I’ve been a part of one ELCA Lutheran church or another my whole life however there is still much to learn. This podcast is an easy listen and insightful. I’m so happy to have come across this podcast! Thank you!
This is a fantastic podcast. I recently have got more involved in my faith and our church. I've been looking for something like this for awhile, but nothing was quite what I was looking for.
I had to search all over and finally found your show recommended on a reddit thread. I believe one of you were even commenting on it.
Anyway thank you for what you do.
Friendly, conversational episodes introduce distinguishing features of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Leaning slightly nerdy, it still is accessible to a regular person with rusty knowledge. A fun and easy way to learn more about about the ELCA, especially for those new to the denomination.

Two Lutheran hosts explore the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America with warmth and wit, unpacking theology, history, and everyday church life. Episodes blend accessible explanations of worship practices, denominational structure, and Luther's legacy with practical topics like candidacy processes, church leadership, and how faith communities engage culture and justice. A recurring strength is connecting scholarly context to real-world ministry—featuring guests who span theologians, educators, pastors, and musicians—to illuminate Lutherans' identity, liturgy, and outreach in contemporary settings.
