In this episode, I get to chat with author and pastor Luke Kjolhaug about his book Sinner Saint and why the sinner-saint paradigm, commonly known as simul iustus et peccator, is so formative for understanding the life of faith. We explore how this dynamic shapes preaching, pastoral care, sanctification, and our daily Christian lives.

Luke is the pastor of Elim Lutheran Church in Osakis, Minnesota, where he lives with his wife, Bethannie, and their two daughters. He holds degrees from Wheaton College and Lutheran Brethren Seminary. You can connect with him on Facebook and Instagram.
