  Don and Karen Meyer Part 2 REPOSTED from our first season of Christ in All Things 21.06.2026 23λ

  This is “Part 2” of our interview with Don and Karen Meyer.June is “Biblical Marriage Month” at St. Paul’s. It is a celebration of God’s design for marriage, even as it is lived out in the brokenness of this world. Christ is “in all things.” (Col 1.17) He is in marriages that are thriving, and in marriages that are struggling. He says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27, ESV) Christ’s call is to follow, and since—per Ephesians 5—the marriage of Christ and His Church is the true marriage, we all have a vested interest in helping God’s design for marriage be known and practiced. Being a Christian family is about forgiving as we have been forgiven by Christ, and about growing in faith, hope, and love.

  "One Baptism" and Confirmation 02.05.2026 32λ

  At St. Paul’s the first Lord’s Day in May is “Confirmation.” In this episode we talk about what confirmation is for Lutherans. We address the questions asked—and promises made—in confirmation. As listeners will hear, there is a deep connection between the third article of The Nicene Creed and Baptism. In the Nicene Creed we confess, “. . . And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church, I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins. . .” In the Rite of Confirmation, the pastor asks, “Do you this day in the presence of God and of this congregation acknowledge the gifts that God gave you in your Baptism?” What do those things mean? What do they have to do with one another? What are those being confirmed actually confessing and promising when they are confirmed?Recorded 29 April, 2026

  Liturgy and Evangelism, a Conversation 19.04.2026 43λ

  Buckle up. This might be the most important episode we've recorded in three seasons of Christ In All Things. “’Liturgy and Evangelism,’ a Conversation” is deeply theological and personal for both pastors here. It’s about being lost and being found by Christ. The conversation flows from “Liturgy and Evangelism” by Dr. Kurt Marquardt (Please listen to the previous episode for the full reading of that essay.). We make application to the life of the Church in general and at St. Paul’s. We pray that reflecting on this essay will be as challenging—and as enlightening—for you as it was for the pastors involved here. We think you’ll hear that in spades.For the text of Dr. Marquardt’s essay, see “Liturgy and Evangelism” in Lutheran Worship: History and Practice (St. Louis, CPH, 1993) 58-76.Recorded 6 February, 2026

  Liturgy and Evangelism by Dr. Kurt Marquardt 18.04.2026 1ώ 6λ

  Welcome to “Liturgy and Evangelism by Dr. Kurt Marquardt.” In this episode you’ll hear a personal introduction to the late +Rev. Dr. Kurt Marquard+ by Pastor Lance O’Donnell, which became—much to his surprise—a deeply emotional live-mic moment. We decided to leave it because it helps provide a sense of the man who wrote the essay that so faithfully and clearly explains why a consistent, Scripture-based order of service or “liturgy”—especially sung liturgy—is best not only for Christian faith formation, but for evangelism. This episode has the introduction and the essay. The next episode, “’Liturgy and Evangelism,’ a Conversation,” provides deeper personal and churchly reflection. We encourage you to listen to both.For the text of Dr. Marquardt’s essay, see “Liturgy and Evangelism” in Lutheran Worship: History and Practice (St. Louis, CPH, 1993) 58-76. Used by permission.

  Meet Rev. Dr. Ross Shaver. Part 2 05.04.2026 34λ

  What a joy it was to talk with Ross Shaver! In Part 2 of this interview, which was recorded shortly before the Shavers deployed for their missionary work in the Dominican Republic. This episode is really an extended discussion of pastoral and missionary formation. It is an insight into the unique ways Christ forms men for the work to which He calls them. We also have a fascinating discussion about Christian education and what Dr. Shaver has learned, both from his youth and the education of his family, about how best to educate humans. There’s a fruitful discussion of the classical model and how model can—and should—be considered by modern Christians.Recorded 5 April, A.D. 2024

  Meet Rev. Dr. Ross Shaver. Part 1 04.04.2026 31λ

  Rev. Dr. Ross Patrick Shaver is a missionary and theological educator with the Dominican Republic Lutheran Mission. We, at Christ In All Things, have had this in the hopper for some time and are pleased to finally publish it. This episode was recorded just before he and his family deployed to the mission field. As you’ll hear, Dr. Shaver was deeply impacted by a faithful Christian upbringing, by his marriage and parish life, and by his special path to fatherhood. By virtue of his family upbringing, you’ll hear a fascinating correspondence between things that Al and Kathy Mueller talked about in our conversation about what they learned by moving. As a congregation that has a deep history of support for the Lutheran mission in the Dominican Republic, it is our delight to have more personal connections with that mission.Recorded 5 April, A.D. 2024

  Meet Al Mueller. Part 2 22.03.2026 31λ

  Welcome to Part 2 of our interview with Alfred Paul “Al” Mueller. This episode continues the previous discussion about servant leadership; in particular, about Al’s parents and family. You’ll hear a classic “Al and Kathy” courtship story. You’ll hear some beautiful reflections about the Mueller’s family joy in service. You’ll hear some faithful advice about how to become part of a congregational family when you move, and you’ll hear a really beautiful golf story that isn’t so much about golf, but about service; that is, about Christ In All Things.Recorded 6 March, A.D. 2026

  Meet Al Mueller. Part 1 21.03.2026 28λ

  Back in the day at St. Paul’s, Alfred Paul “Al” Mueller was known for giving “a little elbow” to someone who ran the baseline too vigorously in the men’s pick-up basketball games. You’ll find a different Al in this interview: gentle, deeply thoughtful, thankful, at rest of soul in Christ. A couple weeks back listeners heard from Al’s effervescent wife, Kathy. Here you’ll find a man deeply thankful for the lessons in servant-leadership he learned from his boyhood that impacted everything about his life.Recorded 6 March, A.D. 2026

  Meet Kathy Jane Mueller. Part 2 08.03.2026 32λ

  Part 2 of our interview with Kathy Jane Mueller centers in the importance of worship in the Christian life. Kathy—in her own charitable and humorous way—helps us understand how following Christ into active participation in the congregation is important. As Kathy notes, when you make yourself available, the Lord will send someone in your path to welcome you and make you feel at home and include you, and it will strengthen your faith. Kathy points out that each of us “have gifts to give. And if you don’t come, you can’t give the gift.” As the conversation continues, you’ll hear a beautiful reflection on what it means to be part of a christian congregation, which is the family of God.Recorded 26 February, A.D. 2026

  Meet Kathy Jane Mueller. Part 1 07.03.2026 31λ

  Listeners might remember Kathy Jane Mueller from episodes 94-95, when she sat alongside her mother, Ruth Polcha, for her Christ In All Things interview. We’re very excited to have Kathy back to talk about her own journey in Christ. As you will hear, Kathy blends a great reverence for Christ, a love of His Church, true honor for her family, and a terrific sense of humor. Recorded 26 February, A.D. 2026

  The Salutation is NOT a Holy Howdy. Part 2 22.02.2026 38λ

  Welcome to Part 2 of “The Salutation is Not a Holy Howdy.” As our guest, Rev. Dr. Timothy Quill notes, when—as a pastoral greeting—The Salutation is given, “the knot of love between pastor and people is strengthened.” We speak about how and when the pastor is to speak The Salutation, and we move from there into a broader conversation about different aspects of the liturgy, the pastor’s conduct of the liturgy, and the evangelical and missiological power of liturgical hospitality.Recorded 29 January, A.D. 2026
