Ever wondered how Lutheranism stands its ground in the modern world? Join us as we explore the vitality of Lutheran theology amidst today's cultural shifts. We navigate the complexities of church planting and rejuvenation, particularly in the East Coast's Lutheran-lite regions. Our conversation digs into the grace-centered message of Lutheranism, its adaptability, and the balance between the certainty of Scripture and the acceptance of its mysteries.
This episode isn't afraid to confront the uneasy truths within the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, including the fears and challenges that impede progress and innovation. Together with Matt, we dissect the concerns over traditional liturgy's relevance, the pitfalls of a low trust culture, and the necessity for risk-taking leadership. Matt shares his firsthand experience with the Kairos network, emphasizing the transformation possible when we train everyday Christians as missionaries and foster a culture of discipleship.
Concluding our deep exploration, we emphasize the importance of building bridges across cultural and religious divides. I share personal tales of connecting with Muslim neighbors and the powerful, non-confrontational missionary approach that resonates with love and the incarnational example of Jesus. And as we wrap up, Matt and I discuss the pressing need for sending out missionaries, innovative training models, and fulfilling the Great Commission in ways that are unconventional yet profoundly effective.
Do you have a dream to reach people with the gospel, but feel stuck? There is hope for you.
Join us on an incredible learning journey to discover, develop, and deploy your calling to bless the world around you with the love of Jesus!
