Take a seat at our virtual table as Tardelli Voss, a missionary director for the Lutheran Mission Society in San Diego, and I explore the intriguing intersection of soccer's growing popularity, faith, and mission work.
From our conversation, you'll discover a compelling perspective on the American Christian Church's need for reformation, as Tardelli passionately speaks about unity and dialogue between different Christian traditions. We delve into the importance of the missionary mindset, character skills in mission work, and the concept of the Great Connection - the combination of the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. We all agree that collaboration and friendships with other pastors play a crucial role in mission work and that the Holy Spirit uses our love for others to draw people deeper into a relationship with God.
Finally, we challenge you to consider the importance of deeper friendships and partnerships within the Church. The need for showing up and being fully present at conferences and worship services is discussed, as is the theology of friendship. We touch on the impact of the trans congregational context on God's kingdom and urge fellow pastors to prioritize caring for each other's souls and creating safe spaces for confession and absolution. So, whether you're a soccer enthusiast, a pastor, or someone interested in matters of faith and unity in the Church, this conversation promises to deliver some thoughtful insights.
