Episode notes
Complexity In U.S.–Native American History
- Christian response to U.S.–Native American history requires honesty about wrongdoing and recognition of complex causes like existing intertribal conflict.
- Pr. Bryan Wolfmueller urges both confessing sins of the past and continuing missionary care and compassion today.
Pray, Encourage, And Respect Parental Boundaries
- Pray continually for a sponsored child's faith and maintain a relationship with the parents to speak law and gospel kindly.
- Provide Lutheran resources and gifts when permitted, but accept limits if parents restrict access.
Faith Is Created By The Word, Not The Will
- Romans 10 shows salvation hinges on God's promise preached and received, not on a human decision as a meritorious work.
- Pr. Bryan Wolfmueller explains faith is created by hearing the Word, not an act of autonomous will.
