Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church and Jesus Deaf Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas, joins Andy and Sarah on the commemoration of the destruction of Jerusalem and the martyrdom of St. Lawrence to talk briefly about the destruction of Jerusalem, and then to discuss society and the church at the time of St. Lawrence, what we know about his life and service to the Church, what led to his martyrdom, and most importantly what we can learn from his example in his life and his death.
