As we approach Pentecost, how are Lutheran Bible Translators and its partners making God’s Word accessible to more language communities every day? Jessica Albers (Member of the Advancement Team with Lutheran Bible Translators) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about how many language communities have access to God’s Word in their language and how many are without, what Lutheran Bible Translators is doing to fill the gap, some misconceptions about how the Bible translation process works, Jessica’s experience traveling to the Shekgalagari Bible dedication in Botswana— including who she met and why this experience was so impactful for her— and Lutheran Bible Translators’ historic goal for Bible translation by 2033. Learn more about the work of Lutheran Bible Translators at LBT.org.

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.
