How are Lutheran Early Response Teams (LERT) trained? The Rev. Michael Meyer (Director of Training, LCMS Disaster Response and Managing Director, LCMS Office of National Mission), Kris Schuldt (LERT Training Committee, District Disaster Response Coordinator, LCMS Missouri District), Bryce Cramer (LERT Training Committee, Chainsaw trainer), and the Rev. Trae Fistler (LERT Training Committee, District Disaster Response Coordinator, LCMS Mid-South District) join Andy and Sarah to talk about what LERT is, how LERT teams serve and why proper training is so important, why the LERT training curriculum was updated, and how teams can be trained using this new curriculum.
