Issues, Etc.
Issues, Etc. calls itself "Talk Radio for the Thinking Christian" and "Christ-Centered Cross-Focused Talk Radio." They discuss a wide-range of topics from a Lutheran Christian perspective, including Scripture, doctrine, contemporary issues going on in the world, and more. One of my favorite segments is "Today in Pop-Christianity." I also really enjoy "Introducing the Books of the Bible." You can find all of their previous segments under "Talk > On-Demand Archives." Check them out via the button bellow.
KFUO Radio
KFUO has the tagline of "Christ for you. Anytime. Anywhere." They are a Lutheran Christian radio station based out of St. Louis, MO. They play music (hymns, choral, etc.), broadcast Issues, Etc. on weekdays from 3pm-5pm, broadcast morning and evening prayer services, and so much more. Check them out via the button bellow.
The Mad Christian
The Mad Christian is associated with Rev. Jonathan Fisk, author of three of the recommended books above. The tagline is, "We want to stand amidst the ruins of the world, not wallow in the muck with those who have no hope." Rev. Fisk puts out YouTube videos every Saturday morning ("Saturday Morning Chill"), uploads podcasts, and has a wonderful Newsletter you can sign up for (and I recommend you do) on his website. Check his website (and links to his content) out via the button bellow.
World Wide Wolfmueller
World Wide Wolfmueller is associated with Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller, author of two of the recommended books above. The tagline is, "Law and Gospel in Every Ear." Rev. Wolfmueller puts out YouTube videos on a regular basis, hosts Cross Defense on KFUO, and has plenty of good content and resources on his website!

Around the Word Devotions
If you're looking for free daily devotions, this is a great place to start. Around the Word posts new devotion PDFs every week so that you can download, print, and use their devotional sheets. Their devotion sheets are two-pages. The first page is a possible outline for your daily devotions routine if you don't yet have one, and the second is the actual devotion for each day, along with a "Theme of the Week" section and a little about the author. You can download the devotions and take a look at the website at the button bellow.

Books

This is the English Standard Version of the Bible with study notes, a cross-reference system, introduction sections to each book of the Bible, Luther's Small Catechism in the front, several articles within, etc. It's a great Bible to have on your shelf!
