<p>On this episode, I talk with Joel Biermann of Concordia Seminary in St. Louis about Christian leadership, the challenges facing the Church today, and the hope that continues to anchor God’s people. Dr. Biermann—longtime professor, pastor, and current candidate for president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod—reflects on the experiences that shaped his calling, the role of theological formation in a changing world, and what it means for Christians to stay centered on Jesus amid cultural uncertainty.</p><p>Whether you’re Lutheran, from another Christian tradition, or simply curious about faith, this conversation offers clarity without insider language (or at least we explain that language!), depth without jargon, and a thoughtful look at how the Church can engage the world with both conviction and compassion. Dr. Biermann brings a steady, pastoral voice to questions of identity, mission, and the future—and invites listeners to consider where God may be calling them to lead, serve, and hope.</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0758678657" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Day 7: For Work, Rest, or Play by Joel Biermann</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JFMWXO" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>The Quest for Holiness by Adolf Koberle</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p>Please take a quick second to rate this podcast on your favorite platform—Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you’re listening.
