How do youth learn about applying the Lutheran faith to the culture around them in LCMS Youth Gathering sessions? We sit down with the Rev. Dr. Scott Stiegemeyer (professor of theology, church history, and bioethics at Concordia University Irvine) at the 2025 LCMS Youth Gathering to talk about what he’s experienced at this Gathering, how he sees this as a valuable experience for youth, and what youth learned in his two sessions: “Male and Female, Gender in the Light of God’s Word” and “Christianity, Disability, and Our Own Personal Easter.” Learn more about the LCMS Youth Gathering at lcmsgathering.com.
Hear Dr. Stiegemeyer on The Lutheran Ladies’ Lounge episode “Kitchen Table Talk: Transgenderism, Sexuality, and God’s Design for Humanity.”
As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.

Today’s episode of The Coffee Hour is underwritten in part by Concordia University, Chicago. You can learn more about Concordia University, Chicago at cuchicago.edu.
