Well if you ever wondered why certain things in Lutheran churches remain the same or why we don't have fellowship with other church bodies that believe differently. This is where it all begins. Let's talk about the church.

Our takeaway's from the Luther's Large explanation of the Lord's Prayer

How much is A.I. able to reflect and articulate reality, and how much is it a reflection of its creator?  What should we be concerned about with A.I, and what A.I. questions should Christians be ready to answer?

Topics:

What is A.I.?

current uses and issues with A.I. 

Potential issues with A.I.

Pastoral Predictions

What can we learn about ourselves through wrestling with a.i.?

You've heard it brought up at school board meetings, you've heard political pundits talk about it, but what business is it for pastors to talk about Critical Race Theory too? While we don't know what it is like to be a minority growing up in America and we do acknowledge the system isn't perfect, Critical Race Theory is not the fix. In fact, it is incompatible with Christianity,

#cricital race theory, #debunking, #racism, #antirascist

James calls us murderers, adulterers, and judges, but what does the inspired writer inspire us to be?

Due to weather and sickness, we are not putting out a live show this week. But we don't want to leave you with nothing. With so many congregations seeking pastors we thought we would reach back into the archive and share a podcast with you on the call. It was first recorded when Pastor Harley was running solo on the podcast and was serving at Trinity Lutheran in South Dakota.

We can't wait to be live again and sharing with you more of real life and living faith.
