Episode Description

In this episode, we read “A Brief Exhortation to Confession” from the Large Catechism by Martin Luther.


Luther speaks pastorally and plainly about confession—not as a burdensome law, but as a Gospel gift. In a world that either excuses sin or is crushed by guilt, he calls Christians to something beautifully simple: confess honestly, and receive Christ’s absolution with confidence.


This reading reminds us that private confession is not about compulsion, but comfort. Not fear, but faith. Not human effort, but Christ’s finished work delivered personally into your ears.


If this ministry strengthens your faith, please consider supporting the charitable work of The Last Christian Church on Earth. Your prayers and generosity help us proclaim Christ faithfully and serve those in need—body and soul.


Listen. Confess. Be absolved. Live free.
