Why do our churches have a liturgy? The word liturgy simply means an order of worship, and every church has one whether they know it or not. In this episode, Dustin and Levi talk about why it's important for churches to have an intentional order to their services to guide us in the worship of God.

Levi and Dustin finish this short series looking at the Solas of the Reformation by talking about soli Deo gloria. What does it look like for ministries, pastors, churches, and all Christians to live in a way that gives glory to God, and to him alone? They seek to answer this question in the latest episode of Reforming the Ozarks.

In this episode, Dustin and Levi talk about the next sola of the Reformation, Solus Christus, or Christ Alone. They discuss how Christ is the only Mediator between God and man and the only name under heaven by which we can be saved.
