Spiritual & Religious - A message from Bishop Eaton on prayer. "For Luther, God was real, and this real God wants real people to be in real communication with God. We are not to fret about elegant phrases or creative and original prayers. We shouldn’t worry about folding hands or raising hands or standing or kneeling. It’s not about technique. Prayer is about relationship with God. God has created us for God’s self and we are not whole apart from this relationship."

Better Questions Podcast - From their description, "We believe questions are an important part of every faith journey. So often in church we either ignore questions or allow our answers to those questions to become divisive lines in the sand, distinguishing the chosen from the heretics. We want to help you find better questions that are more helpful to your faith and that bring unity to the church."
Questions are a huge part of our ministry with our young people. Consider looking for episodes that engage your interest & listen together.

The Parent Cue - From their website, "We strive to help parents and church leaders understand how, by combining their influences, they can accomplish more for the spiritual well-being of a child than either could individually." Parent cue has a little of everything, blog posts, podcasts, & an app. Their model is helping parents work on one thing a week to "to help move their child toward a deeper faith and a better future."

Back off: How to get out of the high-pressure parenting trap - Kids are facing increased pressure from peers, teachers, and parents. And really the list could go on. A challenging article and opportunity to check in with your kids. (June 11, 2018)

Our First Calling - Living Lutheran - Excellent article, especially for anyone with a graduate.

Uplift - Our very own Pr. Natalia's devotional project! Also available as a podcast.

Ask Science Mike - (Podcast) - How does science inform our life, faith, beliefs, & more? Can we agree with both science & our religious/faith background? In a word, YES! In much more detail?
