SUMMARY:Lay Bible Institute
DESCRIPTION:Solum Verbum: What Word Alone Can Do in the Gospel According to John\nDr. Bruce Schuchard\nAnd God spoke. By His word this world was made\, made by Him who is speaking\, whose word is everything. The Gospel of John names Him “the Word” (ὁ λόγος). Jesus\, the incarnate Word of God\, it seems\, is of utmost importance. For\, in its very first verse\, the Gospel states that “In the beginning [!] was the Word\,” (John 1:1 ESV). In this workshop\, we will consider who Jesus is (“the Word”) and what Jesus does. \nRegister Learn more\n

The course will also engage his pastoral concerns through writings such as\, “The Life of Anthony” which will help\, along with his other writings\, in assessing Athanasius’ continuing relevance for the church today as a pastor and theologian. There will be lectures as well robust class discussion. Students will be responsible for reading some of the texts ahead of time in preparation for class discussion. \nParticipants should read “On the Incarnation” and “The Life of Anthony” by  Athanasius\, as well as the following: \n\n\nAnatolios\, Khaled. “Athanasius.” New York: Routledge\, 2004\nBehr\, John\, trans. “St. Athanasius the Great of Alexandria: On the Incarnation.” Greek original and English Translation.

SUMMARY:Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop – Professor Eatherton in Springfield\, MO
DESCRIPTION:Faith Formation Through Music and Worship\nMany forces are vying for the attention of our youth — movies\, social media\, friends\, the internet. What are we as parents and teachers\, pastors\, and church leaders to do? Our children will be formed as they grow up. Worldly forces will contend with spiritual forces to attract and command their interest. It is our duty as caretakers to make sure that what forms them is the Word of God. The music and worship of the church has always been a significant way to inculcate the faith in children. \nThrough the Biblical narrative\, through the early church and the church fathers\, and throughout the church’s history\, we see a picture of God instilling and growing the faith of His people in the regular proclamation of His Word through singing and ritual. In the 21st century the church has produced many resources for parents\, teachers\, and children to continue this educational process. Come and learn how your congregation can facilitate the formation of children both at home and at church with practices that are important and lasting. \n\n\n\n\nDr. Samuel Eatherton\nAssistant Professor of Practical Theology\, Kantor\, Dean of Chapel and The Kreft Professor for Music Arts\nConcordia Seminary St. Louis under Dr. Samuel Eatherton direction recently received a grant from the Lilly Foundation to put into place a program to teach people in local congregations about Children in Worship—and faith formation through singing\, music\, and worship. He has written scholarly articles on a variety of church music topics in “Lutheran Service Book: Hymnal Companion\,” “Concordia Historical Institute Quarterly” and “The Hymn: A Journal of Congregational Song\, Issues in Christian Education.” An accomplished musician\, Eatherton also is a composer in collections published by Concordia Publishing House. He has conducted and performed organ recitals\, hymn festivals and choral concerts. \n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\nDAY\nTIME\n\n\nMonday\, June 9\n1-4 p.m.\n\n\nTuesday\, June 10\n9-11:30 a.m.\n\n\n\n1-4 p.m.\n\n\nWednesday\, June 11\n9 a.m.-noon\n\n\n\n\n	Registration cost: $150\n	Registration deadline: June 7\, 2025\n	Location contact: Dr. Nicholas Hagerman\n	 \n	Register\n	More Workshops\n\n\nNote: The schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the workshop presenters. \n\n

SUMMARY:Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop – Professor Sutton in Dublin\, OH
DESCRIPTION:Making Sense of Online Worship: Navigating Ecclesiological Challenges in the Digital Age\nResearch shows that in the course of one turbulent year\, livestreaming technology and online worship services became a ubiquitous part of modern ecclesiology. Christian communities are now faced with adjudicating their decisions — either ending their online worship or continuing it indefinitely. Amid all the questions that arise when a congregation engages in online worship\, one question has the greatest saliency: how to balance\, in the long run\, embodied and digital practices within the Church community. In this workshop\, Sutton will introduce his research in online worship\, artificial intelligence and also provide a framework for how churches can navigate ecclesiological challenges in the digital age. \n\n\n\n\nDr. Trevor Sutton\nAuthor and Senior Pastor\, St. Luke Lutheran Church in Lansing\, Mich.\nDr. Trevor Sutton has written several books\, including “Redeeming Technology” (coauthored with Brian Smith\, M.D.) and “Authentic Christianity” (coauthored with Gene Edward Veith Jr.). He teaches\, writes and speaks frequently about technology and the church in a digital age. \n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\nDAY\nTIME\n\n\nMonday\, June 30\n1-4 p.m.\n\n\nTuesday\, July 1\n9-11:30 a.m.\n\n\n\n1-4 p.m.\n\n\nWednesday\, July 2\n9 a.m.-noon\n\n\n\n\n	Registration cost: $150\n	Registration deadline: June 16\, 2025\n	Location contact: Dehlia DeLeon\n	 \n	Register\n	More Workshops\n\n\nNote: The schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the workshop presenters. \n\n

