Time of Enthusiasm



"I'm too sexy for the WELS, too sexy for the WELS, too sexy..."

off subject perhaps,
but did you know that a top administrator at St. Marcus school isn't even
a Christian?


Good job Henry Tyson
Good job Mark Jeske

...oh wait, that's right, Mark Jeske no longer chooses to acknowledge his call to St. Marcus, giving his time to time of grace

GJ - I was going to mention that the official WELS site links to Time of Enthusiasm--for worship--and again to the commercial enterprises of TOE, but Jeske does not reciprocate. He pulls money from WELS donors and then gets grants from all the foundations and $250,000 from Thrivent.

Can anyone tell he is a Lutheran or WELS from his broadcasts, which are subsidized and supported by WELS?

He is a stealth leader of Church and Change, with no less than three staffmembers serving on the board, though Ski left for A-town and Bruce Becker left the board (or at least the board webpage).

According to Jeske, everything has to change. Is anyone perplexed that his former assistant pastor was trained by Stanley, Groeschel, and Granger Community Church for the Popcorn Cathedral of Rock ministry?

WELS is clearly divided and devouring itself on its own website, which happens to be run by a Bill Hybels devotee.

Jeske is a joke. I hear the Crystal Cathedral needs a new worship leader since dad kicked the son to the curb. Maybe we can send Jeske a job application for this position.
