Soren called himself "One without authority." He had considered the pastorate but felt God's call to be a writer.

So, the Upbuilding Discourses were first for him. To uplift himself and perhaps also the series of the "single individuals" who'd glean spiritual benefit from his writings and whom he called "My readers."

His goal: "Introducing Christianity to Christendom." The Supplemental notes that we finished up today provide a glimpse into the insults he endured, the struggles he had with prayer, and other things. Including running out of money.

We are officially finished the 18 Upbuilding Discourses and will now take on "Training in Christianity." Added some music to the Intro and will change the thumbnail picture for the podcast after this final episode of Season 3 is posted.

Each Season is a book and most Episodes are reading through that given book. The thumbnail picture will show that. The books are the focus and guests are secondary. It is the only way we will get through all of his books.

Remember, in the end, Soren wanted to be known as a poet. To present and express the faith in his own unique literary manner. "I call myself a learner." That is how the book ends. To be a teacher, one first must be a learner.
