The Lutheran Podcast
I'm Rev. Eric Wolf, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Sudbury, MA (https://www.stjohnsudburyma.org). This podcast mostly contains the sermons I preach there, though I may add more at some point. I believe strongly that the task of preaching is to engage Scripture as a mirror held up to our lives so that we can confront what we see with integrity. This image we engage helps us to understand what it means to be Children of God; gain perspective of what it means that our primary citizenship and allegiance belongs to God’s Kingdom; and discover how the love of God transforms what we see when we look at ourselves, the people in our lives, and the world that God so loves.

From What to Why

“What in the world are you doing?!?” are words we often hear during times of trouble. Less frequently, we hear the question, “why?”.
It doesn’t end there though, because too often we react to what happens rather than ask with true curiosity why someone might have done it, affording them the best of intentions.
Moving from what to why is the act of rehumanizing “them” AND us in order to learn what it really means to love.
