The Ten Commandments: Law. Gospel. Life.

The Fourth Commandment
 
What does it mean to honor those who came before us? It cannot require silence about
abuse, dishonesty, or harm. In Episode 4, Pastor Marty moves beyond simple obedience
toward truthful remembrance, intergenerational responsibility, and the strange communion
we share with those who came before us and those who will follow. Listen to Episode 4 of
The Ten Commandments: Law. Gospel. Life.

The Third Commandment
 
You are not a machine, and the world does not depend upon your constant labor. Sabbath is
God's holy gift: rest for bodies, communities, workers, animals, and the earth itself. In
Episode 3, Pastor Marty explores why rest is not laziness, but an act of faith - and why the
command to rest carries social and economic consequences. Listen to Episode 3 of The Ten
Commandments: Law. Gospel. Life.

Who gets to say, “God told me”?
 
The Second Commandment is about far more than swearing. It confronts pastors, politicians, and movements that use God’s name to make their own power unquestionable.
 
Episode 2: How Do You Use God’s Name?
 
The Westview Church Podcast with Pastor Marty Lettow.

The Ten Commandments.
 
Forget the commandments as a religious checklist. Luther saw something much deeper.
 
Episode 1 starts with the big one: What is your god? What do you actually trust when everything starts falling apart?
 
Join Pastor Marty Lettow for Law. Gospel. Life. and a fresh, unapologetically Lutheran trip through all Ten Commandments.
 
🎙️ Westview Church Podcast — Episode 1: What Is Your God?

Has Christianity lost credibility?
 
Not because people stopped asking spiritual questions—but because too often the church has failed to protect the very things it claims to believe.
 
In this episode, Pastor Marty Lettow explores the Eighth Commandment through the lens of Martin Luther, the Good Samaritan, and the call to bear truthful witness in a culture shaped by outrage, politics, and division.
 
What if the Eighth Commandment is about much more than “not telling lies”?
 
What if it calls Christians to actively protect their neighbors, defend the truth, and recover the hard work of grace?
 
Join us for a thoughtful conversation about integrity, discipleship, and why truthful witness still matters.

What if the things we own are actually shaping us?
In Part 2 of Stuff, Pastor Marty explores how our possessions, technology, and memories influence who we’re becoming—and asks what it might look like to live with a little more freedom.
