The Wittenberg Hour

Mrs. Michelle Bauman joins us to celebrate National Lutheran Schools Week and discuss the blessings of love, marriage, and family.

______________

Colossians 1:17 declares that Christ is "before all things, and in him all things hold together."  Yet, when we look at modern marriage and family structures, things seem to be falling apart. Join us for an honest and faithful discussion about love, marriage, and family an the blessings they hold because of Christ. ~Mrs. Michelle Bauman

Rev. Anthony Dodgers joins us to celebrate National Lutheran Schools Week and discuss reflecting God's image when we create using words.

______________

We were created in the image of a Creator, and so we are meant to reflect His image, to mimic Him and join in His work of creation.  This is what J.R.R. Tolkien called "sub-creation," especially when we create using words- when we tell stories.  But what's the difference between fantasy and falsehood?  Can stories be deceptive?  What makes a story bad?  What makes good stories endure?  We were created through Christ and for Christ, so we want all our sub-creations to reflect Him and the story He has written for us. ~Rev. Anthony Dodgers

Mrs. Katie Schuermann joins us to celebrate National Lutheran Schools Week and discuss the importance of storytelling in the life of the Christian and how every good story is a mere reflection of the greatest, truest story ever told: the fall of man into sin and God's word of salvation for him in Jesus Christ.

______________

From fables to fairytales, stories throughout history have taught and inspired readers to better honor, love, and serve one another. ~Katie Schuermann
