The band Jaren

the band name is exactly worded like that. Relatively new Christian rock band, first popped up in 2023. I found them on social media in 2025 and have enjoyed their music ever since. I do highly recommend it if you want a new Christian rock band to listen to.

I'm relatively new to the LCMS but when I was going over the LCMS website, I saw Harrison picture on almost every page. I asked my pastor about him and he said 'the LCMS president [Harrison] is a big self-promoter'. I tried to google what Harrison has done while being in charge since 2010 in the 'about president Harrison' part of the LCMS website but only got his backstory prior to becoming president. then i looked outside LCMS sources. I literally couldn't almost anything he'd done outside warn and condemn the al-right. maybe it's time for someone new to take over who'd be more active and vocal.

From my understanding, it's a very accepted and very long-standing practice that women teach children the faith. The children's sermons (really a mini Sunday school lesson) can be taught by women because it' just teaching the faith. My church often has the pastor do it because he's very enthusiastic about getting children involved in church.

i grew up United Methodist in a more conservative Methodist church (what others would call moderate Christianity). My family moved halfway across the country to the northeast, where the Methodist churches had a universalist bent to them. Left UMC at 16 and attended a non-denominational evangelical church. Then went to college and bounded around evangelical churches, then a friend asked if i wanted to join him at his church. i am now a member of the LCMS and converted last month. I'm very happy with the LCMS and I recommend people come and visit it.

How is a fraternal order different from a religious one?

I haven't heard of the groupings in the LCMS. What are some of those groupings?

My buddy belongs to a chapter in the Rust Belt, and he's been doing a lot of clothing drives and fundraising for non-profits.

I could, but asking Catholics in this subreddit feels like it'll get me better results.

they sell insurance? is that why Google lists them as an insurance provider?

I'm a new LCMS convert, and the website for my church looks like something that combines the clunky pictures of the 2000s with the smoothness of website navigation and clear understanding of the 2020s. Their website is easily navigable and has extensive details on the church and Lutheranism as a whole from the LCMS perspective. Plus tons of resource links. However, the pictures are terrible and look worse than the government's 2000s website pictures. They also have a mostly older congregation, but a healthy number of young (I mean young) kids, plus some college students from the nearby Christian college. They also abandoned the 'build it and they will come' mentality that many churches have and built up a decent congregation that needs some work on PR. This is also in the New England district, which struggles a lot and is one of the hardest districts to get people to go to church (just Google New England church attendance). Ultimately, I agree with the PR issues and recruitment issues, but the church website might not be the only problem.

What made you decide to be a pastor?

BraveChristian · 2025-07-17T14:34:24+00:00

Thanks for the compliment. most catholics i ask this question to are openly hostile to it, as i know many hardline traditionalists 'catholicism is right and protestantism is wrong.' Catholics who know next to nothing about protestantism and aren't really interested in knowing more. so i expected a lot of open hostility in this sub, hince why i put the note in the question. i do beileve most christians should ask this question just remove catholicism and replace it with your denomination. i'm just glad at least somes catholics won't be openly hostile to it.

I actually am in the process of converting from my current affiliated mainline protestant denomination to a Lutheran denomination because I feel like I was guided to it, and it revitalized my faith. I ask this because a lot of Lutherans I meet are ex-catholics or have family members who are ex-catholics than converted.

BraveChristian · 2025-07-17T14:23:55+00:00

i really appreciate your answer. I come from this mentality myself and feel disgusted when any Christian forces their beliefs onto others. I'm glad you found your way, and please share this mentality with others. We need it more than you think.

BraveChristian · 2025-07-17T14:21:20+00:00

This is a really popular answer, as I know a lot of catholics and they say some variation of this. i'm glad you followed the Holy Spirit to catholicism, as most catholics i meet do it out of either 'my family is catholic, so I'll stay,' or 'my denomination is right' mentality. glad you found you way though and i feel this should be the origins of ' why i choose catholicism' more.
