    I appreciate Dr. Ahlman's passion for what he does and his readiness to speak on it. His statement about if 80% of what you do is what you love, then it will "feel like a calling, not a job." That's true for me in motherhood and in teaching. It's still work, but it feels worthwhile and like work that you want to do. Also, leadership can be lonely, so it's encouraging to hear him say that one leader can change an entire group of people; I hope that gives hope to leaders who feel discouraged.

    I’m an ex evangelical married to a Lutheran and joining this family/community has been the worst experience of my life. The lack of maturity, faith, wisdom, self reflection is astounding. But I also believe the Catholic Church is pagan at its core and Luther correctly identified it as the Antichrist in scripture. Then the Catholic Church enlisted the Jesuits to counter a lot of the reformers and now we have a big mess of half Catholicism half Protestantism.

    "We are losing, but our best players aren't even in the game." Really appreciate this comment as someone who else leaned for many years more contemporary and as Husband, Father, and Lutheran Elementary school teacher is rediscovering the beauty of Lutheran Confessions, Liturgy, Hymns, Tradtions... really everything historically Lutheran is such a blessing and stands in stark contrast to the indistinct and worldly practices of the contemporary movement and evangelicalism broadly. Praying that more Pastors and leaders in our churches rediscover the importance of what makes us Lutheran and share with unmeasurable joy (as Pastor Wolfmueller advocates) the truth of God's Word. God bless your work Pastor Stecker! Appreciate you!

    My qualm with online seminary is that it makes it much, much more difficult for the church to determine if the pastoral candidate has major character flaws that would disqualify them from ministry. Instead of many professors, and other trained clergy (such as field work and vicarage supervisors) continuously evaluating the student, he would have one person, his own pastor as the judge. I would worry that more bad characters would slip through the cracks. Edit: my second issue is pushing for programs with the LCMC and NALC when there is already an online option with the AALC, a body we are in fellowship with and are more theologically aligned with

    I think Pr. Ahlman should just join a typical Evangelical church. He’s a Gospel reductionist who thinks that bringing people into the church is by using man’s means and ideas. Talks about everything but God’s Word and Means of Grace. Talks and talks and talks. The usual business growth leadership talk that the world uses and yet what has he said? Nothing. Typical drivel one hears in mega weak theology type “churches”! Higher criticism didn’t work to destroy the LCMS, so now irreverence to authority, dismissing the Book of Concord with lip service and Contemporary “worship” are the new means to cause disunity within Confessional Lutheranism. God “told him”. Therefore, everyone else is wrong. That’s charismatic talk that’s used constantly. Sad…..

      Effectively, "as with one heart." The practice of this is effectively seeking to understand each other, so that our hearts truly are together. If there's a reason that I'm wrong, or my heart isn't in the right place, I'd want my brothers in Christ to talk to me to help me get where I need to be, that we agree as with one heart. We used to do this as the Missouri Synod; in the early conventions, there were votes that were effectively 90/10, which today we might find as an overwhelming majority, to be rejoiced over. They saw this as a sad occasion, that 10% of the brothers disagreed - and so they talked it out, so that they could all be convinced of the truth, whether the 90% was entirely right, or the 10% had a concern that did not occur to the rest. For the sake of unity around the truth, you work to agree, instead of agreeing to disagree.

    Something that is confusing to an outsider...why do they call tens of thousands of churches the "church." It's like saying "One body, 50,000 blood types" we say, "did you go to college" but we don't call all colleges "the college" despite colleges probably having more in common than churches do. How did we come to the presupposition that unity is possible among such a large spectrum of beliefs and practices? Is it because the leaders get their training at the same divinity schools?

      @@HaleStorm49 Basically, yeah. Lutherans define the Church as all of the people who gather around God’s Word and Sacraments, whether they be Baptists in Alabama or Eastern Orthodox in Russia. Instead of fast food franchises, think about it like Alcoholics Anonymous. The congregation is a chapter of something bigger, even if there’s disagreements or divisions between groups. And you’re right, there’s an institutional side that we call “the Church” too, the institution that binds different chapters together. In that case “the Church” refers specifically to the LCMS