SUMMARY:Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop – Professor Lakies in Monterey\, CA
DESCRIPTION:Shining Bright in a Secular Age – A Church for the 21st Century\nDecline\, loss of influence\, distrust\, an uncertain future. These are among the concerns of many church leaders\, especially as they try to do ministry among people who seem not to need a God. The philosopher Charles Taylor has famously called our age “secular.” What are the features of this secular age that either inhibit or foster a faithful Christian witness? How does the institution of the church shine once again like a beacon on a hill? How can individual Christians faithfully share the Gospel in a culture that often considers us irrelevant? This workshop/seminar will explore these questions and help you to discover a renewed hope in the possibilities of bringing the Good News to people in our secular age. \n\n\n\n\nDr. Chad Lakies\nVice President for Ministry Engagement for Lutheran Hour Ministries\nDr. Chad Lakies is the vice president for ministry engagement for Lutheran Hour Ministries in St. Louis\, Mo. His work centers around helping the church become more outreach focused by empowering it to share the Gospel with non-churched individuals at more personal levels. His former life as a nonbeliever provides exceedingly relevant experience for thinking about how to engage with our friends and neighbors outside the kingdom of God. He is the author of “How the Light Shines Through: Resilient Witness in Dark Times” (Concordia Publishing House\, 2024)\, a guide for helping the church engage in winsome witness while facing the challenges of contemporary culture. He and his wife Bethany have two daughters\, Anabel and Daphne. \n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\nDAY\nTIME\n\n\nThursday\, July 10\n1-4 p.m.\n\n\nFriday\, July 11\n9-11:30 a.m.\n\n\n\n1-4 p.m.\n\n\nSaturday\, July 12\n9 a.m.-noon\n\n\n\n\n	Registration cost: $150\n	Registration deadline: June 26\, 2025\n	Location contact: Rev.

SUMMARY:Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop – Professor Peter in Millvale\, PA
DESCRIPTION:Decoding the Apocalypse: Study of the Book of Revelation\nThe title of the last book of the Bible is translated as Revelation\, but its original title was Apocalypse. This word literally means “the unveiling.” The purpose of this book of the Bible is to unveil the purposes of God in human history. For many people\, however\, it remains veiled — an obscure\, mysterious and confusing book. The reason many people do not understand the Apocalypse is that it is written in coded language that can only be interpreted by decoding its symbolism. This study will look at the most significant coded symbols of the book and the keys to their interpretation. It will provide a broad sweep of the major themes and messages of Revelation to better understand this book of the Bible. This “unveiling” will enable you to see Christ\, His church and history — past\, present and future in a whole new light. \n\n\n\n\nDr. David Peter\nProfessor of Practical Theology; Dean of Faculty; and Alumni Relations Adviser at Concordia Seminary\, St. Louis\nDr. David Peter has been a faculty member since 1998 and has led well-received lay studies on the book of Revelation — hence this workshop! He also has published a book on leading mid-sized congregations\, “Maximizing the Midsize Church: Effective for Leadership for Fruitful Mission and Ministry.” Those who know him recognize that he brings a solid theological understanding of the church to the topic as well as an openness to how we live out our Lutheran ecclesiology in the world today. \n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\nDAY\nTIME\n\n\nTuesday\, July 15\n1-4 p.m.\n\n\nWednesday\, July 16\n9-11:30 a.m.\n\n\n\n1-4 p.m.\n\n\nThursday\, July 17\n9 a.m.-noon\n\n\n\n\n	Registration cost: $150\n	Registration deadline: July 1\, 2025\n	Location contact: Dan Hahn\n	 \n	Register\n	More Workshops\n\n\nNote: The schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the workshop presenters. \n\n

SUMMARY:Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop – Professor Burreson in Vesper\, WI
DESCRIPTION:Treasures Old and New: A Workshop on Adult Faith Formation\nThis workshop addresses the missional challenges pastors and leaders in the LCMS face in a “post-Christian” context. It introduces a model of adult faith formation based on early church catechumenal practices. Participants will explore new ways to form disciples\, shape Christian identity through the Bible and sacraments\, and foster hospitality in congregational life. Focused on a broader approach to adult faith formation\, this workshop emphasizes faith formation as a flexible process rather than a “new program.” Pastors from three exemplary parishes will share their experiences\, showing how faith formation practices can revitalize parish life and engage the entire congregation in shaping the faith of new Christians. \n\n\n\n\nDr. Kent Burreson\nProfessor of Systematic Theology\, Louis A. Fincke and Anna B. Shine Professor of Systematic Theology\nFew people know the liturgical landscape as well as Dr. Kent Burreson. He has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the liturgy’s history — how it has remained the same and how it has changed. Just as importantly\, Burreson’s work demonstrates how liturgy and our worship life form the faith within us and shape our lives within the world. \n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\nDAY\nTIME\n\n\nMonday\, July 21\n1-4 p.m.\n\n\nTuesday\, July 22\n9-11:30 a.m.\n\n\n\n1-4 p.m.\n\n\nWednesday\, July 23\n9 a.m.-noon\n\n\n\n\n	Registration cost: $150\n	Registration deadline: July 7\, 2025\n	Location contact: Rev.

