Using an article authored by Pastor Wolfmueller entitled “Criteria for Discerning the Usefulness of Praise Songs” (http://www.hope-aurora.org/docs/praisesongcruncher.pdf) we listen to a praise song (or other Christian song) and read the lyrics and by asking the 5 diagnostic questions, determine it’s usefulness in the church.
In today's edition of Table Talk Radio we crunch the praise songs "Days of Elijah" and "East to West," but first we play "Bumper Sticker Theology/Church Sign Theology" and some emails as well. All the entries for today's games were sent in by listeners at questions@tabletalkradio.org

Don't go to another youth gathering without the Youth Gathering Survival Kit provided by Table Talk Radio. The YG Survival Kit consists of 4 regular Table Talk Radio games: Law and/or Gospel, Praise Song Crunchier, Which Ladder and the checklist on how to tell if your being emotionally manipulated by a youth speaker. In this edition, you will see Pastor and Evan demonstrate how to play these games at a youth gathering using audio from the National Youth Gathering of the LCMS.

In today's edition of Table Talk Radio, we play everyone's favorite games. First, we play Name that Theologian and then the all famous Praise Song Cruncher.
After reminiscing about the good 'ol days (like before Table Talk Radio) we play (by popular demand) Praise Song Cruncher and one lightning round of Bible Bee.
In this edition of Table Talk Radio, Pastor and Evan use the praise song cruncher to analyze two different praise songs. One gets absolutely slaughtered in the cruncher, and the other does quite well. After that they play Bible Bee with the Law-Gospel twist.
