What do Lutherans Believe? with Rev. John Merrill | Episode 27
What does it actually mean to be a Christian—and what makes Lutheran Christianity distinct?In this episode, I sit down with my pastor, Pastor John, inside our church sanctuary for a wide-ranging conversation about the Christian faith, Lutheranism, historic worship, and the questions many Christians have about older liturgical traditions.We discuss what it means to be a Christian, Law and Gospel, why Lutherans baptize infants, what Lutherans believe about Holy Communion, the role of liturgy and historic creeds, salvation by grace through faith, common misconceptions about Lutheranism, and why some younger Christians are becoming interested in more historic and traditional forms of Christianity.Whether you're Lutheran, evangelical, Catholic, Orthodox, non-denominational, or simply curious about Christianity, my hope is that this conversation provides a thoughtful introduction to Lutheran belief and practice while keeping the focus where it belongs: on Christ.Topics include:- What it means to be a Christian- What Lutherans believe- Law and Gospel- Baptism and infant baptism- Holy Communion- Liturgy and historic worship- The Apostles' and Nicene Creeds- Salvation by grace through faith- Lutheranism and other Christian traditions- Why younger Christians are interested in historic Christianity- Faithful Christian livingThanks for watching Zack Riordan Unfiltered.

Who Owns America's Data Centers? | Episode 26
Who owns America's data centers? As AI infrastructure expands and data centers become some of the most valuable real estate in the world, it's worth asking who is building them and why. In this episode, I examine the history of the data center industry, the Red Sea Group, and Serverfarm to understand how an Israeli real estate company entered the U.S. data center market. Drawing from public records and primary sources, this conversation explores ownership, history, and the questions that deserve closer examination.