SUMMARY:Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop – Professor Hensley in Santa Fe\, NM
DESCRIPTION:The Book of Psalms and the Christ\nOur Lord often quoted the Psalms and said that they testify about Him (Luke 24:27; John 5:39). In doing so\, Jesus confirmed the psalter’s prophetic witness about Himself as Israel’s coming Messiah. In this workshop we will consider how the psalter’s arrangement contributes to the Psalms’ rich picture of Christ. We also will explore ways we hear Christ speaking as He identifies with sinners. Together\, we will join Him in prayer\, praise and thanksgiving to God. \n\n\n\n\nDr. Adam Hensley\nAssociate Professor of Exegetical Theology\nDr. Adam Hensley joined the faculty of Concordia Seminary in 2023.He previously served as professor at Australian Lutheran College (ALC) in North Adelaide\, South Australia\, Australia\, a college of the University of Divinity\, where he taught in Old Testament studies and served as dean of chapel.

SUMMARY:Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop – Professor Genter in Hays\, KS
DESCRIPTION:The Apocrypha: Origins\, Import and Use Among Lutherans\nWhile not of the same authoritative status as our canonical Old Testament\, the books known as the Apocrypha have been a treasured possession of the Church from very early times.

SUMMARY:Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop – Professor Golden in Apex\, NC
DESCRIPTION:It Stands Written: The New Testament Appropriation of the Old Testament\nChrist and the apostles regularly ground their teaching upon the word of the Lord given through Moses and the prophets. While the fulfillment of prophecy is regularly cited in the New Testament\, that is not the only dynamic. At times\, the language of Old Testament texts is significantly transformed in New Testament texts. Then there are allusions and echoes of Old Testament texts within the New Testament that stop short of direction quotation yet build on the prior text. We will explore the various dynamics of the New Testament’s use of the Old Testament\, consider the Christological significance of those dynamics\, and reflect on how our interpretive practice can reflect those dynamics. \n\n\n\n\nDr. Kevin Golden\nDirector of Resident Field Education\, Associate Professor of Exegetical Theology\, and Dean of Theological Research and Publication\nDr. Kevin Golden is known as a caring\, dedicated parish pastor who has distinguished himself as a preacher and teacher. Golden served as the pastor of Village Lutheran Church in Ladue\, Mo.\, prior to joining the faculty of Concordia Seminary in 2021.

SUMMARY:Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop – Professor Nafzger in Conover\, NC
DESCRIPTION:Beginning with the (Communal) End in Mind: Confirmation\, Christian Formation and the Life in the Congregation\nMany congregations are dissatisfied with the current state of their Confirmation ministry. They should be. Barna recently reported that 59% of 18–29-year-olds with a Christian background have dropped out of church. Statistics in the LCMS are even worse. A recent study by LCMS Youth Ministry showed that less than two of every 10 children we baptize are still members of LCMS congregations when they graduate from high school. This fits what many congregations already know from local experience: many young people — often confirmed young people — are leaving our congregations. And they aren’t coming back. \nWhat should we do? One response is to take a close and critical look at how we conduct Confirmation ministry in our congregations. This involves asking tough questions about how well we are preparing young people for life in an increasingly post-church culture. Another response is to examine how well we are cultivating a communal life for all our members. \nIn this workshop we will do both. We will take a close look at Confirmation and how we raise up young people. We will also discuss ways in which congregations and pastors might cultivate a more communal conception and practice of the Christian life. Our goal will be to imagine (and work toward) a future for Confirmation and Christian formation that is better equipped to handle today’s challenges\, as well as the challenges that we can’t yet see coming. \n\n\n\n\nDr. Peter Nafzger\nAssociate Professor of Practical Theology\, Director\, Student Life\, Coordinator of International Seminary Exchange Programs\nDr. Peter Nafzger is a gifted theologian and speaker. He joined the faculty at Concordia Seminary in 2016 after serving as a pastor for nine years in Minnesota. While in Minnesota\, Nafzger served as a leader (and continues to do so) in the planning of our National Youth Gatherings. His dissertation (and hence his expertise) centers on a Lutheran approach and the use of Scripture over and against the fundamentalist approaches that often dominate American Christianity. \n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\nDAY\nTIME\n\n\nFriday\, Sept. 19\n6-9 p.m.\n\n\nSaturday\, Sept. 20\n8:30 a.m-noon\n\n\n\n12:45-4 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n	Registration cost: $150\n	Registration deadline: Sept. 5\, 2025\n	Location contact: Rev.
