  • サマリー

  • Reverend Dr. Harold Ristau joins us to share his remarkable journey from being a military chaplain in Canada and academic dean in Africa to leading Luther Classical College in Wyoming. In this episode, listeners will gain insight into Dr. Ristau's vision for a Christ-centered educational environment that marries practical trades with rigorous theological and philosophical studies. Discover how the college's commitment to a 100% Lutheran faculty and its partnership with Concordia Nebraska sets it apart in the landscape of Christian education.

    We dive into the ethical complexities surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, from vaccine ethics to media misinformation. Dr. Ristau reflects on the differing responses between Canada and the United States, highlighting cultural influences and the role of skepticism in media narratives. As we explore the ethical dilemmas faced by religious communities, our conversation underscores the importance of informed decision-making and standing firm on moral issues, especially for church leaders guiding their congregations through these turbulent times.
