Do you know a high school student who might be interested in becoming a church worker? The Rev. Craig Reiter (Admissions Officer, Director of Vocatio – High School, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis), the Rev. Christian Schultz (Admission Counselor and Director of Christ Academy, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne), and Nate Demlow (Student Director of Christ Academy, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne) join Andy and Sarah to talk about the Vocatio – High School program at Concordia Seminary and the Christ Academy program at Concordia Theological Seminary. They share what a typical day looks like in these programs, what students learn and experience, why chapel is a central focus of these programs, and why each program is helpful for high schoolers considering church work.

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.
