In an ever-increasingly digitized world, isolation from true community has become the reality of many. God has a better vision for His people – a way of life that makes people members of each other through their connection to Christ. Listen in as Pastor Brian Davies talks about the Christian community as remedy for isolation.

We believe that God is the author and sustainer of all life. We also know it can be hard to speak about the intrinsic value of life, health and the family when it feels like the world is trying to drown us out.

We’re right here beside you. In this podcast of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod’s Life, Health and Family Ministries, we’re coming alongside one another as a community of Christ’s redeemed people. Together we’ll explore life, health and family issues in a way that honors our heavenly Father’s value of human life, serves our neighbor, shares the faith and connects us to others who are doing the same. Join us, so that together we can be friends for life.
