Full Show Notes

 

 

Welcome to the debut episode of Anchored in Christ, a podcast about clear, Christ-centered faith in a noisy world. Doug Hannah and Pastor Curt Hoover kick off the series with a raw and refreshing conversation about why so many disillusioned Christians are rediscovering Lutheran theology—and why it matters now more than ever.

 

Whether you’re a lifelong Lutheran, a wandering evangelical, or someone who’s quietly frustrated with what passes for church today, this episode is for you.

 

In this episode:

 

  • Why Lutheran theology is about authentic, historic Christianity—not style or nostalgia

  • The surprising comfort of the Divine Service, where God serves us

  • Why Law and Gospel are essential and often forgotten

  • How forgiveness and grace are actually delivered in the church

  • Why your Sunday morning might not be doing what you think it is

  • Why so few people know about Lutheranism—and why that’s changing

 

 

Pastor Curt’s Word of the Week: “Divine Service”

We don’t gather to serve God—we gather to be served by Him. Learn why that changes everything.
