We head to the northern third of Illinois for today’s conversation! The Rev. Dr. Allan Buss (President, Northern Illinois District of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod) joins Andy and Sarah to answer the now infamous Lightning Round of Favorites (which every COP member will be subjected to) and to talk about where he grew up, his journey to seminary, where he served in parishes and what he learned from those experiences, why visitation is so important to him in his vocation, his duties as a district president, what makes the Northern Illinois District unique, and why he loves being a pastor in the LCMS today.
Learn more about the LCMS President and Vice Presidents at lcms.org/about/leadership/president and the 35 LCMS Districts at lcms.org/districts.
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.
