In this episode, Dr. Jamison J. Hardy, President of the Concordia University System, joins Tim to discuss the exciting progress being made across LCMS universities — from record growth in church work enrollment to new scholarship initiatives and strategic partnerships.
Dr. Hardy unpacks the $5,000 Church Work Scholarships, the refocus on Lutheran identity, and how the CUS is working with Set Apart to Serve and the seminaries to strengthen pathways for the next generation of pastors and teachers.
They also discuss:
- The latest on Concordia Ann Arbor
- The push to unite around mission rather than division
- Transparency in the “prior approval” process
- What it really means to uphold “Lutheran identity”
- How the LCMS can move forward together in love, truth, and courage
This candid, hope-filled conversation models how LCMS leaders can engage tough topics with both conviction and grace.
