More congregational members witnessing to the unchurched means more souls being reached with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s simple math. Twenty witnesses will reach more than ten. A hundred will reach more than twenty. A thousand will reach more than a hundred. But how do we mobilize the vast army of witnesses sitting in WELS pews each week?

How can we (and our congregations) meaningfully connect with the pe...

Our culture tells us a lot about what it means to be a man, from the woke deconstruction of gender to red-pill reactions. But how does the Bible define manhood, and what practices does the Bible give us for encouraging Biblically manly behavior?

We are tasked with using all of them in service to the Owner, who provides Scriptural guidance in how we are to use those resources. This session will highlight the joyfu...
