The Good Word PodcastWhat Lutherans Teach About... AbortionAll people are made in the image of God, beloved by God. This is true for women, all people who seek reproductive health care, all people who are pregnant, and unborn life in the womb. In this episode, Pastor Molly and Pastor Rebekah talk about what ELCA Lutherans teach about abortion - a complex topic that can stir up strong emotions. At the core of this conversation is love for all of God's Beloved people and acknowledgement of the messiness of reality.

The Good Word PodcastWhat Lutherans Teach About... Government, Civic Life, and GodIt's election season and words like government and politics get us fired up before we even hear the rest of the sentence. In this episode, Pastor Molly and Pastor Rebekah turn to some of the ELCA's teachings and messages about government and civic engagement to help unpack the Lutheran privilege and responsibility to be active in the political sphere - not in a partisan way, but in a way that lifts up the good of all people, especially the poor and vulnerable.

The Good Word PodcastWhat Lutherans Teach About... Sin and SufferingJoin Pastor Molly and Pastor Rebekah for a conversation about what Lutherans teach about sin and suffering. At some point in life, we experience something that makes us ask "Where is God in this suffering?". The Bible offers many examples of how people have been in relationship with God through suffering, yet our experiences of suffering are so complex that no one answer seem so be sufficient all the time. In this episode, we offer a Lutheran understanding of suffering, how sin plays a role, and where God might show up in the midst of it all.

The Good Word PodcastWhat Lutherans Teach About... Scripture and Biblical InterpretationIn this episode, Pastor Molly and Pastor Rebekah share what Lutherans teach about scripture and biblical interpretation. The Bible is complex and has been used in all kinds of ways over the centuries. For Lutherans, we see scripture as a sacred story. We seek an expansive understanding that takes into account historical context, literary intention, and the identities or "lenses" that color our reading.

The Good Word PodcastWhat Lutherans Teach About the SacramentsJoin Pastor Molly and Pastor Rebekah as they explore together what Lutherans teach about the Sacraments. For Lutherans, the Sacraments are Baptism and Holy Communion.
These sacraments are not merely special rituals that stay within the confines of church buildings. Rather, these practices ground Christian identity and sense of belonging in the teaching and ministry of Jesus. Therefore, we are free and empowered to engage in the world around us knowing that we are beloved by God and can return again and again to the sacraments for refreshment on our journey of life and faith.
