This week Pastor Laitinen and Pastor Zarling interview Pastor David Wierschke who serves at Trinity Lutheran Church in Caledonia, WI. Pastor Zarling and Pastor Wierschke invite Pastor Laitinen to join them this summer as they bike for beer to the various beer gardens in Milwaukee. We talk about the need for pastors and people to go on retreats, much like the disciples did on the mountain with Jesus before heading down into the valley of suffering and death.
We discuss the Gospel lesson for this Sunday where Luke writes about Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus. We talk all things Transfiguration – Jesus’ exodus, why Moses and Elijah, the voice of the Father from the cloud, coming down the mountain to carry the cross of discipleship, and more. Then we also discuss the Epistle and Old Testament lessons where Moses is wearing a veil after being in the presence of the glory of the Lord.
Stay thirsty, my friends. Quench that thirst in the Water of Life.
