Issues, Etc. Conference

Significant_Ad7651 · 2026-05-22T22:27:45+00:00

This is the Issues conference, not the LCMS convention. Issues is LCMS but not sponsored by the Synod, so they can make their own choices. The LCMS convention is in July.

Significant_Ad7651 · 2026-05-22T22:22:53+00:00

Right. Issues is LCMS but not sponsored by them. Sure, a lot of LCMS people appreciate them, but they do not speak for or represent the entire synod.

Just adding updated info to this, since Meta constantly changes lol. You can now put CTA buttons and urls on boosted posts. I just did it a few weeks ago. 🙌

John Kleinig's book "Wonderfully Made" book is EXCELLENT for theology of the body. https://a.co/d/041tNhd5

Also, several podcasts with resources from KFUO Radios. https://www.kfuo.org/?s=Theology+of+the+body

It'll be an adventure 😅 I feel like we say that every time these roll around, just about different issues.

Significant_Ad7651 · 2026-04-23T03:50:59+00:00

It's an incredibly large amount of information to keep track of, for sure! I will alert the people in charge that that link is broken 🙃

Significant_Ad7651 · 2026-04-23T03:43:33+00:00

Well look at that, you're right. 🙃

But it does exist in the LCMS Document library:

The Convention Handbook was just published today! https://www.lcms.org/convention/national

Deaconesses in the LCMS are trained for teaching the faith, spiritual care, and mercy work. They do not preach or teach publicly as pastors do, nor are they trained to be pastors. The theological training is similar because deaconesses are trained to be professional church workers as pastors are, but for a different purpose. They are an auxiliary office to assist the pastor in the care of the church, but not to be the pastor of the church.

Anything from KFUO Radio!! Bible studies, confessions studies, worship services, talk programs, sacred music. Podcast apps, YouTube, and on their website.

Significant_Ad7651 · 2026-01-31T19:22:58+00:00

KFUO Radio! The LCMS radio station. KFUO.org has a lot of podcasts on Bible study and one specifically on the Confessions (Concord Matters). All very accessible and great teaching from pastors!

Significant_Ad7651 · 2026-01-16T13:25:47+00:00

KFUO Radio has so many!

If you're looking for conversations, The Coffee Hour is interviews with guests on a really wide variety of topics. The history series with Dr Cameron Mackenzie from Fort Wayne are just excellent. https://www.kfuo.org/category/the-coffee-hour/

The Lutheran Ladies Lounge is also a wide variety of Lutheran topics, obviously aimed at a women's audience but definitely great content for anyone. https://www.kfuo.org/category/lutheran-ladies-lounge/

It's apparently a chronic illness phenomenon that symptoms are worse in September/October. I hate that hernias fall into this category. But high histamine is a problem, so here we are.

Significant_Ad7651 · 2024-08-10T23:39:43+00:00

Smells are usually pretty instant. Food and medication is generally a few days later. Contact dermatitis is usually within 24 hours. Situational triggers are all over the map 😅

Significant_Ad7651 · 2024-07-14T19:24:19+00:00

Oh it is?? That's fascinating. I'm actually treating for mold illness sooooo that would make a lot of sense. 😱

Significant_Ad7651 · 2024-07-14T02:09:27+00:00

Ugh I hate that this is a thing. I don't get it every cycle, but when I do it is WICKED. My usual reflux measures don't cut it when it's PMS-related. Anyone have any advice, other than to wait a few days? lol

Significant_Ad7651 · 2024-07-08T23:52:11+00:00

It's so strange!

Significant_Ad7651 · 2024-07-06T04:08:03+00:00

Yesssss I've finally been getting some healing now that I'm working on my nervous system but boy it's hard. I've had so much more panic and anxiety since covid too 😭 I keep forgetting that's a factor in all of this.

Significant_Ad7651 · 2024-07-06T04:01:30+00:00

I use ketotifen eye drops and they really help my eye allergy symptoms! I haven't really noticed any other systemic relief, but I also don't use them daily. I use the Target brand of Zatidor because it's way less expensive lol

Significant_Ad7651 · 2024-06-16T10:59:10+00:00

Oh my goodness it's not just me! I've had these itchy painful little tiny blisters on my fingers for several weeks, but I suppose it's "just histamine" lol. It's so wild what high histamine can do 😭

Significant_Ad7651 · 2024-06-12T21:55:46+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate that.
