WE CONFESS JESUS: The Heart of Lutheranism with Pastor Trevor Sutton

Lead Time

What does it mean to be Lutheran in today's world? Join us on Lead Time as we sit down with Trevor Sutton, senior pastor at St. Luke Lutheran Church in Lansing, Michigan, to explore this question. Discover how confessional Lutheranism stands apart from its more liberal counterparts, and why confessing Jesus and adhering to the authority of scripture remain central. We discuss the theological shifts within Lutheranism over the decades and their far-reaching implications.
Ever wondered if church doctrines should adapt to new trends? We tackle this and more as we examine the practical application of Lutheran confessions, questioning whether they should be treated as unchangeable laws or adaptable guides. From the rise of Pentecostalism to the challenges of online worship, we delve into the concept of a living doctrine that balances tradition with modernity, ensuring faith remains relevant in today's ever-changing landscape.
As we face today's existential dilemmas, our conversation shifts to current societal questions like, "What's the point?" We explore how the grand biblical narrative can offer answers and bring meaning amidst modern nihilism and identity crises. From skepticism towards science to the role of technology in sharing the gospel, we navigate these complex issues, stressing the importance of a distinctive Christian life that fosters hope and truth. Don't miss this compelling episode that blends theological depth with practical insights for navigating faith in a fragmented world.

Do you have a dream to reach people with the gospel, but feel stuck? There is hope for you.
Join us on an incredible learning journey to discover, develop, and deploy your calling to bless the world around you with the love of Jesus!
