It is National Lutheran Schools Week, and we’re celebrating the gift of Lutheran schools in our communities! Dan Snyder (Headmaster, Concordia Academy, Wichita, KS) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about the original dream for opening a classical Lutheran school in the Wichita area, the need for a classical school in the community, how this dream moved from vision to reality, the community’s response to a classical Lutheran school, what the transition looks like for students coming to Concordia Academy from other school settings, and the feedback students and families have given about their experience at Concordia Academy. Learn more about Concordia Academy at cawichita.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. Have a topic you’d like to hear about on The Coffee Hour? Contact us at: listener@kfuo.org.

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