Following His resurrection, one of the first things Jesus did was to give His church a profound gift: the authority to forgive sins, as well as the duty to withhold forgiveness from those who remain unrepentant. This significant aspect of faith may have been a topic of discussion in your Confirmation classes, yet the question remains—have you fully embraced this divine gift? This episode delves into the profound significance of Jesus’ institution of the Office of the Keys and the practice of Confession and Absolution.

The Rev. Dustin Beck, pastor of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, TX, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to discuss Confession and Absolution.

Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
