I’m a longtime Lutheran who loves the centrality of Word and Sacrament and speaks of Baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and Absolution with reverence, recognizing that God preserves His church through the Means of Grace. I try daily to live faithfully in my God-given vocations—as husband, father, grandfather, congregant, and neighbor—acknowledging these roles as divine callings rather than just human responsibilities. I understand that I have limits of knowledge, and I strive to continually read Scripture and engage in opportunities to be catechized. I recognize the importance of supporting my pastors, honoring church order, and growing under Word and Sacrament in the congregation where God has placed me.
