This week Pastor Laitinen and Pastor Zarling interview Pastor Drew Dey from First Evangelical Lutheran Church in downtown Racine. Pastor Dey was assigned from the Seminary to First Evan last spring so we discuss call day and assignments into the public ministry. First Evan and Water of Life also share a joint Lutheran elementary school called Wisconsin Lutheran School, so we talk about the unity needed in operating a school between two churches.
We study Luke 13:1-9 and 1 Corinthians 10:1-13. We discuss why bad things happen to people. We examine the eastern religious concept of karma and why Christians shouldn’t believe in it. Because Pastor Dey and Pastor Zarling are Star Wars fans, we deliberate how these eastern religious concepts display themselves throughout Star Wars canon. For the super Star Wars fans we even delve into Grey Jedi!
Stay thirsty, my friends. Quench that thirst in the Water of Life.
