Over the years, children's ministry in the church, from Sunday school to "VBS" to summer camp, has been used as an evangelistic tool for outreach into the broader community rather than a means of catechizing the baptized. In this episode, Pastors Roland Weisbrot & Connor Longaphie ask if this is faithful to our confession, and whether there might be a better way to approach our ministry to the young

In this episode, Pr. Roland and Pr. Connor discuss the question of Ecclesiastical Polity within the modern Lutheran Church and with three options as seen in North America. That of canonical Episcopal polity, soft/nominal episcopal polity, congregational and lay-led polity, and presbyerial/synodical polity. Included in this conversation are the starting point of the conversation, the source of revelation and consideration, the offices of the church, the centralization of power, and fears of mishandling and misuse Examples of Lutheran synods discussed include the ELCiC and ELCA, CALC and LCMC, NALC, and LCC, LCMS, and WELS. In which ways are these similar? In which ways are they different?

A lot of people ask the question of whether or not popular "apologetics" are effective or not. But are they even orthodox? The Pastors discuss.
