The pandemic affects us in many ways, and in today

The pandemic affects us in many ways, and in today’s episode of Word and Work: An Intersection, we hear about the challenges — and faith-sharing opportunities — the coronavirus brings to one of our Lutheran high schools. Tune in to @kfuoradio at 2 p.m. today as President Emeritus Dr. Dale A. Meyer talks with Dr. Timothy Brackman, principal of Lutheran High School North in St. Louis, and Cindy Burreson, director of counseling. “Our theme this year is ‘Inseparable.’ Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ,” Brackman says. “Maybe we aren’t together in the same physical location, but [we remind] students every day that Jesus has died for us, risen for us and nothing can separate us from His love.” Find the whole episode any time on the Concordia Theology blog!
